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 much like calcium, it moves with groundwater and can enter Broad Branch homes through the main service line. You won’t detect it by taste, smell, or color — the only reliable way to find it is with water testing that includes radionuclides.
In Broad Branch households, water is used for drinking, cooking, ice, bathing and brushing teeth, so any concern about strontium-90 affects daily life throughout the house. If testing indicates elevated levels, the aim is to treat water at the point it enters your home so every tap is covered. Point-of-use filters protect a single faucet, but a correctly chosen whole-house system gives consistent protection across all fixtures in your Broad Branch home.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same exchange process can capture positively charged contaminants like strontium, so installing an ion exchange softener at the main line provides treatment for all water entering your Broad Branch residence.
To be effective for Broad Branch homes, an ion exchange softener should be sized to your household’s water use and the mineral content of your supply. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues removing strontium, and routine maintenance preserves performance. Pairing the softener with a prefilter helps keep sediment off the media. Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a whole-house configuration that targets strontium-90 without overcomplicating the system.
