Including filter system and high-performance Radium filter.
Radium is a radioactive metal that can occur naturally in groundwater and sometimes in residential tap water, yet you won’t be able to see, smell, or taste it. Local water reports and lab results may list it as radium-226 or radium-228. In Saint Augustine South and surrounding areas of St. Johns County, the only way to know what’s in your plumbing is to test — and many homeowners choose treatment that protects the whole house, not just a single sink or pitcher.
Because radium dissolves into water as it moves through certain rock and soil, its occurrence depends on local geology rather than daily household habits. It can travel with other dissolved minerals, including the hardness common to St. Johns County groundwater, even when water appears clear. If you want to reduce long-term exposure for everyone in the home — from drinking and cooking to showering — treating water where it enters the house in Saint Augustine South is the most reliable approach.
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 dissolved minerals, and they can capture radium in that same process. Installed on the main water line, an ion exchange unit treats all incoming water to help maintain consistent quality at every faucet in your Saint Augustine South home.
Ion exchange systems have limited capacity, so correct sizing and routine maintenance are essential for sustained radium removal. The resin requires regular regeneration, and settings should be matched to your household demand and the hard, mineral-rich groundwater common in our area to prevent early exhaustion. Prefiltration for sediment is often recommended to protect the resin and preserve flow. Mr. Pure Water can assess your Saint Augustine South plumbing and help specify and install a whole-house ion exchange system that targets radium-226 and radium-228.
