Including filter system and high-performance Radium filter.
Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal that sometimes leaches into groundwater and can be found in household water supplies. Because it has no taste, smell, or color, the only reliable way to know if it’s present in your Palm Springs tap water is through proper testing. You may also see it referred to as radium-226 or radium-228 on lab reports. When homeowners want protection across their whole plumbing system — not just at the kitchen sink — they often look to whole-house treatment options.
Radium typically enters water as it moves through certain rock and soil, so its occurrence depends on local geology rather than everyday household activity. Because it behaves like other dissolved minerals, it can travel with hard water and other dissolved solids common in Palm Beach County supplies, even when the water appears clear. If you’re worried about long-term exposure, treating water where it enters your Palm Springs home provides protection for drinking, cooking, bathing and appliances affected by limescale.
For whole-house radium reduction, an ion exchange water softener is frequently the most effective single-filter choice. These systems use resin beads that exchange sodium or potassium for certain dissolved minerals, and radium can be removed through that same process. That makes ion exchange a good option when radium is dissolved in water rather than bound to sediment. Installed on the main service line, it treats all water entering a Palm Springs home so every faucet benefits.
Because ion exchange resin has limited capacity, correct sizing and regular maintenance are essential for ongoing radium control. The media must be regenerated on a schedule matched to your water hardness and household use — important in Palm Springs, where municipal water in Palm Beach County is commonly hard and can promote limescale. Prefiltration for sediment also helps protect the resin and maintain steady flow. Mr. Pure Water can recommend and install a whole-house ion exchange system sized for your plumbing and water demands that targets radium-226 and radium-228.
