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. You won’t be able to see, smell, or taste it, so testing is the only reliable way to know if it’s in your tap. Lab results or water reports may list it as radium-226 or radium-228. Many Salem homeowners choose treatments that protect every faucet rather than just a single point of use.
Because radium leaches from certain rock and soil formations, its presence depends on local geology more than on daily activities inside your house. It often travels with other dissolved minerals, so even clear water can carry it alongside hardness or other dissolved solids. If you want to reduce potential long-term exposure in a Salem home, treating the water where it enters the house provides whole-house protection for drinking, cooking, and bathing.
For whole-house radium reduction, an ion exchange water softener is commonly the most effective single-filter option. These systems use resin beads that exchange sodium or potassium ions for certain dissolved minerals, and radium can be removed through that same process. When radium is dissolved rather than bound to sediment, an ion exchange system on the main line treats all incoming water to help maintain consistent protection at every tap in your Salem residence.
Ion exchange systems have limited capacity, so correct sizing and routine maintenance matter for dependable radium removal. The resin requires regular regeneration, and system settings should match your water chemistry and household usage to avoid premature exhaustion. Many homes benefit from a sediment prefilter to protect the resin and preserve flow. Mr. Pure Water in Salem can help you choose and install a whole-house ion exchange system that targets radium-226 and radium-228 and fits your plumbing and water needs.
