Including filter system and high-performance Radium filter.
Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal that can occur in groundwater and sometimes in household water supplies. You won’t be able to see, taste, or smell it, so testing is the only reliable way to know what’s in your tap. Lab reports may list it as radium-226 or radium-228. In The Acreage, where many properties rely on private wells and water hardness varies, homeowners often choose treatments that protect every faucet rather than only a single sink.
Because radium dissolves as groundwater moves through certain rock and soil, its presence is tied to local geology more than day-to-day use. It can travel with other dissolved minerals, including the hard water minerals common around Palm Beach County’s western unincorporated areas, so clear water isn’t proof it’s absent. If you’re worried about long-term exposure in The Acreage, treating water where it enters the house provides whole-home protection for drinking, cooking, bathing and appliances.
For whole-house radium control, an ion exchange water softener is often the most effective single-filter style option. These systems use resin beads that exchange sodium or potassium for dissolved minerals, and they can capture radium during that process. This approach works well when radium is dissolved rather than bound to sediment, and installed on the main line it treats all water entering your Acreage home so every tap benefits.
Because ion exchange resins have a limited capacity, correct sizing and routine maintenance are essential to maintain radium removal. The resin requires regular regeneration and system settings should reflect your water chemistry and household demand so the media doesn’t become exhausted prematurely. Many Acreage homes also benefit from a sediment prefilter to protect 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 property’s plumbing and water use.
