Including filter system and high-performance Radium filter.
Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal that can enter groundwater and, in some places, your tap water without any taste, smell, or visible signs. That’s why testing is the only reliable way for The Hammocks homeowners to know whether radium is present. You may see it reported as radium-226 or radium-228 on lab results. When residents want protection for every faucet—from showers to the kitchen—they often choose a system that treats the whole house rather than a single point of use.
Because radium dissolves from certain rocks and soils, its occurrence depends on local geology more than household behavior. In Miami-Dade County’s hard municipal water, radium can move with other dissolved minerals and hardness even when the water looks clear. If you’re worried about long-term exposure, treating water where it enters your home in The Hammocks keeps drinking, cooking, and bathing water consistent and reduces radium throughout your plumbing.
For whole-house radium reduction, an ion exchange water softener is often the most effective single-filter option. These systems use resin beads that exchange sodium or potassium for certain dissolved minerals, and radium can be removed in that same exchange process. When radium is dissolved rather than bound to sediment, an ion exchange softener installed on the main line treats all incoming water so every tap in your The Hammocks home gets the same protection.
Ion exchange systems have limited capacity, so correct sizing and routine maintenance are essential for dependable radium removal in The Hammocks. The resin requires regular regeneration and system settings should reflect your hard Miami-Dade water and household demand so the media doesn’t exhaust prematurely. Prefiltration for sediment is often recommended to protect the resin and preserve flow. Mr. Pure Water can help pick, size, and install a whole-house ion exchange solution that targets radium-226 and radium-228 and fits your home’s plumbing.
