Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive variety of strontium that can appear in water at very low concentrations. Because it acts much like calcium, it can dissolve into groundwater and travel into homes through the main service line. It has no dependable taste, smell, or color to give homeowners in Cox a warning, so the only reliable way to find it is through laboratory testing that targets radionuclides.
Residents of Cox use tap water for everything from cooking and making ice to bathing and brushing teeth, so concerns about strontium-90 often come up when discussing household water safety. If tests indicate elevated levels, the best strategy is to treat water at the point where it enters the house so every fixture gets protection. Single faucet, point-of-use filters can help in one location, but they won’t safeguard the whole home— a whole-house system gives consistent coverage across daily uses throughout Cox homes.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is frequently the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same exchange process can capture positively charged contaminants like strontium; since strontium-90 is chemically strontium, it can be reduced by this mechanism. For homeowners in Cox who want treatment at the entry point, an ion exchange softener is a practical, widely used choice.
To perform properly, an ion exchange softener must be sized to your household’s water use and the water’s overall mineral content. Routine regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues removing strontium over time, and regular maintenance preserves consistent performance. Often a softener paired with prefiltration helps protect the media from sediment that can shorten its lifespan. Mr. Pure Water can review your Cox water test results and recommend a whole-house configuration that targets strontium-90 without unnecessary complexity.
