Including filter system and high-performance Radium filter.
Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal that can be present in groundwater and occasionally shows up in residential tap water. You won’t be able to detect it by sight, smell, or taste, so testing is the only reliable way to know what’s in your supply. Lab reports may list it as radium-226 or radium-228. Many Medley homeowners who are cautious about unseen contaminants choose treatments that protect every faucet, not just a single point of use.
Because radium leaches into water from certain rocks and soils, its occurrence is driven more by local geology than by everyday household activities. In the Miami-Dade area — where the Biscayne Aquifer and limestone bedrock contribute to hard water and mineral content — radium can move with other dissolved solids even when the water looks clear. If you want long-term protection for drinking, cooking and bathing in your Medley home, treating water where it enters the house helps ensure consistent reduction throughout the plumbing.
At the whole-house level, an ion exchange water softener is often the best single-filter option for reducing radium. These systems use resin beads that exchange sodium or potassium for certain dissolved minerals, and radium can be removed by the same process. When radium is dissolved rather than bound to sediment, a properly installed softener on the main line treats all incoming water so every tap in your Medley home benefits.
Ion exchange systems have a limited capacity, so correct sizing and routine maintenance are essential to keep radium removal reliable. The resin needs periodic regeneration, and system settings should match your household demand and local water chemistry — especially in hard-water areas like Miami-Dade — to avoid premature exhaustion. Many homeowners also add a sediment prefilter to protect the resin and maintain steady flow. Mr. Pure Water can help you choose and install a whole-house ion exchange solution that targets radium-226 and radium-228 and fits your Medley plumbing and usage patterns.
