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 behaves like calcium, it can travel with groundwater and enter a Meadow Woods house through the main service line, and it won’t announce itself with any reliable taste, odor, or color. The only dependable way to find out if it’s present is through laboratory testing that includes radionuclides.
In Meadow Woods households, water is used for drinking, cooking, making ice, bathing, and oral care — so any contaminant found on a water report can affect daily life. If your testing shows elevated strontium-90, the safest approach is to treat water at the entry point so all faucets and appliances receive treated water. Point-of-use devices protect a single sink, but they won’t address water used for showers, laundry, or lawn irrigation; a whole-house system provides continuous coverage across the home.
For whole‑home treatment of strontium-90, a conventional ion exchange water softener is often the most effective single-filter solution because the resin exchanges dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same exchange process can capture positively charged strontium ions, so a properly selected water softener installed at the Meadow Woods service entrance treats water before it reaches fixtures. This makes an ion exchange softener a practical choice when you want one system to address both hardness and strontium.
An ion exchange softener will perform best when it’s sized for your household demand and the mineral load typical of Meadow Woods groundwater, which can be moderately hard. Regular salt-based regeneration restores the resin’s capacity to remove strontium over time, and routine maintenance plus a good prefilter helps keep sediment from fouling the media. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test and recommend the right whole-house softener and prefiltration to suit homes in the Meadow Woods area.
