Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can appear in water at very low concentrations. Because it behaves like calcium, it moves with groundwater and can enter a house through the main supply line, and there’s no reliable taste, smell, or color to signal its presence. The only way to know whether it’s in your Kent Mill water is a lab test that looks specifically for radionuclides.
Around the home, strontium-90 can be part of the water used for cooking, making ice, bathing, and brushing teeth—everyday uses that matter. Point-of-use filters protect a single tap, but they won’t treat showers, laundry, or outdoor spigots. For Kent Mill homeowners who want consistent coverage at every fixture, a correctly chosen whole-house system treats water at the entry point so the whole household sees the benefit.
A whole-house water softener that uses ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter method for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same exchange mechanism can also capture positively charged contaminants such as strontium, so an ion exchange softener serves as a practical entry-point treatment for Kent Mill homes seeking broad protection.
To be effective in Kent Mill, an ion exchange softener should be sized to your household’s water use and overall mineral content so the resin can perform reliably. Routine regeneration with salt restores the media’s capacity to remove strontium, and simple maintenance—plus a prefilter to guard against sediment—helps preserve longevity.
