Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can appear in water at very low concentrations. Because it acts much like calcium, it moves with groundwater and can enter a Noma home through the main service line without any taste, smell, or visible sign. The only reliable way to know if it’s present is to have your water tested specifically for radionuclides.
In Noma households, water is used for cooking, ice, bathing, and brushing teeth—so concerns about strontium-90 often extend beyond drinking water. If testing indicates elevated levels, the most effective way to limit exposure is treatment at the point where water enters your house so every faucet and shower is covered. Point-of-use devices protect a single fixture, but a whole-house system delivers consistent protection across daily household water use.
A whole-house water softener that uses ion exchange is commonly the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. Since strontium is chemically similar to calcium, the softener’s resin can capture positively charged strontium ions as water passes through. For Noma homeowners seeking treatment at the entry point to the home, an ion exchange softener is a practical, widely used choice.
To perform well in a Noma home, an ion exchange softener should be sized for your household’s water use and overall mineral load. Routine regeneration with salt restores the resin’s ability to remove strontium, and periodic maintenance preserves consistent performance. Prefiltration can shield the media from sediment that shortens its service life; Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup that targets strontium-90 without making the system more complex than necessary.
