Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can occur at trace levels in groundwater and enter a house through the main supply line. Because it behaves similarly to calcium it moves with water and won’t give off a reliable taste, smell, or color to alert you. The only sure way to know if it’s present in your Homestead Ridge water is by testing specifically for radionuclides.
In Homestead Ridge homes, water is used for everything from cooking and making ice to bathing and brushing teeth, so any contaminant found in testing matters for the whole household. Point-of-use devices treat a single tap but won’t protect showers, washing machines, or outdoor hoses. If tests show elevated strontium-90 or related radionuclides, installing treatment at the entry point ensures consistent reduction across every fixture in your home.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the single most effective filter choice for reducing strontium-90 at the point of entry. The resin in the softener swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium and can capture positively charged contaminants like strontium, so the same exchange that softens hard water also reduces strontium levels. For homeowners in Homestead Ridge seeking treatment that covers the whole house, an ion exchange system is a practical, established option.
To perform well in a Homestead Ridge residence, an ion exchange softener should be sized to your household water use and the mineral load your supply carries. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin’s capacity to keep removing strontium, and basic maintenance prevents performance drop-off. Adding a prefilter can protect the media from sediment and extend service life; our Mr. Pure Water team can review your water test and recommend a whole-house configuration suited to your needs.
