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 in the environment, it can dissolve into groundwater and make its way into a house through the main service line. There aren’t reliable tastes, odors, or colors that signal its presence, so the only dependable method to detect it is laboratory testing for radionuclides.
In Santa Clara, homeowners use water for cooking, ice, bathing, and oral care, so any contaminant in the supply can affect many everyday activities. If test results show elevated strontium-90, the most effective strategy is treatment at the point where water enters the home so every faucet and shower is covered. Point-of-use devices can protect a single tap, but they won’t treat laundry, showers, or outdoor spigots; a whole-house system gives consistent protection across household water uses.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same exchange process can capture positively charged contaminants like strontium, so an ion exchange softener installed at the home’s entry point can lower levels throughout the plumbing. This approach offers practical, continuous treatment for Santa Clara residences when a single-filter solution is desired.
To be effective for a Santa Clara home, an ion exchange softener must be sized to your household’s water use and mineral load. Routine regeneration with salt restores the resin’s ability to remove strontium, and regular maintenance prevents declines in performance. Protecting the softener with a prefilter helps keep sediment from fouling the media. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results and recommend a whole-house configuration that targets strontium-90 without adding unnecessary complexity.
