Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can dissolve into groundwater and move with the same pathways as calcium. Because it behaves like calcium, it can travel through distribution lines and enter a home via the main water supply without any noticeable taste, smell, or color to give it away. In Capps, the only dependable way to know whether your household water contains strontium-90 is to have a laboratory radionuclide test targeted at this contaminant.
In Capps households, water is used for more than drinking — it’s for cooking, making ice, bathing and brushing teeth — so testing that shows elevated strontium-90 calls for treatment at the point where water enters the house. Single faucet or point-of-use filters protect only one outlet; they won’t treat water used for showers, laundry or the whole plumbing system. A correctly sized whole-house system delivers consistent treatment to every fixture, giving broader protection across typical daily uses.
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 ion exchange process can also capture positively charged contaminants like strontium; since strontium-90 is chemically strontium, it can be reduced by the same mechanism. For many Capps homes seeking entry-point treatment, an ion exchange softener is a practical and straightforward choice.
To perform reliably in a Capps home, an ion exchange softener should be sized to your household’s water usage and the water’s mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin’s capacity to remove strontium, and routine maintenance helps maintain consistent performance. Prefiltration to remove sediment often protects the resin and extends system life. Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a whole-house configuration that targets strontium-90 while keeping the system simple and effective.
