Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can show up in water at very low concentrations. Because it behaves much like calcium, it moves with groundwater and can enter a Perrine house through the main supply line without any taste, smell, or visible sign. The only reliable way to know if it’s present is a lab test that looks specifically for radionuclides.
In Perrine homes, water is used for cooking, making ice, bathing and teeth brushing — not just drinking. While a point-of-use filter can treat a single faucet, it won’t protect plumbing, showers, or appliance water. If testing identifies elevated strontium-90, treating the water at the entry point with a whole-house system gives coverage across the entire home and reduces overall exposure during everyday use.
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 exchange mechanism can capture positively charged strontium ions, so an ion exchange softener provides treatment at the Perrine service entry without adding extra point filters around the house.
To be effective in Perrine — where municipal water is typically hard — an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household demand and mineral load, and it needs regular regeneration with salt to keep the resin working. Good prefiltration can protect the media from sediment and extend service life. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup that targets strontium-90 while also addressing scale and everyday water quality.
