Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that may be found in water at very low concentrations. Because it acts much like calcium, it can dissolve into and travel with groundwater before entering a Campbell home through the main service line. You won’t taste, smell, or see it, so the only reliable way to know whether it’s present is a targeted water test for radionuclides.
In Campbell households, water is used for much more than drinking — cooking, making ice, bathing, and brushing teeth all draw from the same supply. Point-of-use filters protect a single tap, but won’t treat water used throughout the house. If testing shows elevated strontium-90, treating water at the entry point with a whole-house system gives consistent protection across every fixture and daily use.
A whole-house water softener that uses ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter approach for removing strontium-90. The resin inside the softener swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium and can capture other positively charged contaminants, including strontium. Because strontium-90 is chemically strontium, it can be reduced by this exchange process, making an ion exchange softener a practical choice for treating water at your Campbell home’s main line.
To be effective in Campbell, an ion exchange softener should be sized for your household’s water use and overall mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues removing strontium, and routine maintenance helps sustain performance. Prefiltration can protect the media from sediment that might shorten its life; Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results and suggest a whole-house configuration that targets strontium-90 without making the system more complicated than it needs to be.
