Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can appear in water at very low concentrations. Because it mirrors calcium in how it travels, it can dissolve in groundwater and enter a house through the main supply line without changing the water’s taste, odor, or appearance. In Frink, the only reliable way to know whether your water contains strontium-90 is to have a lab perform radionuclide-focused testing.
In Frink households, water is used for more than drinking — cooking, making ice, bathing, and brushing teeth all rely on the same supply. If your water test shows elevated strontium-90, the safest approach is to treat the water at the point it enters your home so every tap is covered. Point-of-use devices protect a single fixture, but a correctly chosen whole-house system delivers consistent protection throughout your Frink home.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because its resin swaps dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. Since strontium behaves like other positively charged ions, the exchange process can reduce chemically identical strontium in the water. For many Frink homes, an ion exchange softener placed at the main line provides practical, housewide treatment.
To perform well in a Frink residence, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s flow and mineral load, and it requires regular regeneration with salt to refresh the resin’s capacity to remove strontium. Routine maintenance and good prefiltration help prevent sediment from shortening the media’s life. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup that targets strontium-90 without adding unnecessary complexity.
