Including filter system and high-performance Radium filter.
Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal that can appear in groundwater and sometimes in household water supplies. You won’t be able to see, taste, or smell it, so testing is the only reliable way to know what’s coming from your tap. On lab reports it may be listed as radium-226 or radium-228. Many River Park homeowners choose treatments that protect the entire house, not just a single fixture, so every shower and sink gets the same protection.
Because radium can dissolve as water moves through certain rock and soil, its presence depends on local geology more than daily use. In Brevard County’s hard groundwater, radium can travel with other dissolved minerals even when water looks clear, and that same hardness contributes to scale in heaters and fixtures. If you’re thinking about long-term exposure, treating water at the point it enters your River Park home keeps water quality consistent for drinking, cooking, and bathing across the whole plumbing system.
For whole-house radium reduction, an ion exchange water softener is frequently the most effective single-filter option. These systems use resin beads to exchange sodium or potassium ions for dissolved minerals, and they can capture radium in that process. They work best when radium is dissolved in the water rather than bound to sediment, and when installed on the main line they provide protection at every tap in your River Park home.
Ion exchange systems have limited capacity, so correct sizing and regular maintenance are essential for consistent radium removal. The resin needs periodic regeneration, and system settings should match your water chemistry and household demand—especially here in hard-water Brevard County—to avoid premature exhaustion. Many homeowners also add a sediment prefilter to protect the resin and maintain flow; Mr. Pure Water can help pick and install a whole-house ion exchange setup that targets radium-226 and radium-228 and fits your River Park plumbing.
