Including filter system and high-performance Radium filter.
Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal that can end up in groundwater and sometimes in household water supplies. Because you can’t see, smell, or taste radium, testing is the only reliable way to know whether it’s in your tap water. You may also see it listed as radium-226 or radium-228 on lab reports. Many homeowners around Riomar choose treatments that protect every faucet instead of only treating a single sink.
Radium gets into water as it moves through certain rock and soil, so whether it’s present depends on local geology more than everyday plumbing habits. It often travels with other dissolved minerals and can appear alongside hardness or other dissolved solids even when the water looks clear. For Riomar homes in the Jacksonville metro area, treating water where it enters the house keeps protection consistent for drinking, cooking, and bathing across the whole plumbing system.
For whole-house radium reduction, an ion exchange water softener is commonly the most effective single-filter choice. These systems use resin beads to swap sodium or potassium for certain dissolved minerals, and radium can be removed by the same process. When radium is dissolved rather than attached to sediment, an ion exchange softener installed on the main line treats all incoming water so every tap in your Riomar home benefits.
Because ion exchange media has a limited capacity, correct sizing and routine maintenance matter for dependable radium reduction. The resin needs periodic regeneration, and system settings should match your household demand and water chemistry—Riomar’s moderate hardness and the Jacksonville area’s mineral content can affect how often that occurs. Prefiltration for sediment also helps protect the resin and steady flow. Mr. Pure Water can help size, install, and maintain a whole-house ion exchange system that targets radium-226 and radium-228 while working with your home’s plumbing.
