Including filter system and high-performance Radium filter.
Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal that can enter groundwater and, in some places, residential drinking water. Because you can’t see, smell, or taste it, testing is the only sure way to know if it’s in your tap water. Lab reports and utility tests may list it as radium-226 or radium-228. Homeowners in Orlando — whether in Downtown, Winter Park, Lake Nona or elsewhere around Orange County — often prefer a solution that protects every faucet, not just the kitchen sink.
Radium gets into water as it moves through certain rocks and soils, so its occurrence depends on local geology rather than everyday household activities. It can travel with other dissolved minerals, including those that contribute to Orlando’s moderate water hardness, even when water looks clear. If you’re worried about long-term exposure, treating water at the point it enters your Orlando home—before drinking, cooking, or bathing—helps ensure consistent reduction throughout the plumbing.
For whole-house radium reduction, an ion exchange water softener is commonly the most effective single-filter option. These systems use resin beads to swap sodium or potassium ions for certain dissolved minerals, and radium can be removed during that exchange. When radium is dissolved rather than attached to sediment, an ion exchange unit installed on the main line treats all incoming water and helps keep protection uniform at every tap in your Orlando home.
Because ion exchange resin has limited capacity, correct sizing and routine maintenance are important for dependable radium removal. The system must be regenerated on a schedule that fits your household demand and water chemistry so the media doesn’t exhaust prematurely. Many Orlando homes also benefit from a sediment prefilter to guard the resin and maintain steady flow, especially with the region’s warm climate that can encourage biofilm. Mr. Pure Water can help pick and install a whole-house ion exchange solution that targets radium-226 and radium-228 and matches your plumbing and usage.
