Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can appear in water at trace levels. Because it acts much like calcium, it can stay dissolved in groundwater and enter a Buckhorn home through the main service line. You won’t be able to see, taste, or smell it, so the only reliable way to know if it’s present is a water test that includes radionuclides.
Around the house, strontium-90 can be in water used for cooking, making ice, bathing, and brushing teeth — everyday uses common to Buckhorn homeowners. If your test shows elevated levels, the aim is to reduce exposure by treating water at the point it enters the house so every tap is covered. Single faucet point-of-use filters protect only that fixture; a properly chosen whole-house system delivers consistent treatment across all your household water needs.
When removing strontium-90, a whole-house water softener is often the most effective single-filter option because it operates by ion exchange. The resin in the tank swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium and can also capture other positively charged contaminants like strontium. Because strontium-90 is chemically strontium, it can be reduced by that same exchange process, making an ion exchange softener a practical choice for entry-point treatment in Buckhorn homes.
To perform well in Buckhorn, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s daily water use and overall mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues to remove strontium, and routine maintenance keeps the system reliable. Often a quality prefilter is added to protect the resin from sediment and extend its life. Mr. Pure Water can look over your test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup that targets strontium-90 without unnecessary complexity.
