Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can exist in water at very low concentrations. Because it acts much like calcium, it can dissolve into groundwater and travel with the main supply that feeds a house, reaching faucets in Alpine without any change in taste, smell, or appearance. The only dependable way to know whether it’s present is a lab test targeted at radionuclides rather than relying on sensory clues.
In Alpine households, water is used for drinking, cooking, making ice, bathing and oral care — uses where any contaminant in the supply could matter. Point-of-use filters may treat a single sink or refrigerator, but they leave the rest of the home unprotected. If testing shows elevated strontium-90, installing a whole-house system at the point the water enters your property provides uniform treatment for every tap and everyday activity.
A whole-house water softener that uses ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. Since strontium is chemically similar to other positively charged minerals, it can be captured by the exchange process inside the tank. For Alpine homeowners seeking entry-point treatment, an ion exchange softener is a practical choice to address strontium alongside routine hardness management.
To be effective in Alpine, an ion exchange softener should be sized for your household’s flow and overall mineral load, and it needs regular regeneration with salt to restore the resin’s capacity to remove strontium. Routine maintenance and good prefiltration help prevent sediment from fouling the media and extending service life. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup that targets Strontium-90 without unnecessary complexity.
