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 mimics calcium chemically, it moves with groundwater and can make its way into your house through the main service line. You won’t detect it by taste, smell, or appearance, so the only reliable way to find out if it’s present in New Home water is a lab test that looks for radionuclides.
In New Home households, water is used for cooking, ice, bathing and brushing teeth — not just drinking — so any contaminant found in testing can be a concern throughout the home. If your water test flags elevated strontium-90, treating the water at the point where it enters the house prevents distribution to every fixture. A single point-of-use filter protects only one faucet; a correctly chosen whole-house system gives coverage for all daily uses and activities in your home.
When the goal is reducing strontium-90 across the entire plumbing system, a whole-house water softener using ion exchange is frequently the most effective single-filter option. The resin in the softener swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium and can capture other positively charged ions like strontium, so chemically similar elements such as strontium-90 are reduced by the same exchange process. That makes an ion exchange softener a practical entry‑point choice for New Home properties needing broad treatment.
To perform reliably in a New Home residence, an ion exchange softener should be sized to your household’s daily water use and the mineral load of the supply. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin’s capacity to remove strontium, and routine maintenance helps sustain removal performance. Prefiltration to block sediment can extend media life, and Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup tuned to target strontium-90 without adding unnecessary complexity.
