Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can occur in water at very low concentrations. Because it behaves much like calcium, it moves with groundwater and can enter a house through the main service line, and there’s no reliable taste, smell, or color to alert Richter Crossroads residents to its presence. The only way to know if it’s in your water is to have specific radionuclide testing performed.
You use household water for more than drinking — cooking, ice, bathing and brushing teeth all rely on your supply — so concerns about strontium-90 often extend throughout the home. If your water test shows elevated levels, the most effective strategy is to treat water at the point it enters the house so every faucet and fixture is covered. Single point-of-use devices protect only one tap; a properly chosen whole-house system gives consistent protection for daily activities across your Richter Crossroads home.
A whole-house water softener that uses ion exchange is frequently the best single-filter option for reducing strontium-90, because the resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That ion exchange process can also capture other positively charged contaminants, including strontium, so chemically identical strontium-90 is reduced by the same mechanism. For many Richter Crossroads households, an ion exchange softener installed at the entry point offers a practical way to address this contaminant throughout the home.
To be effective in Richter Crossroads, an ion exchange softener should be sized to your household’s daily water use and the mineral load in your supply. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin’s ability to remove strontium, and routine maintenance helps maintain performance. Often, adding a quality prefilter protects the resin from sediment and extends system life. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test and recommend a whole-house configuration that targets strontium-90 without adding unnecessary complexity.
