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 in water, it can dissolve into groundwater and enter your Bascom home through the main service line. You won’t detect it by taste, smell, or sight — the only reliable way to know if it’s present is with water testing that looks specifically for radionuclides.
In Bascom households, water is used for drinking, cooking, ice, bathing and brushing teeth, so any contaminant shown by testing could reach those everyday activities. If test results indicate elevated strontium-90, the safest plan is to treat water at the point it enters your home so every faucet and fixture is covered. Point-of-use devices can protect a single tap, but they won’t treat showers or the washing machine; a correctly chosen whole-house system gives consistent protection across the house.
For reducing strontium-90 throughout a house, a whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter option. The resin in these systems swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium and can also capture positively charged contaminants like strontium. Because strontium-90 is chemically strontium, it can be reduced by that same exchange process, making an ion exchange softener a practical entry-point treatment for Bascom homes.
An ion exchange softener must be sized to your household’s daily water use and the overall mineral load to perform well in a Bascom home. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues to remove strontium, and routine maintenance keeps the system reliable. In many installations, adding prefiltration helps protect the resin from sediment that could shorten its life. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup tailored to your needs.
