Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can occur in water at very low concentrations. Because it behaves much like calcium, it moves with groundwater and may enter a Carlton home through the main supply line whether you’re on a municipal connection or a private well. It won’t change the taste, smell, or appearance of your water, so testing specifically for radionuclides is the only way to know if it’s present.
In Carlton households, water is used for more than drinking — cooking, making ice, bathing, and brushing teeth all rely on the same supply. If your water test indicates elevated strontium-90, the most effective strategy is to treat water at the point it enters the house so every faucet and shower is protected. Point-of-use devices can protect a single sink, but only a whole-house system gives consistent coverage across your home.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the best single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That exchange process can also capture positively charged contaminants like strontium, so an ion exchange softener treats the water as it enters a Carlton residence and provides treatment to every fixture.
To be effective in Carlton, an ion exchange softener should be sized for your household’s water use and overall mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin’s ability to remove strontium and routine maintenance helps performance remain reliable. Often a sediment prefilter is recommended to protect the softener’s media from particulates that shorten its life; Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a whole-house setup tailored to your needs.
