Including filter system and high-performance Radium filter.
Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal that can enter groundwater and, in some places, residential taps. Because you can’t see, smell, or taste radium, the only reliable way to know if it’s in your water is through testing. Lab reports may list it as radium-226 or radium-228. Many Winter Garden homeowners who want protection throughout their houses choose treatments that work at the main line so every faucet — from the kitchen to baths after a day at the West Orange Trail — is covered.
Radium can dissolve into water as it moves through certain rock and soil, so whether it’s present depends on local geology more than household behavior. Because it acts like other dissolved minerals, radium can travel with hardness and other dissolved solids even when water appears clear. In Winter Garden and the broader Orange County area, where water is commonly hard, treating water at the point it enters the house gives ongoing protection for drinking, cooking, and bathing throughout your plumbing system.
When the goal is household-wide radium reduction, an ion exchange water softener is often 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 captured in that same process. This approach works well when radium is dissolved rather than bound to sediment; installed on the main line, it treats all incoming water so every tap in your Winter Garden home benefits.
Because ion exchange systems have limited capacity, correct sizing and routine maintenance are essential to maintain radium removal. The resin needs regular regeneration, and settings should be matched to your water chemistry and household demand to avoid early exhaustion—important in areas with hard water like Winter Garden. Many homes also add a sediment prefilter to protect the resin and preserve flow. Mr. Pure Water can help choose and install a whole-house ion exchange solution that targets radium-226 and radium-228 while fitting your plumbing and daily water use.
