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 acts much like calcium, it can travel with groundwater and enter a Lamont home through the main service line without any noticeable taste, odor, or color to warn you. The only reliable way to determine whether it’s present is through targeted water testing for radionuclides.
In Lamont households, water is used for more than drinking — cooking, making ice, bathing, and brushing teeth all use the same supply. If lab tests report elevated strontium-90, reducing exposure means treating water at the point it enters your home so every faucet and shower is covered. While point-of-use devices can protect one sink, they won’t safeguard the whole house; an appropriately chosen whole-house system gives consistent protection across daily water uses in a Lamont residence.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is frequently the single most effective filter option for removing strontium-90 because the resin exchanges dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same exchange process can capture positively charged contaminants like strontium, so an ion exchange softener installed at your Lamont service entrance can reduce strontium-90 as water is sent to every fixture. For homeowners wanting entry-point treatment, this type of system is a practical and proven choice.
To perform well in Lamont homes, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s daily water use and the hardness or mineral load present. Regular salt-based regeneration refreshes the resin so it continues removing strontium over time, and routine maintenance keeps the system dependable. Often a quality prefilter is added to protect the resin from sediment and extend its life. Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup tailored to reducing strontium-90 without making the system more complex than necessary.
