Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can appear in water at trace levels. Because it behaves much like calcium, it moves with groundwater and can enter a house through the main service line, and there’s no reliable taste, smell, or color that signals its presence. The only way to confirm it in your water—whether you live in Leland or elsewhere—is through water testing that specifically looks for radionuclides.
In Leland households, water is used for cooking, making ice, bathing, and oral care, so any contaminant found in a test can affect everyday life beyond just drinking. If tests indicate elevated strontium-90, the practical approach is to treat incoming water so every faucet and fixture is covered. Point-of-use devices protect a single tap, but a whole-house system delivers consistent treatment across your home’s daily uses.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin exchanges dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same ion-exchange process can also remove other positively charged contaminants, including strontium, so installing a correctly chosen softener at your Leland home’s main line can reduce strontium-90 throughout the house.
To perform well in a Leland home, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your family’s water use and local mineral levels. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues to remove strontium, and routine maintenance preserves long-term performance; pairing the softener with prefiltration helps protect the media from sediment. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup that targets strontium-90 without adding unnecessary complexity.
