Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can occur in water at trace levels. Because it behaves much like calcium, it can dissolve in groundwater and travel with supplies that feed homes, entering through the main water line. You won’t be able to detect it by taste, smell, or sight—testing targeted at radionuclides is the only reliable way to know if it’s present in Lakemont plumbing.
Families in Lakemont use water for drinking, cooking, bathing, ice and brushing teeth, so any contamination found on a test is best addressed at the point where water enters the house. Point-of-use filters may protect a single faucet, but they won’t safeguard showers, appliances, or other taps. A properly chosen whole-house system delivers consistent treatment throughout your home, helping reduce exposure across everyday uses.
A whole-house water softener that uses ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same exchange can capture positively charged contaminants like strontium, so an ion exchange softener installed at the Lakemont service entry provides treatment for all fixtures without relying on multiple point filters.
To be effective in Lakemont, where groundwater is commonly hard, an ion exchange softener should be sized for your household’s water use and mineral levels. Regular salt-based regeneration restores the resin so it continues to remove strontium over time, and routine maintenance plus a quality prefilter helps protect the media from sediment and limescale.
