Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can occur in water at trace levels. Because it acts like calcium, it travels with groundwater and may enter a house through the main supply line; you won’t notice it by taste, smell, or sight. The only reliable way to find out if it’s present in your Nevins water is to run laboratory testing that looks specifically for radionuclides.
Families in Nevins use water for cooking, bathing, ice, and dental care, so any contaminant detected in testing should be addressed at the source. Point-of-use filters protect a single faucet, but they leave the rest of the home exposed. For whole-home protection across showers, appliances, and every tap, a correctly chosen whole-house system is the better approach for reducing overall exposure.
When a single-filter whole-house solution is desired, an ion exchange water softener is commonly the most effective option for reducing strontium-90 because it removes positively charged ions. The softener’s resin swaps certain dissolved ions in water for sodium or potassium and can capture strontium in that same process. For Nevins homeowners looking for entry-point treatment, an ion exchange softener provides a practical way to treat water before it reaches fixtures.
To perform well in Nevins — where groundwater often produces hard water and scale — an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s flow and total mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt replenishes the resin so it continues to remove strontium over time, and basic maintenance preserves consistent operation. Adding a prefilter to block sediment can extend resin life, and Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup tailored to your home and water conditions.
