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 behaves a lot like calcium, it dissolves and travels with groundwater and can enter a house through the main service line. There’s no reliable taste, smell, or color to warn you it’s present, so the only dependable way to find it is with a lab test that checks for radionuclides — something we recommend for Hen Scratch homeowners, especially after heavy seasonal rains or storm events.
In everyday life, water is more than drinking: it’s used for cooking, ice, bathing, and teeth brushing. A single faucet filter only protects one point of use, whereas a whole-house system treats water at the entry to the home and reduces exposure across all fixtures. For residents of Hen Scratch, where weather events can affect wells and systems, choosing treatment that covers the whole house offers steadier protection for routine household uses.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter choice 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 installing an ion exchange softener at the main line can reduce strontium-90 throughout a Hen Scratch home. This makes it a practical option when you want treatment that works for every tap.
To be effective, an ion exchange softener must be sized to your household’s water use and the mineral load in the water. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues removing strontium over time, and routine maintenance keeps performance reliable. Prefiltration to remove sediment also helps the media last longer. Mr. Pure Water can look over your test results and recommend a whole-house setup for Hen Scratch that targets strontium-90 without adding unnecessary complexity.
