Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can occur at very low levels in water. Because it behaves like calcium, it travels with groundwater and can enter a house through the main supply line without any change in taste, smell, or appearance to warn you. The only reliable way to know whether it’s present in your Betts water is through targeted water testing for radionuclides.
In Betts households, water is used for cooking, making ice, bathing, and brushing teeth, so any contaminant in the supply matters throughout the home. Point-of-use devices can protect a single faucet, but they won’t treat the water flowing to showers, appliances, or outdoor taps. If testing shows elevated strontium-90, treating water at the entry point with a correctly chosen whole-house system gives consistent protection for all daily uses.
For reducing strontium-90, a whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter option. The resin in the tank swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium and can also remove other positively charged contaminants like strontium; because strontium-90 is chemically strontium, it’s addressed by the same exchange process. For Betts homeowners wanting treatment at the main line, an ion exchange softener is a practical, entry-point solution.
An ion exchange softener must be sized to your household’s water use and the overall mineral profile to perform well in Betts. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues removing strontium, and routine maintenance preserves long-term effectiveness. Often, adding quality prefiltration protects the media from sediment that can shorten its life. Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup tailored to your Betts home to target strontium-90 without unnecessary complexity.
