Including filter system and high-performance Radium filter.
Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal that sometimes shows up in groundwater and, in certain places, in residential tap water. Because you can’t see, smell, or taste it, testing is the only reliable way to know what’s coming from your faucets. Lab reports may list it as radium-226 or radium-228. Many Miami homeowners who want protection everywhere in the house choose solutions that treat every faucet instead of just the kitchen sink.
Radium often dissolves into water as it moves through particular rock and soil layers, so its presence depends on local geology rather than everyday plumbing habits. It behaves like other dissolved minerals and can travel alongside hardness and dissolved solids—even when water appears clear. In Miami-Dade County, where water is commonly hard, addressing contaminants at the point the water enters your home helps protect drinking, cooking, and bathing water throughout the house.
When treating radium for the whole house, 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 radium can be removed in that same process. Installed on the main service line, an ion exchange softener treats all incoming water so every tap in your Miami home receives the same protection.
Because ion exchange systems have limited capacity, correct sizing and routine upkeep are essential for continued radium reduction. The resin needs regular regeneration, and system settings should reflect your household demand and water chemistry so the media doesn’t become exhausted too soon. Many Miami homes also benefit from a sediment prefilter to prevent scale and protect the resin from the region’s hard water. Mr. Pure Water can help choose and install a whole-house ion exchange solution that targets radium-226 and radium-228 and fits your plumbing and lifestyle.
