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 behaves like calcium, it moves with groundwater and can enter a house through the main supply line. You won’t detect it by taste, smell, or sight, so the only reliable way to know if it’s present is a water test that includes radionuclides — something homeowners in Open Sands can arrange through local labs or a qualified water professional.
People often hear about strontium-90 when discussing drinking water, but household uses like cooking, ice, bathing and brushing still rely on the same supply. If testing indicates elevated levels, the sensible aim is to treat water at the entry point so every faucet and fixture is covered. Point-of-use devices protect one tap, but they leave the rest of an Open Sands home exposed; a properly chosen whole-house system delivers consistent treatment for everyday water use throughout the house.
A whole-house water softener that uses ion exchange is often the single most effective filter-type for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same exchange process can capture positively charged contaminants like strontium, so an ion exchange softener installed at the home’s entry point provides a practical way to lower strontium concentrations throughout an Open Sands property without adding multiple treatment stages.
To perform well, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s water use and the mineral content of the supply. Regular salt-based regeneration refreshes the resin so it continues to remove strontium over time, and routine maintenance preserves performance. Protecting the softener with appropriate prefiltration reduces sediment stress on the media. Mr. Pure Water can review your Open Sands test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup that targets strontium-90 effectively and keeps your system straightforward.
