Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can occur in water at very low concentrations. Because it mimics calcium chemically, it can dissolve into groundwater and enter a house through the main supply line without changing taste, smell, or appearance. The only reliable way for Franjo homeowners to know whether it’s present is to have water tested specifically for radionuclides.
Water is used for cooking, ice, bathing and brushing teeth, so concerns about strontium-90 often relate to everyday household exposure. If testing in or near Franjo shows elevated levels, treating water at the point it enters the home reduces exposure across all fixtures. Point-of-use devices protect a single tap, but they won’t cover showers, laundry, or outdoor hose outlets—so a whole-house solution is the best way to ensure consistent protection for routine water use.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is frequently the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin exchanges dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same exchange process can capture positively charged contaminants like strontium, so installing an ion exchange softener at the main line gives treatment at every fixture in a Franjo home. This makes an entry-point softener a practical choice when you want broad coverage without multiple point-of-use units.
To be effective in Franjo, an ion exchange softener should be sized for your household’s water use and the local mineral load. Regular salt regeneration restores the resin’s capacity to continue removing strontium, and routine maintenance preserves performance. Prefiltration can help protect the media from sediment that shortens life. Mr. Pure Water can review your radionuclide test results and recommend a whole-house softener configuration tailored to reduce strontium-90 while keeping the system straightforward and reliable.
