Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can occur in water at trace levels and moves much like calcium through groundwater and distribution lines. Because it mimics calcium, it can dissolve and travel into a house through the main service line without any taste, smell, or visible sign to warn you. The only reliable way for Altha homeowners to know whether it’s present is to have water tested specifically for radionuclides.
In Altha households the water you use for drinking and cooking is also what you use for bathing, making ice, and brushing teeth, so concern about strontium-90 often centers on whole-home exposure. If testing shows elevated levels, the best approach is treatment at the point where water enters the house so every faucet and appliance is protected. Point-of-use devices protect a single tap, but a whole-house system gives consistent coverage across daily uses in your home.
A whole-house water softener that uses ion exchange is typically the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. Since strontium is chemically similar to calcium, it can be captured by the same exchange process, making an ion exchange softener a practical choice for treatment at your Altha service entry point.
To keep an ion exchange softener performing for an Altha home, it should be sized to your household’s water usage and mineral levels, and the resin must be regenerated regularly with salt. Routine maintenance preserves the system’s ability to reduce strontium over time, and prefiltration can protect the media from sediment that shortens its life. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup tailored to reduce strontium-90 while fitting your home’s needs.
