Including filter system and high-performance Radium filter.
Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal that can enter groundwater and sometimes show up in residential water supplies. Because you can’t see, taste, or smell it, testing is the only reliable way to know whether it’s present; lab results may list it as radium-226 or radium-228. Homeowners across North Merritt Island—whether on municipal lines or private wells—often choose treatment that safeguards every tap rather than just a single point of use.
Radium gets into water as it moves through certain rock and soil, so detection depends on local geology more than household habits. It often travels with other dissolved minerals, so in our hard water here in North Merritt Island you might see it alongside hardness and other solids even when the water looks clear. If you’re worried about long-term exposure, installing treatment where water enters the house provides protection for drinking, cooking, and bathing throughout your plumbing.
For whole-house radium removal, an ion exchange water softener is frequently the most effective single-filter choice. These systems use resin beads that exchange sodium or potassium ions for dissolved minerals, and they can capture radium in the same process. That makes them a good option when radium is dissolved rather than bound to sediment—ideal for many North Merritt Island homes dealing with hard water—and when installed on the main line they protect every faucet.
Ion exchange systems have limited capacity, so correct sizing and upkeep matter for steady radium control over time. The resin requires regular regeneration, and settings should reflect your water chemistry and household demand so the media isn’t exhausted prematurely. Many properties in Brevard County also benefit from a sediment prefilter to protect the resin and maintain flow; Mr. Pure Water can help choose and install a whole-house ion exchange system that targets radium-226 and radium-228 while matching North Merritt Island plumbing and usage patterns.
