Including filter system and high-performance Radium filter.
Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal that can leach into groundwater and sometimes into household drinking water. Because you can’t see, smell, or taste it, the only way to know whether it’s present is to test your water. Lab reports and utility tests may list it as radium-226 or radium-228. Many Montverde homeowners prefer treatment that protects every faucet — not just the kitchen — so the whole house has consistent water quality.
Radium’s presence depends largely on the local geology as water moves through rock and soil, which is why it can travel alongside hardness and other dissolved minerals common in Lake County groundwater. Even when water looks clear, dissolved contaminants can be present, so treating water at the point it enters your home is the most reliable way to reduce long-term exposure. A whole-house system treats water for drinking, cooking, bathing and appliances across Montverde properties, helping maintain consistent protection throughout your plumbing.
For whole-house radium reduction, an ion exchange water softener is often the most effective single-filter choice. These systems use resin beads to swap sodium or potassium ions for certain dissolved minerals, and radium can be removed in the same exchange process. That makes ion exchange a good match when radium is dissolved in the water rather than bound to sediment. Installed on the main service line, it treats all incoming water so every tap in your Montverde home benefits.
Because ion exchange resin has a limited capacity, correct sizing and routine maintenance are essential to keep radium reduction reliable. The resin requires regular regeneration, and system settings should be matched to your water chemistry — including the hard, mineral-rich groundwater found in Lake County — and household demand so the media doesn’t exhaust prematurely. Many homes also add a sediment prefilter to protect the resin and preserve flow. Mr. Pure Water can help choose and install a whole-house ion exchange system that targets radium-226 and radium-228 while fitting Montverde plumbing and daily water use.
