Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can occur in water at very low concentrations. Because it behaves much like calcium in nature, it can dissolve into groundwater and travel through the main line into a Bailey home without any change in taste, smell, or appearance to warn you. The only reliable way to know whether it’s present is to have your water tested specifically for radionuclides.
In Bailey households, water is used for more than drinking — cooking, making ice, bathing, and brushing teeth all use the same supply. While a point-of-use filter can protect a single faucet, it won’t safeguard showers, washing machines, or outdoor hoses. If testing shows elevated strontium-90, treating water at the main entry with a whole-house system gives consistent coverage across every fixture and daily activity in your home.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter choice for reducing strontium-90 because the resin exchanges dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same exchange process can capture positively charged contaminants like strontium, so installing an ion exchange softener at the Bailey service entry point provides treatment for all indoor water uses.
To perform well in a Bailey home, an ion exchange softener should be sized to your household water demands and the mineral content of your supply. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin’s ability to remove strontium, and routine maintenance helps preserve long-term performance. Prefiltration can also protect the media from sediment that shortens its life; Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a whole-house setup tailored to Bailey homes that targets strontium-90 without unnecessary complexity.
