Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can occur in water at trace levels. Because it mimics calcium, it travels with groundwater and may enter a home through the main supply line without changing taste, smell, or appearance. The only reliable way for Gordon homeowners to know if it’s present is a laboratory water test that includes radionuclides.
Even if you only hear about strontium-90 in news or reports, it matters in everyday household uses like cooking, making ice, bathing, and brushing teeth. If testing for your Gordon property shows elevated results, the aim is to reduce exposure by treating water at the point it enters the building so every faucet and shower is covered. Point-of-use devices help at a single sink, but they won’t protect the whole house—an entry‑point system provides consistent treatment for everyday use.
A whole-house water softener that uses ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same exchange process can capture positively charged contaminants like strontium, so an ion exchange system installed at the home’s main line delivers treatment to every fixture and makes sense when customers want a single, practical solution.
To be effective for a Gordon household, an ion exchange softener should be sized to your family’s water use and to the mineral content of your water. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues to remove strontium, and routine maintenance plus proper prefiltration helps protect the media from sediment. Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup that addresses strontium-90 without unnecessary complexity.
