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 dissolve in groundwater and travel into a house through the main service line, and there’s no reliable taste, smell, or color to warn Lower Grand Lagoon homeowners if it’s present. The only way to know is to have water tested specifically for radionuclides by a qualified lab.
You use your water for much more than drinking — cooking, ice makers, bathing, and brushing teeth all matter for household exposure in Lower Grand Lagoon. If test results show elevated strontium-90 or related contaminants, treating the water at the point it enters your home reduces exposure across every faucet and fixture. Point-of-use devices protect a single tap, but a whole-house system gives consistent coverage for daily activities throughout the house.
A whole-house water softener using 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. Because strontium is chemically similar to calcium, it can be captured by the same exchange process, making an ion exchange softener a practical choice for entry-point treatment in Lower Grand Lagoon homes.
To be effective, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household water use and the mineral content of your supply. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues removing strontium, and routine maintenance preserves performance; adding a prefilter can help keep sediment from fouling the media. Mr. Pure Water can look at your test results and recommend a whole-house configuration tailored to Lower Grand Lagoon conditions without adding unnecessary complexity.
