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 mimics calcium chemically, it can dissolve in groundwater and travel into homes through the main service line. There’s no reliable taste, smell, or color to reveal its presence, so the only way for Campton homeowners to know whether it’s in their water is through targeted radionuclide testing.
In Campton households, tap water is used for drinking, cooking, making ice, bathing, and dental care — so when strontium-90 shows up on a test, homeowners often want treatment that covers every use. Point-of-use devices can protect a single faucet but won’t address water used throughout the house. A correctly chosen whole-house system treats water at the entry point and provides more consistent protection for everyday activities across your entire home.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is frequently the best single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same exchange process can also remove positively charged contaminants like strontium, so an ion exchange softener can lower levels as water enters your Campton home. For many homeowners, this makes a softener a practical way to treat the entire plumbing system from the point of entry.
To be effective in Campton, an ion exchange softener needs to be sized for your household’s daily water use and the mineral content of your supply. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues to capture strontium, and routine maintenance helps sustain performance. Prefiltration is often recommended to keep sediment from fouling the media. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup tuned to address strontium-90 without adding unnecessary complexity.
