Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can occur in drinking water at very low concentrations. Because it behaves much like calcium, it can dissolve into groundwater and travel through pipes into a Farm Hill household via the main service line. There’s no reliable taste, smell, or color to warn you it’s present, so the only way to know is by testing specifically for radionuclides.
In Farm Hill homes, water is used for cooking, making ice, bathing and brushing teeth, so concerns about strontium-90 often relate to everyday exposure throughout the house. If your water test shows elevated results, the most effective response is treating water at the point it enters your home so every faucet and fixture is covered. Point-of-use filters can protect a single sink or fridge, but a whole-house system gives continuous protection across daily water use.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is commonly the best single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin exchanges dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same exchange process can capture other positively charged ions like strontium, so installing an appropriately sized ion exchange softener at the Farm Hill service entry can reduce the contaminant as water is distributed throughout the home.
To be effective in Farm Hill, an ion exchange softener needs correct sizing for your household’s water usage and mineral load, and it requires routine regeneration with salt to refresh the resin’s capacity to remove strontium. Adding a prefilter helps keep sediment from fouling the media and extends system life. Mr. Pure Water can review your radionuclide test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup that targets strontium-90 while keeping the system straightforward and reliable.
