Including filter system and high-performance Radium filter.
Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal that can enter groundwater and, in some places, show up in household drinking water. Because you can’t see, smell, or taste radium, the only way to know if it’s present is through testing. You may also find it listed on lab reports or utility documents as radium-226 or radium-228. Many Westwood Lakes homeowners who want protection beyond a single faucet choose treatment that covers the entire house so every tap is treated the same.
Radium commonly dissolves into water as it passes through certain rock and soil, so its occurrence depends on local geology rather than daily household activity. It can travel with other dissolved minerals and often appears alongside the hardness that Miami-area municipal water is known for, even when the water looks clear. If long-term exposure is a concern in your Westwood Lakes home, treating water at the point it enters the house with a whole-house system helps protect drinking, cooking, and bathing water throughout your plumbing.
For whole-house radium reduction, an ion exchange water softener is commonly the most effective single-filter choice. These systems use resin beads that exchange sodium or potassium ions for certain dissolved minerals, and radium can be removed through that same ion-exchange process. When radium is dissolved rather than attached to sediment, an ion exchange softener installed on the main service line treats all incoming water so every faucet in your Westwood Lakes home receives the same protection.
An ion exchange system has limited capacity, so correct sizing and routine maintenance are essential for dependable radium removal. The resin requires periodic regeneration, and settings should be matched to your water chemistry, household demand, and the hard water characteristics common in the Miami-Dade area to avoid early exhaustion. Prefiltration for sediment can protect the resin and preserve flow. Mr. Pure Water can help Westwood Lakes homeowners choose and install a whole-house ion exchange system that targets radium-226 and radium-228 and fits your plumbing layout.
