Including filter system and high-performance Radium filter.
Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal that may enter groundwater and, in some places, municipal or well supplies. Because you can’t see, smell, or taste it, testing is the only reliable way to know if it’s in your tap water. Lab reports and water tests often refer to it as radium-226 or radium-228. Many Redland homeowners who want protection at every faucet choose treatment that covers the whole house rather than only the kitchen sink.
Radium tends to leach into water as it moves through certain rock and soil types, so its occurrence depends on local geology more than household behavior. In South Miami-Dade’s generally hard groundwater, radium can travel with other dissolved minerals even when water appears clear. If you’re focused on reducing long-term exposure, treating water at the point of entry keeps water quality consistent for drinking, cooking, and bathing across your Redland home or nearby neighborhoods like Homestead and Leisure City.
An ion exchange water softener is often the most effective single-filter whole-house option for reducing dissolved radium. These systems use resin beads that swap sodium or potassium ions for certain dissolved minerals, and radium can be captured by the same process. When installed on the main supply line, an ion exchange system treats all water entering the home, providing consistent reduction at every tap throughout your Redland property.
Because ion exchange resin has limited capacity, correct sizing and routine regeneration are essential for dependable radium removal. Systems should be configured to match your household demand and local water chemistry—Redland’s hard water and seasonal storm influences can affect how often regeneration is needed. Prefiltration for sediment also helps protect the resin and maintain 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 usage patterns.
