Including filter system and high-performance Radium filter.
Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal that can leach into groundwater and, in some situations, into drinking water supplies. Because you can’t see, smell, or taste it at your tap in Ortona, testing is the only reliable way to know whether it’s present. You may also find it reported as radium-226 or radium-228 on lab results. When homeowners in the Daytona Beach metro area want protection beyond a single faucet, many choose a solution that treats every outlet in the house.
The chance of radium showing up in household water depends on local geology and how water moves through rock and soil—not on daily plumbing habits. In Ortona and nearby Volusia County communities, radium can travel with other dissolved minerals, so even clear water or moderately hard water can carry it. If you’re worried about long-term exposure, treating water where it enters your home gives whole-home coverage for drinking, cooking, and bathing and keeps water quality consistent across all taps.
An ion exchange water softener is often the most effective single-filter option for whole-house radium reduction. These systems use resin beads to exchange sodium or potassium ions for certain dissolved minerals, and radium can be removed through the same process. When radium is dissolved rather than bound to sediment, an ion exchange unit installed on the main supply provides consistent treatment for every faucet in your Ortona home.
Because ion exchange media has limited capacity, correct sizing and routine maintenance are essential for dependable radium removal over time. The resin needs regular regeneration, and system settings should reflect your household demand and water chemistry—especially given Ortona’s coastal, humid environment and moderate hardness—to avoid premature exhaustion. Prefiltration for sediment is often recommended to protect the resin and preserve flow. Mr. Pure Water can help pick and install a whole-house ion exchange setup tuned for radium-226 and radium-228 and matched to your home’s plumbing.
