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. Because you can’t see, smell, or taste it, testing is the only reliable way to know whether it’s in your tap. On lab reports it may appear as radium-226 or radium-228. Many Portland homeowners choose treatments that protect every faucet instead of just a single tap to make sure family water is treated consistently.
Radium often dissolves into water as it travels through certain rock and soil, so its presence depends on local geology more than daily household activity. It can behave like other dissolved minerals and may move with hardness or other solids even when water looks clear. If you’re worried about long-term exposure in a Portland home, treating water at the point it enters the house with a whole-house system helps reduce radium across plumbing and keeps water consistent for drinking, cooking, and bathing.
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 ions for certain dissolved minerals, and that same process can capture radium when it’s present in dissolved form. Installed on the main line in Portland homes, an ion exchange unit treats all incoming water so every faucet benefits from the same level of protection.
Because ion exchange resin has limited capacity, correct sizing and routine maintenance are essential to keep radium removal reliable over time. The media must be regenerated on a schedule that fits your household’s demand and water chemistry so it doesn’t become exhausted prematurely. Many homes gain extra protection from a sediment prefilter to shield the resin and preserve flow. Mr. Pure Water can help Portland homeowners choose, size, and install a whole-house ion exchange system that targets radium-226 and radium-228 while matching your plumbing and usage.
