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 behaves much like calcium chemically, it can dissolve into groundwater and travel through pipes to reach a Bratt home via the main supply. There’s no reliable taste, smell, or color to signal its presence, so the only way to know is through targeted water testing for radionuclides.
In Bratt households, water is used for drinking, cooking, making ice, bathing, and oral hygiene—so any contaminant found in tests can affect many daily activities. Point-of-use filters can protect a single faucet, but they won’t treat showers, laundry, or outdoor spigots. If your test shows elevated strontium-90, the most reliable strategy is treatment at the entry point so every fixture in your Bratt home receives the same protection.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter choice for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That ion exchange process can also capture positively charged contaminants like strontium, so a properly configured softener can reduce chemically identical strontium in your Bratt water when installed at the home’s point of entry.
To be effective for a Bratt residence, an ion exchange softener must be sized to your household’s water use and the water’s overall mineral content. Regular salt-based regeneration restores the resin so it continues removing strontium, and routine maintenance preserves performance. Pairing the softener with a quality prefilter helps protect the media from sediment, and Mr. Pure Water can review your test results to recommend a whole-house setup that targets strontium-90 without adding unnecessary complexity.
