Radionuclides like uranium and radium pose serious challenges to water safety. Uranium exposure can cause kidney damage, while radium increases the risk of certain cancers over time. These radioactive contaminants can be present naturally in water sources depending on local geology, making untreated water a hidden health hazard.

The system that solves it

Our radionuclide-reduction system is a metered resin-tank setup designed for whole-house water treatment. It features a softener-style valve that automatically controls brine regeneration, ensuring efficient and consistent operation without manual intervention. The tank is constructed from corrosion-proof materials for long-lasting durability, even in demanding water conditions. This system is tailored to work with contaminant-selective ion-exchange resins that target specific radionuclides, providing a streamlined and effective solution that integrates seamlessly into your home’s water supply.

• Metered resin-tank system with softener-style valve
• Automatic brine regeneration for hands-free operation
• Corrosion-proof tank to withstand harsh water conditions
• Whole-house coverage, treating all water entering your home
• Compatibility with trusted metered valve brands like Fleck and Autotrol

What it does for your home

Installing this radionuclide-reduction system delivers multiple vital benefits, protecting your family’s health and enhancing water quality throughout your home:

• Effectively reduces uranium levels to protect kidney function
• Significantly lowers radium concentrations to reduce long-term cancer risk
• Provides comprehensive treatment for all household water outlets
• Eliminates the need for frequent manual regeneration with automatic brining
• Operates reliably with durable, corrosion-resistant components
• Essential for homes located in regions with radionuclide-prone geology

By addressing these contaminants at the source, the system safeguards your home’s water supply and contributes to healthier living conditions over the years.

Why it works

This water treatment system employs a combination of specialized resins tailored to remove the distinct types of radionuclides found in water. Uranium exists as an anion—a negatively charged ion—which is captured by an anion-exchange resin inside the tank. Meanwhile, radium is a positively charged ion, or cation, and is effectively reduced by a softening resin designed for cation exchange. Together, this dual-resin approach targets both uranium and radium, allowing the system to remove these harmful elements through ion exchange processes that trap radionuclides on the resin media, preventing them from passing through to your taps. The automatic regeneration cycle flushes and renews the resin's capacity to maintain ongoing effectiveness without manual maintenance.

Sizing it right

Proper sizing of your radionuclide-reduction system depends on your household water usage, flow rates, and the specific levels of uranium and radium present in your source water. Selecting the correct tank size and resin volume ensures efficient contaminant removal while maintaining adequate water pressure for your home. We offer free sizing assistance to help you choose a system perfectly matched to your water quality and household needs, maximizing performance and longevity.

Common questions

Q? How often does the system need regeneration?

A regeneration cycle is triggered automatically based on water usage thanks to the metered valve, so you don’t need to worry about manually initiating the process. This ensures the resin media remains effective at removing radionuclides without interruption.

Q? Will this system remove other contaminants besides uranium and radium?

A while the primary design targets uranium and radium, the ion-exchange resins may also reduce other ions depending on their charge and affinity. However, this system is specifically optimized for radionuclide reduction and may not address all water quality issues.

Q? Is the system suitable for all household sizes?

A Yes, the system can be sized appropriately for any household, from small homes to larger families. We recommend contacting us for free sizing assistance to ensure the system meets your flow and water treatment needs precisely.
