Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can occur at trace levels in groundwater. Because it acts like calcium, it moves with mineral-rich groundwater and can enter a house through the main water line without any taste, smell, or visible change. In Brighton — where many properties depend on groundwater — the only reliable way to know if strontium-90 is present is through targeted radionuclide water testing.
When families in Brighton consider water safety, strontium-90 is a concern because the water you use for drinking, cooking, bathing, making ice, and brushing teeth all share the same supply. If tests show higher levels, the best strategy is to treat water at the point it enters the home so every fixture is protected. While point-of-use filters help at a single sink, a whole-house system gives consistent coverage across showers, laundry, and every tap used in daily life.
A whole-house water softener that uses ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter choice for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same exchange process can capture positively charged contaminants like strontium, so a properly selected softener treats the water at the home’s entry point and helps lower exposure throughout the house.
To be effective in Brighton’s typically hard, mineral-rich groundwater, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s water use and mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt rejuvenates the resin so it continues to remove strontium, and routine maintenance prevents performance drop-off. Pairing the softener with good prefiltration also protects the media from sediment that can shorten its life — Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend the right whole-house setup for your Brighton property.
