Including filter system and high-performance Radium filter.
Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal that can sometimes be present in groundwater and household drinking water. It’s not detectable by taste, smell, or sight, so testing is the only reliable way for Palm Beach homeowners to know what’s in their taps. You may see it reported as radium-226 or radium-228 on lab results or water quality reports. When people in Palm Beach want protection for the whole house — not just a single faucet — they often look for treatments that address every outlet and appliance.
Because radium can dissolve into water as it passes through certain rocks and soils, local geology determines its presence more than everyday plumbing use. In Palm Beach County, where municipal water is generally hard and carries dissolved minerals, radium can travel alongside hardness and other dissolved solids even when the water looks clear. If you’re worried about long-term exposure, treating water at the point it enters your Town of Palm Beach home helps protect drinking, cooking, bathing and appliances throughout the house.
For 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 for certain dissolved minerals, and they can capture radium as part of that process. That makes ion exchange a good match when radium is dissolved in the water rather than attached to sediment. Installed on the main service line, a properly sized softener treats all water entering Palm Beach homes so every tap gets the same protection.
Because an ion exchange system has limited capacity, correct sizing and routine maintenance are essential for dependable radium reduction over time. The resin requires regular regeneration, and settings should be tuned to Palm Beach water chemistry and your household’s usage so the media doesn’t exhaust prematurely. Many local homes also benefit from 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 solution that targets radium-226 and radium-228 while fitting your plumbing and daily needs.
