Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can occur at very low levels in water. Because it acts like calcium, it can dissolve into groundwater and travel through a main line into a Lewis home. You won’t be able to detect it by taste, smell, or sight — testing for radionuclides is the only practical way to know whether it’s present.
Around the house, water is used for cooking, ice, bathing and brushing teeth, so any strontium-90 found in a Lewis water test can affect everyday activities. Point-of-use filters protect a single tap but leave the rest of the plumbing exposed; for whole-home protection it’s better to treat water at the entry point. A correctly chosen whole-house system delivers consistent treatment to all fixtures throughout a Lewis residence.
A whole-house water softener that uses ion exchange is often the best single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because it swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. The resin in the tank targets positively charged ions, and since strontium is chemically a positive ion, the exchange process can reduce its concentration. For Lewis homeowners seeking treatment at the main line, an ion exchange softener is a practical, entry-point solution.
To be effective in Lewis, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s water use and the water’s mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues to remove strontium, and routine maintenance helps preserve performance. Often a prefilter is added to block sediment and protect the media. Mr. Pure Water can review your Lewis water test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup tailored to reduce strontium-90 without making the system more complex than necessary.
