Including filter system and high-performance Radium filter.
Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal that can appear in groundwater and sometimes in household drinking water. Because you can’t see, taste, or smell it, the only way to know if it’s present is through testing. Lab reports may list it as radium-226 or radium-228. When homeowners in Verona Walk want protection for every faucet — not just the kitchen — they often choose whole-house treatment to address any radium that might be entering their plumbing.
Radium gets into water as it moves through certain rock and soil, so local geology is a big factor in whether it’s present. In the Naples/Collier County area, our hard water and dissolved mineral content can travel alongside contaminants, sometimes without changing the water’s clarity. If you’re thinking about long-term exposure, treating water where it enters your Verona Walk home ensures consistent reduction across drinking, cooking, and bathing water throughout the house.
An ion exchange water softener is often the single-filter style that works best for whole-house radium reduction. These systems use resin beads to exchange sodium or potassium ions for certain dissolved minerals, and radium can be removed during that same process. For dissolved radium — rather than particles attached to sediment — an ion exchange softener installed on the main line treats all incoming water so every tap in your Verona Walk home benefits.
Because ion exchange resin has limited capacity, correct sizing and routine maintenance are essential to keep radium removal reliable. The media must be regenerated on a schedule that fits your household demand and the area's hard water conditions, and many Verona Walk homes also gain from sediment prefiltration to protect the resin and maintain steady flow. Mr. Pure Water can help size, install, and configure a whole-house ion exchange system that targets radium-226 and radium-228 while working with your plumbing and water use patterns.
