Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can exist in water at very low concentrations. Because it acts much like calcium, it moves with groundwater and can enter a house through the main supply line without any noticeable taste, smell, or color to warn you. The only reliable way to find out if it’s present in your Rich Bay water is to have a lab test focused on radionuclides.
You use water for drinking, cooking, bathing and tooth brushing throughout your Rich Bay home, so when strontium-90 appears in test results the aim is to reduce it at the point where water enters the house. Point-of-use filters treat a single faucet, but they won’t protect showers, washing machines, or every tap. Installing the right whole-house system gives consistent treatment across the entire household’s daily water use.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter choice for reducing strontium-90 because its resin swaps dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. Since strontium is a positively charged ion like calcium, the same exchange process can reduce its concentration. For many Rich Bay homeowners, an ion exchange softener provides practical entry-point treatment that covers every fixture in the house.
To perform reliably in a Rich Bay household, an ion exchange softener needs to be sized to your family’s water use and the mineral levels in your supply. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues removing strontium, and routine maintenance preserves performance. Using a prefilter can protect the resin from sediment and extend service life; Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a whole-house softener configuration tailored to your needs.
