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 acts much like calcium, it can travel with groundwater and enter Holiday Manor homes through the main supply line. There’s no reliable taste, smell, or color to give it away, so the only way to confirm its presence is with water testing targeted at radionuclides.
In Holiday Manor households we use water for drinking, cooking, ice, bathing and brushing teeth—so any contaminant in the supply matters for daily exposure. Point-of-use filters can protect a single faucet, but they won’t treat showers, laundry or outdoor hoses. When testing reveals concerning radionuclide results, treating water at the point it enters your Holiday Manor home with a whole-house system delivers consistent protection across every fixture.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same exchange process can capture positively charged contaminants like strontium, so an ion exchange softener installed at the entry point can lower strontium levels throughout your Holiday Manor plumbing.
To perform well in Holiday Manor’s humid subtropical climate and moderate hardness conditions, an ion exchange softener should be sized to your household water use and mineral load. Regular salt-based regeneration restores the resin so it continues removing strontium over time, and prefiltration helps keep sediment from fouling the media. Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup that targets strontium-90 efficiently for your home.
