Including filter system and high-performance Radium filter.
Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal that can enter groundwater and, in some places, residential drinking water. Because it has no color, taste, or odor, routine testing is the only reliable way to know whether it’s present. You may see it reported as radium-226 or radium-228 on lab results. Many Margate homeowners who want consistent protection for cooking, drinking, and bathing prefer treating the water where it enters the house rather than just at a single faucet.
The likelihood of radium showing up in tap water is tied to the local geology it passes through, so dissolved radium may travel with other minerals and hardness common in South Florida’s limestone aquifer. Even when water looks clear, dissolved contaminants can be present. For Margate properties—where hard water and scale are common—installing treatment at the main line helps reduce any dissolved radium throughout the plumbing, keeping water consistent for every use across the home.
For whole-house radium reduction, an ion exchange water softener is often the most effective single-filter option. These systems use resin beads that exchange sodium or potassium ions for certain dissolved minerals, and they can capture radium in that same process. When radium is present dissolved in the water rather than attached to particles, an ion exchange unit installed on the main supply treats all water entering a Margate home so every tap benefits.
Because ion exchange resin has limited capacity, correct sizing and routine maintenance are important for dependable radium removal. The resin requires periodic regeneration, and settings should be matched to your household demand and Margate’s hard water profile so the media doesn’t exhaust prematurely. Many homes also benefit from a sediment prefilter to protect the resin and maintain flow. Mr. Pure Water can recommend and install a whole-house ion exchange solution that targets radium-226 and radium-228 while fitting your plumbing and daily water use.
