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. There’s no reliable taste, smell, or color to signal its presence, so the only way to know whether Strontium-90 or other radionuclides are in your supply is to have your water tested for those contaminants.
In Millview households, the water you use for cooking, making ice, bathing, and brushing teeth is the same water that should be safe from contaminants like strontium-90. If testing shows elevated levels, reducing exposure means treating the water at the point it enters your home so every faucet and fixture is protected. While point-of-use devices can address one sink or refrigerator line, they won’t guard the whole house; a correctly chosen whole-house system delivers consistent protection for everyday use.
When the goal is whole-house reduction of strontium-90, an ion exchange whole-house water softener is often the most effective single-filter solution. The softener’s resin exchanges certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium and can also capture other positively charged ions like strontium, so chemically identical strontium-90 is reduced by the same process. For many Millview homes, installing an entry-point ion exchange system is a practical way to treat water before it’s distributed throughout the house.
To perform reliably in Millview, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s water use and the mineral load in your supply. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin’s capacity to remove strontium, and routine maintenance keeps the system working over time. Adding a prefilter can protect the resin from sediment that would shorten its life. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup that targets strontium-90 effectively without adding unnecessary complexity.
