Including filter system and high-performance Radium filter.
Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal that can enter groundwater and sometimes shows up in household water supplies. Because you can’t see, taste, or smell radium, testing is the only reliable way to know whether it’s in your tap water. You may find it reported as radium-226 or radium-228 on lab results. For many Roseland homeowners—whether on a private well or connected to a municipal source—the preferred approach is whole-house protection that treats every faucet, not just the kitchen sink.
Radium dissolves into water as it moves through certain rock and soils, so local geology determines its presence more than everyday household habits. Because it behaves like other dissolved minerals, radium can travel with hard-water minerals commonly found around Roseland and the Indian River County area, even when water appears clear. If you’re worried about long-term exposure, treating water where it enters your home keeps drinking, cooking, and bathing water consistently protected throughout your plumbing.
For whole-house radium reduction, an ion exchange water softener is often the most effective single-filter option. These systems use resin beads to exchange sodium or potassium ions for certain dissolved minerals, and radium can be removed through the same process. This solution works well when radium is present in dissolved form rather than attached to sediment. Installed on the main service line, an ion exchange softener treats all water entering Roseland homes so every tap benefits from the same protection.
Because ion exchange resin has limited capacity, correct sizing and routine maintenance are essential for dependable radium removal. Resin requires regular regeneration, and the system’s settings should reflect your household water use and chemistry—including hard water conditions common in the area—so the media doesn’t exhaust prematurely. Many Roseland homes also gain from a sediment prefilter to shield the resin and preserve flow. Mr. Pure Water can help you choose and install a whole-house ion exchange system that targets radium-226 and radium-228 and fits your plumbing and lifestyle.
