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 without any noticeable smell, taste, or color. The same substance is sometimes reported as radium-226 or radium-228 on water analyses, so those names are worth watching for. Because you can’t detect it by senses alone, testing is the most reliable way for Washington Park homeowners to know what’s in their tap water, and many choose whole-house protection rather than treating a single faucet.
Radium dissolves from certain rock and soil types as water moves through local geology, so its presence reflects regional conditions more than household habits. In Broward County, where Washington Park sits, municipal water is commonly hard and carries dissolved minerals that can travel with contaminants like radium even when water appears clear. If long-term exposure is a worry, installing treatment where water enters the property treats every fixture — from showers near Fort Lauderdale Beach to the kitchen — and keeps water consistent for drinking, cooking, and bathing.
At the whole-house level, an ion exchange water softener is often the most effective single-filter option for reducing radium. These systems use resin beads to swap sodium or potassium ions for dissolved minerals in the water, and that same process can capture radium when it’s present in dissolved form. Placed on the home’s main line, an ion exchange softener treats all incoming water in Washington Park homes, providing uniform protection across plumbing and appliances.
Because ion exchange media has limited capacity, correct sizing and routine maintenance are essential to keep radium removal reliable. The resin needs periodic regeneration, and system settings should reflect your household demand and water chemistry — especially in hard-water areas like Washington Park — so the media doesn’t exhaust prematurely. Many homeowners also add a sediment prefilter to protect the resin and maintain steady flow. Mr. Pure Water can help you choose and install a whole-house ion exchange solution that targets radium-226 and radium-228 while matching your plumbing and usage patterns.
