Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can dissolve in groundwater and travel through pipes into a house. Because it acts like calcium, it can move with the water supply and won’t give off any noticeable taste, smell, or color to signal its presence. The only reliable way to find out whether it’s in your Molino water is to have a water test that includes radionuclides.
In Molino homes, water is used for many daily tasks — drinking, cooking, making ice, bathing, and brushing teeth — so any contaminant in the main line can affect the whole household. If testing reveals elevated strontium-90, the best strategy is to treat water at the point it enters your home so every faucet and shower is covered. Point-of-use filters can help one sink, but they don’t protect the rest of the house the way a whole-house system does.
A whole-house water softener that uses ion exchange is often the single most practical filter for reducing strontium-90, because the resin exchanges dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same ion exchange process can remove positively charged contaminants like strontium, so installing a properly specified softener at your Molino service line gives treatment across the entire home.
To be effective in Molino, an ion exchange softener should be sized for your household’s water use and mineral load so the resin can reduce strontium reliably. Routine regeneration with salt restores the media, and keeping sediment out with prefiltration helps the system last longer. Mr. Pure Water in Molino can examine your test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup that targets strontium-90 while staying straightforward and serviceable.
