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 travel with groundwater and enter a house through the main service line without changing the water’s taste, smell, or appearance. The only reliable way to know whether it’s present is through specific radionuclide testing—something we recommend for Frog City homeowners who want certainty about their water.
In Frog City households, water is used for more than drinking—cooking, ice, bathing and oral hygiene are all daily exposures. While a point-of-use filter can protect a single sink or pitcher, it won’t treat water used for showers, laundry or outdoor taps. If testing identifies elevated strontium-90, the best approach is treating water at the entry point so every fixture in the home receives the same protection and you reduce overall household exposure.
For whole-home treatment, a conventional ion exchange water softener is often the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because it swaps dissolved ions on a resin bed. The softener’s resin replaces certain positively charged ions in the water with sodium or potassium and can also capture other positively charged contaminants, including strontium. Installed at the main line into your Frog City home, an ion exchange softener treats water before it reaches any faucet or appliance.
To perform reliably in a Frog City residence, an ion exchange softener should be sized to your household’s water usage and overall mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt (or potassium) restores the resin’s ability to remove strontium over time, and routine maintenance preserves long-term performance. Prefiltration to remove sediment can extend media life, and Mr. Pure Water can review your radionuclide test results and recommend a properly configured whole-house system that targets strontium-90 without adding unnecessary complexity.
