Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can show up in water at very low concentrations. It behaves a lot like calcium, so it can dissolve into and travel with groundwater before entering a house through the main supply. There’s no reliable taste, smell, or color to signal its presence, so the only practical way to know if it’s in your Medart water is through testing specifically for radionuclides.
In Medart households, water is used for cooking, making ice, bathing, and brushing teeth — activities where any contaminant in the supply can matter. If testing identifies elevated strontium-90, the objective is to lower exposure by treating water at the point it enters the home so every fixture gets protection. Point-of-use devices can treat one sink or refrigerator line, but they won’t cover showers, washing machines, or outdoor spigots; a correctly chosen whole-house system gives consistent treatment throughout your Medart home.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is frequently the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin exchanges certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same exchange process can remove positively charged contaminants like strontium, so an ion exchange softener can reduce strontium-90 by treating water at the home’s entry point. For many Medart homeowners, this makes an ion exchange system a practical way to protect every tap.
To be effective for Medart homes, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s water use and overall mineral levels. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues removing strontium over time, and routine maintenance keeps the system performing reliably. Prefiltration is often recommended to prevent sediment from fouling the media. Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and suggest a whole-house ion exchange setup that targets strontium-90 without adding unnecessary complexity.
