Radium is a naturally occurring radioactive element that can contaminate drinking water sources. Exposure to Radium can increase the risk of cancer and other health effects.

The maximum contaminant level (MCL) for Radium in drinking water is 5 picocuries per liter (pCi/L). If your water source exceeds this level, you may need to install a treatment system to remove Radium.

There are several treatment methods available for removing Radium from drinking water, including ion exchange, reverse osmosis, and lime softening. The most effective treatment method will depend on the specific characteristics of your water source. It is important to consult with a water treatment professional to determine the best treatment option for your needs.
