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 behaves like calcium, it moves with groundwater and can enter a Gritney home through the main service line. You won’t detect it by taste, smell, or sight—the only reliable way to know is with radiological water testing targeted at strontium and related radionuclides.
In Gritney households the water used for drinking, cooking, making ice, bathing and brushing teeth is shared across fixtures, so concerns about strontium-90 often focus on whole-home exposure. If testing indicates elevated levels, reducing contact starts by treating water at the point it enters the house so every tap is covered. Faucet-level filters protect a single outlet, but a properly selected whole-house system gives consistent protection for showers, toilets, laundry and kitchen use.
A whole-house water softener operating by ion exchange is frequently the single-filter option most effective for removing strontium-90 because the softener 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 at the entry point can reduce chemical strontium—including strontium-90—throughout a Gritney home.
To perform well for a Gritney residence, an ion exchange softener should be sized for your household’s water use and total mineral content. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues to remove strontium, and routine maintenance plus good prefiltration helps prevent sediment from shortening media life.
