Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can occur in water at extremely low concentrations. Because it reacts much like calcium, it can travel with groundwater and enter Marcy homes through the main service line. There’s no dependable taste, odor, or color to tip you off to its presence, so the only way to know if it’s in your water is through targeted radionuclide testing.
You use water for drinking, cooking, ice, bathing and oral care — everyday tasks in Marcy — so when strontium-90 is part of the conversation about drinking water safety, it matters for the whole household. If test results indicate elevated strontium, the safest strategy is to treat water at the point it enters your home so every faucet and shower is covered. Point-of-use filters can protect a single sink, but a correctly selected whole-house system gives consistent protection across all daily uses.
A whole-house water softener that uses ion exchange is often the single most effective filter for reducing strontium-90 at the home entry point. The resin beads in the softener swap certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium and can also capture positively charged contaminants like strontium. Because strontium-90 is chemically strontium, it can be reduced through that same exchange process, making an ion exchange softener a practical choice for Marcy homeowners seeking entry-point treatment.
To perform well in Marcy’s humid subtropical climate and to meet your household needs, an ion exchange softener should be sized to your family’s water use and the water’s mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues removing strontium over time, and routine maintenance prevents performance decline. Prefiltration can shield the resin from sediment and extend system life; our team at Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup tailored for effective strontium-90 reduction without unnecessary complexity.
