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 like calcium in water chemistry, it can move with groundwater and enter a house through the main service line. You won’t notice it by taste, smell, or sight—testing targeted at radionuclides is the only reliable way to detect its presence in Midway plumbing.
People in Midway use tap water for cooking, making ice, showering, and brushing teeth, so any detection of strontium-90 in a water test raises concerns about whole-home exposure. Point-of-use filters protect a single tap but leave the rest of the house untreated. For consistent protection at every fixture, homeowners typically look to a whole-house system that treats water at the entry point before it’s distributed through the home.
A whole-house water softener is often the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because it uses ion exchange. The resin in the softener swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium and can also capture positively charged contaminants like strontium. Because strontium-90 is chemically strontium, an ion exchange softener installed at the main line can reduce it while providing treated water to every tap in a Midway home.
To perform well in Midway homes, an ion exchange softener should be sized for your household’s flow and mineral load. Regular salt-based regeneration restores the resin’s capacity to remove strontium and routine maintenance keeps the system reliable. Using a prefilter ahead of the softener can protect the media from sediment and extend service life. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test and recommend a whole-house softener setup tailored to Midway conditions to target strontium-90 without added complexity.
