Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive variety of strontium that can appear in water at trace levels. Because it acts much like calcium in nature, it can stay dissolved in groundwater and enter a house through the main supply line. There’s no reliable taste, smell, or visible sign to indicate its presence, so testing for radionuclides is the only practical way to detect it in Runnymede household water.
You use household water for cooking, making ice, showering, and brushing teeth, so concerns about strontium-90 often extend beyond drinking only. If a water test shows elevated strontium-90, the aim is to reduce exposure by treating the water at the point it enters the home so every faucet and fixture benefits. Point-of-use filters protect a single tap, but they won’t cover showers or laundry; a correctly chosen whole-house system gives continuous protection for daily water use across a Runnymede property.
A whole-house water softener that uses ion exchange is commonly the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. Since strontium is chemically similar to calcium, the ion exchange process can also remove positively charged strontium ions, making an ion exchange softener a practical entry-point treatment for Runnymede homes.
To perform reliably in Runnymede’s humid subtropical climate and waters that may carry mineral scale or well-water solids, an ion exchange softener should be sized to your household’s water use and overall mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin’s ability to capture strontium, and routine maintenance plus good prefiltration helps prevent sediment from shortening media life. Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a whole-house softener and prefilter combination tailored to your Runnymede home.
