Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can appear in water at very low concentrations. Because it acts much like calcium, it can dissolve into groundwater and travel through the main line into an Alma home without any taste, smell, or color to warn you. The only dependable way to know if it’s present is to have your water tested specifically for radionuclides.
In Alma households, water is part of daily life — cooking, making ice, bathing and brushing teeth — so concerns about strontium-90 are often about whole-home exposure. If testing indicates elevated levels, the best practice is to treat water at the entry point so all fixtures are protected. Point-of-use filters treat a single tap, but a whole-house system gives consistent coverage across every faucet and appliance used in the home.
A whole-house water softener is commonly the most effective single-filter solution for reducing strontium-90 because it relies on ion exchange. The resin in the softener tank swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium and can also capture other positively charged contaminants like strontium. Because strontium-90 is chemically strontium, it can be reduced by the same exchange process, making an ion exchange system a practical choice for treating Alma water at the point of entry.
To perform well in an Alma home, an ion exchange softener needs to be sized for your household’s water use and mineral levels. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues to remove strontium, and routine maintenance preserves performance. Prefiltration can also protect the media from sediment that shortens service life. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results and recommend a whole-house setup tuned to reduce strontium-90 without adding unnecessary complexity.
