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. Because it behaves much like calcium, it can move with groundwater and enter Bessemer houses through the main water line, and you won’t be able to detect it by taste, smell, or sight. The only reliable way to know whether it’s present is through water testing that specifically looks for radionuclides.
In Bessemer homes, water is part of daily life—from cooking and ice to showers and brushing teeth—so concerns about strontium-90 often focus on whole-house exposure. If your testing shows elevated levels, the aim is to treat water at the point it enters your house so every faucet and appliance is covered. Point-of-use devices protect a single outlet, but a whole-house system gives consistent protection across the household.
A whole-house water softener is often the most effective single-filter choice for reducing strontium-90 because it uses ion exchange. The resin beads in the softener swap certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium and can capture other positively charged contaminants like strontium. Because strontium-90 is chemically strontium, it can be reduced by that exchange process, making an ion exchange softener a practical entry-point treatment for Bessemer properties.
To perform well in the Tampa Bay area, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s water use and the hard water common to Bessemer and Hillsborough County. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues to remove strontium, and routine maintenance prevents loss of performance. Pairing the softener with good prefiltration also helps protect the media from sediment and extends service life; Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend the right whole-house setup for your home.
