Including filter system and high-performance Radium filter.
Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal that can appear in groundwater and occasionally in household drinking water. Because it has no color, odor, or taste, Seaglades homeowners won’t detect it without testing; lab reports may list it as radium-226 or radium-228. When tests show elevated levels, many families prefer a treatment that protects every faucet instead of only a single point like the kitchen tap.
Radium enters water as it moves through certain rock and soil, so whether it’s in your tap water depends on local geology more than day-to-day plumbing. It tends to behave like other dissolved minerals, sometimes traveling along with hardness or other dissolved solids even when water looks clear. In Seaglades, treating water where it enters the home helps ensure consistent reduction throughout the plumbing so drinking, cooking, and bathing water are all covered long term.
For whole-house radium control, an ion exchange water softener is often the single-filter style that works best. These systems use resin beads to exchange sodium or potassium ions for certain dissolved minerals, and radium can be removed during that same process. When radium is present dissolved in the water rather than attached to sediment, an ion exchange unit installed on the main line treats all incoming water and helps provide uniform protection at every tap in a Seaglades home.
Because ion exchange resin has limited capacity, correct sizing and routine maintenance are important for dependable radium reduction. The media must be regenerated on a schedule that suits your water chemistry and household use so it doesn’t exhaust prematurely. Many Seaglades homes also benefit from a sediment prefilter to protect the resin and maintain flow. Mr. Pure Water can assess your plumbing and water profile and recommend a whole-house ion exchange setup that targets radium-226 and radium-228 while fitting your home’s needs.
