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 like calcium chemically, it can travel with groundwater and enter a house through the main service line. There’s no reliable taste, smell, or visible clue that it’s present, so the only practical way to know is to have your water tested for radionuclides.
In Gifford homes people use water for many daily tasks — cooking, ice, bathing, and brushing teeth — so drinking-water concerns can affect the whole household. If testing flags elevated strontium-90, the sensible strategy is to treat water at the point it enters the home so every faucet and fixture is covered. Point-of-use filters can protect a single tap, but they won’t prevent exposure elsewhere; a correctly chosen whole-house system offers consistent protection for all water use around the house.
A whole-house water softener that uses ion exchange is often the most practical single-filter approach for reducing strontium-90, because the resin exchanges dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same exchange can capture positively charged contaminants like strontium, so an ion exchange softener treats the water right at the entry point to the home and can lower strontium concentrations as part of normal softening function.
To be effective in Gifford — where water is frequently hard and can carry more minerals and sediment — an ion exchange softener needs proper sizing for your household’s flow and mineral load, and routine regeneration with salt to refresh the resin. Good prefiltration helps protect the media from sediment that could shorten its life. Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a whole-house setup sized and configured to address strontium-90 while also handling the hard water common in Indian River County.
