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 behaves like calcium, it travels with groundwater and can enter a Haverhill home through the main service line. You won’t detect it by taste, smell, or sight, so the only reliable way to know if it’s present is a lab test that looks for radionuclides.
In Haverhill households, water is used for cooking, ice, bathing and dental hygiene, so any contaminant found in testing can affect everyday life. Point-of-use devices protect a single faucet, but they leave the rest of the house unprotected. For broad coverage across showers, appliances and all taps in Palm Beach County homes, a correctly selected whole-house system treats water at the entry point and delivers consistent protection throughout the house.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the single most effective filter choice for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. Since strontium is chemically similar to calcium, it can be captured by that exchange process. For many homeowners in Haverhill and nearby communities such as West Palm Beach and Lake Worth Beach, an ion exchange softener provides practical treatment at the point where water enters the home.
To perform reliably in Haverhill’s typically hard, mineral-rich water, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s flow and mineral load and be regenerated on a regular schedule. Routine maintenance and salt replenishment keep the resin effective at removing strontium over time, and a prefilter helps protect the media from sediment that can reduce lifespan. Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a whole-house setup that targets strontium-90 without adding unnecessary complexity.
