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 behaves much like calcium chemically, it can remain dissolved in groundwater and enter New Harmony homes through the main service line. You won’t detect it by taste, smell or sight, so the only reliable way to know if it’s present is a laboratory water test that looks for radionuclides.
In New Harmony households, water is used for drinking, cooking, ice, bathing and brushing teeth, so any detected strontium-90 is a whole-home concern. If testing shows elevated levels, the right strategy is to treat water at the point it enters the house so all fixtures receive protected water. Individual point-of-use filters serve a single tap, but they won’t shield showers, washing machines or outdoor spigots—whereas a properly chosen whole-house system gives consistent coverage for everyday uses across your New Harmony home.
When the goal is to reduce strontium-90 throughout the house, a whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter option. The resin in the softener swaps certain dissolved ions in the water for sodium or potassium and can also capture positively charged contaminants like strontium. Because strontium-90 is chemically strontium, it can be reduced by this exchange process, making an ion exchange softener a practical choice for treatment at the main water entry to your New Harmony residence.
For reliable removal in a New Harmony home, an ion exchange softener must be sized to your household’s water use and the water’s mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues to remove strontium over time, and routine maintenance keeps performance steady. Prefiltration to remove sediment often protects the media and extends service 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.
