Product Description

Radium and uranium are naturally occurring radioactive elements that can enter groundwater through erosion of bedrock and soil, particularly in areas with high natural deposits. Neither is detectable by taste, smell, or sight. Radium dissolves into groundwater as it moves through certain rock formations; uranium enters water through natural leaching or activities such as mining or industrial discharge. Both are radioactive and are associated with increased cancer and kidney damage risk with long-term consumption. The EPA has set maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) of 5 pCi/L for combined radium-226 and radium-228, and 30 µg/L for uranium.

This system is designed to target and reduce radium and uranium levels in water for households and communities with naturally high concentrations or potential industrial contamination.

Additional Product Options

  • 12 GPM UV Water Sterilizer — targets bacteria, viruses, algae, and protozoa; UV treatment disinfects without retention tanks or added chemicals
  • Leak Detector Valve — detects leaks in the filter system and shuts off water supply to prevent flooding
  • Vacuum Breaker — recommended upstream of the filter system as protection against negative pressure in the water line
  • Metered Valve — runs backwashing based on gallons used (standard valve runs on a set day schedule instead)
  • Oxidation System — uses ozone for water oxidation

Important to Know
Manufacturer notes that stainless steel tanks may develop pinholes or rust in high-humidity environments, where salt is present, or if condensation isn't routinely wiped down. A fiberglass tank is recommended if these conditions apply or routine maintenance isn't feasible.

Speak with a product specialist to determine if dosing or regeneration is needed for your water.
