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 mimics calcium chemically, it moves with groundwater and can enter a residence through the main supply line. You won’t notice it by taste, smell, or sight — the only reliable way to know if it’s present in your Sanders Park plumbing is a targeted water test for radionuclides.
In Sanders Park homes, water is used for cooking, ice, showers and brushing teeth, so concerns about strontium-90 extend beyond just drinking water. If testing indicates elevated levels, the safest approach is treating water at the point where it enters the house so every fixture is covered. Single faucet or point-of-use filters protect one tap but leave the rest of the home exposed; a properly chosen whole-house system gives consistent protection across everyday water use in our humid subtropical climate.
A whole-house water softener that uses 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 process can capture positively charged contaminants like strontium, so installing an ion exchange softener at the main line provides treatment for all water entering a Sanders Park home.
To perform reliably in Sanders Park’s warm, humid conditions, an ion exchange softener should be sized for your household’s daily water use and the mineral load in your supply. Routine regeneration with salt restores the resin’s capacity to remove strontium, and regular maintenance helps prevent biofilm and sediment from reducing effectiveness. Many homes benefit from a sediment prefilter to protect the media; Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a whole-house configuration that targets strontium-90 while keeping the system simple and serviceable.
