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 like calcium in water, it moves with groundwater and can enter a house through the main supply line without changing taste, smell, or appearance. In Bloxham, the only reliable way to know whether it’s present is a water test that includes radionuclide analysis.
Families use water in many ways around the home—drinking, cooking, making ice, bathing, and brushing teeth—so concerns about strontium-90 often extend beyond a single faucet. If testing finds elevated levels, the safest approach is to treat water at the point it enters your Bloxham home so every fixture gets protection. Point-of-use filters help at one sink but won’t cover showers or laundry; a correctly chosen whole-house system delivers consistent treatment throughout daily use.
When the goal is reducing strontium-90 throughout a house, a whole-house water softener that relies on ion exchange is often the single most effective filter option. The softener’s resin swaps certain dissolved ions in the water for sodium or potassium and can also remove positively charged contaminants like strontium. Because strontium-90 is chemically a form of strontium, it can be reduced by that same exchange process, making an ion exchange softener a practical entry-point treatment for Bloxham homes.
An ion exchange softener must be sized to your household’s water usage and mineral levels to perform well. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin’s ability to remove strontium over time, and routine maintenance helps sustain effectiveness. In many systems a prefilter protects the resin from sediment and extends media life. Mr. Pure Water can look over your Bloxham water test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup that targets strontium-90 effectively without adding unnecessary complexity.
