Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can be present at very low concentrations in water. Because it behaves much like calcium, it can dissolve into groundwater and travel through distribution lines to reach a home’s main water supply. There’s no dependable taste, smell, or color to warn Cody residents that it’s present, so the only reliable way to know is through targeted water testing for radionuclides.
In Cody households, water is used for much more than drinking—cooking, ice, bathing and brushing teeth all bring potential exposure. If test results show elevated strontium-90, the most effective strategy is to treat water at the point it enters the house so every tap is protected. Point-of-use filters can improve one faucet, but they don’t cover showers or laundry; a correctly chosen whole-house system gives consistent treatment across daily water use throughout your Cody home.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the single most effective filter for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. Because strontium is chemically similar to calcium, it can be captured by that same exchange process, making an ion exchange softener a practical option when you want treatment at the home’s entry point in Cody.
To be effective in a Cody home, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s water usage and overall hardness so the resin can perform reliably. Routine regeneration with salt restores the media’s capacity to remove strontium over time, and basic maintenance helps sustain performance. Often, adding a prefilter to remove sediment protects the resin and extends service life—Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results and recommend a whole-house setup that addresses strontium-90 without unnecessary complexity.
