Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can occur at very low concentrations in drinking water. Because it reacts like calcium, it can travel with groundwater and reach a home through the main service line, and you won’t notice it by taste, smell, or sight. The only reliable way to determine if it’s present in Lake View Point water is through laboratory testing that looks for radionuclides.
Around the house, strontium-90 can affect water used for cooking, ice, bathing, and oral hygiene, so a single faucet filter won’t address all potential exposure. If your Lake View Point test results show elevated levels, the practical aim is to treat water at the point it enters the home so every fixture receives safer water. Whole-house systems provide comprehensive coverage across daily uses in a way point-of-use devices cannot.
When reducing strontium-90, a whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter option. The resin in the tank swaps certain dissolved ions in your water for sodium or potassium and can also capture positively charged contaminants like strontium. Because strontium-90 is chemically strontium, it can be reduced by that same exchange process, making an ion exchange softener a practical choice for treating Lake View Point homes at the entry point.
An ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s daily water use and the mineral levels in your supply to perform well. Routine regeneration with salt restores the resin’s ability to remove strontium, and simple maintenance keeps the system working reliably. Protecting the softener with a good prefilter also helps prevent sediment from shortening resin life. Mr. Pure Water can review your Lake View Point water test results and recommend a whole-house setup that targets strontium-90 without adding unnecessary complexity.
