Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can occur at very low concentrations in water. Because it behaves similarly to calcium, it can stay dissolved in groundwater and enter a home through the main supply line. There’s no reliable taste, smell, or color to warn Baker homeowners if it’s present, so the only way to know is with water testing that includes radionuclides.
In Baker households, water is used for everything from cooking and ice to bathing and brushing teeth, so concerns about strontium-90 often relate to everyday exposure. If testing reveals higher-than-desired levels, the best strategy is to treat water at the point it enters the house so every faucet and shower is covered. Point-of-use devices can protect a single tap, but a whole-house system gives consistent protection for the whole home.
A whole-house water softener is often the single most effective filter type for reducing strontium-90 because it uses ion exchange. The resin bed swaps certain dissolved ions in your water for sodium or potassium and can 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 softener a practical choice for treating Baker’s incoming water at the entry point.
To be effective for Baker homes, an ion exchange softener should be sized to your household’s water use and overall mineral content. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues to remove strontium, and routine maintenance keeps the system performing. Often a good prefilter is recommended to protect the resin from sediment. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup that targets strontium-90 without making the system more complicated than it needs to be.
