Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can travel with groundwater and, at very low concentrations, enter a home through the main water line. Because it acts much like calcium, it can dissolve in water and move unseen; there’s no reliable taste, smell, or color to give it away. The only way to know whether it’s present in your Craggs water is to have a lab test for radionuclides.
In Craggs homes, water is part of daily life — for drinking, cooking, bathing, and brushing teeth — so any contaminant that shows up in testing is a whole-house concern. Point-of-use filters can protect a single faucet, but they leave the rest of the house exposed. If your water tests indicate elevated strontium-90, the practical approach is to treat the water at the entry point so every fixture and everyday use is covered consistently.
When a single whole-house filter is the goal, a water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective option for reducing strontium-90. The resin in a softener swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium and can also capture other positively charged contaminants like strontium. Because strontium-90 is chemically strontium, it can be reduced by the same exchange process, making an ion exchange softener a practical entry-point treatment for Craggs properties.
For reliable performance in Craggs, an ion exchange softener needs to be sized to your household’s water use and the mineral content of your supply. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues to remove strontium over time, and routine maintenance keeps the system working well. Prefiltration to remove sediment often extends resin life, and Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup tailored to your home.
