Including filter system and high-performance Radium filter.
Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal that can sometimes be present in groundwater and, in some communities, in household water supplies. Because you can’t see, smell, or taste radium, testing is the only reliable way for North Palm Beach homeowners to know whether it’s in your tap water. You may also encounter it listed as radium-226 or radium-228 on lab reports; when concentrations are a concern, many local residents choose treatments that protect the whole house rather than a single faucet.
Radium enters water as it moves through certain rock and soil formations, so its occurrence is linked to local geology more than to daily household habits. In North Palm Beach, where municipal supplies are typically hard and mineral-laden, radium can behave like other dissolved solids and travel through plumbing while the water still appears clear. If you’re worried about long-term exposure, installing treatment at the point the water enters your home provides protection for drinking, cooking, bathing and all fixtures throughout the house.
When you want whole-house radium reduction, 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 dissolved minerals, and they can remove radium-226 and radium-228 when the contaminant is in dissolved form. Mounted on the main service line, an ion exchange softener treats all incoming water so every tap in your North Palm Beach home is covered.
Because ion exchange resin has limited capacity, correct sizing and routine maintenance are essential to sustain radium removal over time. The media must be regenerated on a schedule that matches your household demand and local water chemistry—especially in hard-water areas like North Palm Beach—so the resin doesn’t exhaust prematurely. Many homeowners also add a sediment prefilter to protect the resin and maintain steady flow. Mr. Pure Water can help you choose and install a whole‑house ion exchange system tailored to remove radium-226 and radium-228 while fitting your home’s plumbing and usage patterns.
