Including filter system and high-performance Radium filter.
Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal that can enter groundwater and, in some places, household drinking water. You won’t be able to see, smell, or taste it, so the only reliable way to know if it’s present in your St Augustine South home is a water test. Lab reports may list it as radium-226 or radium-228. When homeowners want protection beyond a single faucet, many choose a solution that treats every outlet in the house.
Because radium leaches from certain rock and soil types, its occurrence depends on local geology rather than everyday use. In St. Johns County and the St Augustine South area, radium can travel with dissolved minerals the same way hardness and other solids do, even when water appears clear. If you’re worried about ongoing exposure, treating water where it enters the home—before it reaches fixtures, appliances, or the kitchen sink—helps protect drinking, cooking, and bathing across the house.
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 they can capture radium as part of that process. When radium is dissolved rather than bound to sediment, a softener installed on the main line treats all incoming water so every tap in a St Augustine South home benefits.
Ion exchange systems have limited capacity, so correct sizing and routine maintenance are important for dependable radium removal over time. The resin needs periodic regeneration, and settings should be matched to your home’s water chemistry and usage—especially in hard-water areas like St Augustine South where mineral scale and coastal humidity can affect performance. Many installations also include a sediment prefilter to protect the resin and maintain flow. Mr. Pure Water can help pick and install a whole-house ion exchange solution that targets radium-226 and radium-228 and fits your plumbing and household needs.
