Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can appear in water at trace levels. Because it behaves like calcium, it moves with groundwater and can enter a Pace home through the main water line without changing taste, smell, or color. The only reliable way to detect it is with laboratory testing targeted at radionuclides.
In Pace households, water is used for cooking, ice, bathing and brushing teeth, so concerns about strontium-90 often relate to everyday exposure throughout the home. If your water test shows elevated results, the most effective strategy is treating the water at the point it enters the house so every tap is protected. Individual point-of-use filters serve a single sink, but a whole-house system delivers consistent treatment across showers, laundry and all fixtures.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same ion-exchange process can capture positively charged contaminants like strontium, so treating at the home’s entry point with a properly selected softener can lower strontium-90 throughout a Pace residence.
To perform well in Pace homes, an ion exchange softener should be sized for your household’s water use and total mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin’s ability to remove strontium, and routine maintenance prevents performance decline; prefiltration can also protect the media from sediment. Mr. Pure Water can review your lab results and recommend a whole-house softener setup that targets strontium-90 effectively without unnecessary complexity.
