Eight reverse osmosis treatment systems were used in Sarasota County (Fla.) for the removal of Ra‐226 and other dissolved solids from water. Although the age, type, and performance of the eight systems varied, all systems lowered the Ra‐226 concentration in the raw water to below the EPA maximum contaminant level of 5 pCi/L.
