Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can occur at very low concentrations in water. Because it acts similarly to calcium, it travels with groundwater and can enter a house through the main service line without any noticeable taste, smell, or color. The only dependable way to determine whether it’s present in your Point Washington supply is to have your water tested specifically for radionuclides.
In homes across Point Washington, water is involved in cooking, making ice, bathing, and brushing teeth — not just drinking. If testing reveals elevated strontium-90, the best approach is to treat water at the point it enters the house so every faucet and appliance is protected. Point-of-use devices can serve a single tap, but they won’t safeguard showers, laundry, or outdoor spigots; a correctly chosen whole-house system delivers consistent protection for everyday water use throughout your home.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin exchanges dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That ion exchange process can also remove positively charged contaminants such as strontium, so a softener installed at the Point Washington service entrance can reduce the contaminant as water is distributed to every fixture. For many homeowners, this entry-point ion exchange approach is a practical way to treat the entire house.
To perform reliably in Point Washington, an ion exchange softener should be sized for your household water use and the mineral content you see in your water. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin’s capacity to remove strontium over time, and routine maintenance helps sustain performance. Often a prefilter is added to keep sediment from shortening media life. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test and recommend a whole-house softener setup that targets strontium-90 effectively while keeping the system straightforward.
