Including filter system and high-performance Radium filter.
Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal that can occur in groundwater and sometimes in household drinking water, and you won’t be able to see, smell, or taste it. In test results and water reports it may appear as radium-226 or radium-228, so lab screening is the only reliable way to know what’s coming from your taps. Many Modello homeowners — whether on municipal supply or private wells — choose treatments that protect every faucet rather than only the kitchen sink.
Because radium dissolves into water as it travels through certain rock and soil, its presence depends on local geology more than on daily use, and it can move with other dissolved minerals even when water looks clear. In South Florida’s warm, humid climate some Modello properties get water from different sources, so quality and hardness can vary; treating water where it enters the house gives steady protection for drinking, cooking, and bathing across your whole plumbing system.
For whole-house radium reduction, an ion exchange water softener is frequently 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 during that exchange. When radium is present dissolved in the water rather than attached to particles, a properly installed ion exchange unit on the main line treats all incoming water so every tap in your Modello home benefits.
Ion exchange systems have limited capacity, so correct sizing and routine maintenance are important to sustain radium removal. The resin requires regular regeneration and system settings should reflect your water chemistry and household demand to avoid early exhaustion. Many homes also gain from a sediment prefilter to shield the resin and keep flow consistent. Mr. Pure Water can help Modello homeowners choose and install a whole-house ion exchange solution that targets radium-226 and radium-228 while matching your plumbing and usage.
