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 much like calcium, it dissolves and travels with groundwater and may enter Keela homes through the main service line. There’s no reliable taste, smell, or visible sign that it’s present, so the only way to know is with targeted water testing for radionuclides.
Families in Keela use their water for more than drinking — from cooking and ice to bathing and brushing teeth — so water quality matters throughout the house. Point-of-use filters protect a single faucet, but they won’t stop contaminants from reaching showers or washing machines. If testing indicates elevated strontium-90, a whole-house system installed at the entry point gives consistent treatment for every fixture and daily activity.
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 treats the water as it enters your Keela home and protects all downstream plumbing.
To be effective in Keela’s humid subtropical climate and local water conditions, an ion exchange softener should be sized for your household use and mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin’s ability to remove strontium over time, and routine maintenance prevents performance declines. Often a prefilter is added to keep sediment and biofilm from shortening media life; Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a whole-house setup that meets your needs without unnecessary complexity.
