Including filter system and high-performance Radium filter.
Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal that can enter groundwater and, in some places, residential plumbing systems. Because you can’t see, smell, or taste radium, testing is the only reliable way to know whether it’s in your tap water. Look for the names radium-226 or radium-228 on lab results and water reports. Many North Naples homeowners choose treatments that protect the whole house so every faucet — not just the kitchen sink — delivers the same treated water.
Radium gets into water as it moves through certain rock and soil layers, so its occurrence depends on local geology rather than everyday household habits. In North Naples and elsewhere in Collier County, radium can travel with the same dissolved minerals that make water hard, so water may appear clear while still carrying dissolved contaminants. If you’re worried about long-term exposure, treating water at the point it enters your home provides protection for drinking, cooking, bathing, and appliances across every fixture.
When removing radium from whole-house water, an ion exchange water softener is often the single-filter style that works best. These systems use resin beads to exchange sodium or potassium ions for certain dissolved minerals, and that same process can capture radium-226 and radium-228 when the contaminant is dissolved rather than tied to sediment. Installed on the main line, an ion exchange softener treats all incoming water to maintain consistent quality at every tap in your North Naples home.
Ion exchange systems have limited capacity, so correct sizing and routine maintenance are important for dependable radium removal. The resin requires regular regeneration, and system settings should be matched to your home’s water chemistry — North Naples supplies are typically hard and can contribute to scale — and household demand to avoid premature exhaustion. Prefiltration for sediment often helps protect the resin and maintain steady flow; Mr. Pure Water can recommend and install a whole-house ion exchange solution tailored to your plumbing and usage that targets radium-226 and radium-228.
