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 travels with groundwater and can enter homes through the main supply line without any visible sign. You can’t taste, smell, or see it, so the only reliable way to know if it’s present in your Hurlburt Field water is to have tests that measure radionuclides.
Around the house, water is used for much more than drinking—cooking, ice, bathing, and oral care all rely on your supply. If tests show elevated strontium-90, reducing exposure means treating water at the point it enters the home so every faucet and shower is covered. Point-of-use cartridges help at a single sink, but they leave most fixtures unprotected; a correctly chosen whole-house system gives consistent treatment for everyday water use in Hurlburt Field homes.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because its resin swaps certain 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 provides treatment across the household plumbing. For many Hurlburt Field homeowners, this makes a softener a practical choice when treating for strontium-90.
To function properly, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s water use and the mineral load in your supply. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin’s capacity to remove strontium, and routine maintenance helps maintain performance. Prefiltration can protect the media from sediment that shortens service life. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results and recommend a whole-house ion exchange setup for Hurlburt Field that targets strontium-90 without making the system more complex than it needs to be.
