Including filter system and high-performance Radium filter.
Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal that can enter groundwater and sometimes show up in household drinking water. Because it has no taste, smell, or color, the only reliable way to know if it’s in your tap water is through testing. You may also see it listed as radium-226 or radium-228 on lab reports. Many Peck homeowners who are concerned about radioactive minerals prefer a treatment that protects every faucet rather than only a single point of use.
Radium often gets into water as it leaches from certain rock and soil types, so its occurrence depends more on geology than on daily household habits. Like other dissolved minerals, it can move with hardness and dissolved solids even when the water looks clear. If you in Peck want to limit long-term exposure, treating water where it enters your house is the most effective approach. A whole-house system delivers consistent reduction across drinking, cooking, and bathing taps throughout your home.
For whole-house radium reduction, an ion exchange water softener is typically the most effective single‑filter option. These systems use resin beads that exchange sodium or potassium ions for certain dissolved minerals, and radium can be removed as part of that process. They work best when radium is present dissolved in the water rather than bound to sediment. Installed on the main line into your Peck home, an ion exchange unit treats all incoming water so every tap benefits.
Because ion exchange media has limited capacity, correct sizing and routine maintenance are important for dependable radium removal over time. The resin requires regular regeneration, and settings should be matched to your water chemistry and household demand to avoid premature exhaustion. Many Peck homes also do well with a sediment prefilter to protect the resin and preserve flow. Mr. Pure Water can help you choose and install a whole‑house ion exchange system that targets radium-226 and radium-228 and fits your plumbing and usage patterns.
