Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can occur at very low concentrations in water. Because it acts much like calcium, it can dissolve into groundwater and travel through the main service line into a house without changing taste, smell, or color. The only reliable way for Concord homeowners to know whether it’s present is to have your water tested specifically for radionuclides.
In Concord, families use water for cooking, making ice, bathing, and brushing teeth — so any contaminant in the supply can lead to daily exposure. While point-of-use devices can reduce levels at a single faucet, they won’t protect showers, laundry or outdoor taps. To limit exposure across all household uses, treating the water at the entry point with a whole-house system is the more complete approach.
When a single whole-house filter is the preferred option for removing strontium-90, an ion exchange water softener is often the most effective choice. The softener’s resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium and can also capture positively charged contaminants like strontium. Because strontium-90 is chemically strontium, it can be reduced by this exchange process, making an ion exchange softener a practical entry-point treatment for Concord homes.
For reliable performance in Concord, an ion exchange softener needs to be sized to your household water use and overall mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it can continue removing strontium, and routine maintenance helps sustain effectiveness. Often a good prefilter will protect the resin from sediment and extend media life; Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup that targets strontium-90 without making the system more complicated than it needs to be.
