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 enter a residence through the main supply line without any noticeable taste, smell, or color to warn you. The only reliable way for Forest Highlands homeowners to know whether it’s present is through targeted water testing for radionuclides.
In Forest Highlands, water is used for drinking, cooking, bathing and more, so concerns about strontium-90 often focus on whole-house exposure rather than a single faucet. Point-of-use filters can treat one sink or refrigerator, but they won’t protect showers, laundry, or outdoor spigots. If tests show elevated levels, installing treatment at the point where water enters the home gives consistent protection across everyday uses.
A whole-house water softener is frequently the most effective single-filter option for removing strontium-90 because it relies on ion exchange. The softener’s resin 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 Forest Highlands homes.
For reliable performance in Forest Highlands households, an ion exchange softener must be sized to your family’s water demand and the local mineral content. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues removing strontium, and routine maintenance helps sustain that performance. Pairing the softener with appropriate prefiltration can protect the media from sediment and extend its life; Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a whole-house setup that targets strontium-90 without unnecessary complexity.
