Including filter system and high-performance Radium filter.
Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal that can enter groundwater and, in some places, household tap water. Because it has no taste, smell, or color, the only reliable way to know if radium, radium-226, or radium-228 are present is through testing. Many Orangetree homeowners prefer a treatment that protects the entire house rather than only a single faucet, especially given our humid subtropical climate and the potential for service interruptions after storms.
Radium’s presence is tied to local geology—water moving through certain rock and soil can pick it up—so it can appear alongside other dissolved minerals even when water seems clear. In Orangetree, where homes often deal with mineral scaling from hard groundwater, treating water at the point it enters the house is a practical way to reduce long-term exposure. A whole-house system treats every tap for drinking, cooking, and bathing, and helps maintain consistent water quality throughout the plumbing.
For whole-house radium reduction, an ion exchange water softener is frequently the most effective single-filter option. These systems use resin beads to exchange sodium or potassium ions for certain dissolved minerals, and radium can be removed in that same process. That makes ion exchange a good match when radium is dissolved in the water rather than attached to sediment. Installed on the main line, it treats all incoming water so every faucet in your Orangetree home benefits.
Because ion exchange resin has limited capacity, correct sizing and routine maintenance are important for dependable radium removal. The resin must be regenerated on a schedule that fits your water chemistry and household demand so the media doesn’t exhaust prematurely. Many Orangetree homes also gain from a sediment prefilter to protect the resin and maintain steady flow—especially helpful with our hard groundwater and occasional storm-related service issues. Mr. Pure Water can recommend and install a whole-house ion exchange system that targets radium-226 and radium-228 while matching your home’s plumbing and needs.
