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; you won’t be able to taste, see, or smell it. Lab reports and water tests may list it as radium-226 or radium-228, so testing is the only reliable way to know what’s in your Pelican Lake tap water. When levels are a concern, many homeowners prefer a solution that protects the whole house rather than treating only a single faucet.
Because radium dissolves into water as it moves through certain rock and soil, its occurrence reflects local geology more than household habits. In parts of Florida that draw from the Floridan Aquifer, dissolved minerals can travel with hardness and other solids even when water looks clear. If you want to reduce long-term exposure in a Pelican Lake home, treating water at the point it enters the house ensures consistent protection for drinking, cooking, and bathing across every fixture.
For whole-house radium control, an ion exchange water softener is commonly the most effective single-filter option. These systems use resin beads to exchange sodium or potassium for certain dissolved minerals, and radium can be removed through the same process. When radium is present dissolved in the water rather than bound to sediment, an ion exchange unit installed on the main line treats all incoming water and helps keep Pelican Lake homes protected at every tap.
Ion exchange systems have a limited capacity, so correct sizing and routine maintenance are essential for dependable radium reduction. The resin requires regular regeneration and system settings should reflect your household demand and local water chemistry to avoid early exhaustion; many homes also add a sediment prefilter to protect the resin and maintain flow. Mr. Pure Water can help Pelican Lake homeowners choose and install a whole-house ion exchange system that targets radium-226 and radium-228 and fits your plumbing and usage patterns.
