Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can be present in water at very low concentrations. Because it behaves much like calcium, it can dissolve into groundwater and travel through the main supply into Scanlon houses without changing taste, smell, or appearance. The only reliable way to know if it’s present is with water testing targeted at radionuclides.
In Scanlon homes, water is used for cooking, making ice, bathing, and brushing teeth, so any detected strontium-90 could reach you through many everyday activities. If testing identifies elevated levels, the objective is to lower exposure by treating water at the point it enters the house so all fixtures receive protection. Single faucet, point-of-use devices can help at one sink, but they won’t safeguard showers, laundry, or outdoor taps—whereas a correctly chosen whole-house system gives consistent coverage across daily use.
For reducing strontium-90 in household water, a whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter option. The resin in the tank swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium and can also capture other positively charged elements such as strontium. Because strontium-90 is chemically strontium, it can be reduced by this exchange process, making an entry-point ion exchange softener a practical choice for Scanlon homeowners who want treatment at every tap.
An ion exchange softener performs best when sized for your household’s daily water use and the overall mineral content of your supply. Routine regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues removing strontium over time, and basic maintenance keeps the system operating reliably. Prefiltration can also protect the resin from sediment and extend media life. Mr. Pure Water can review your Scanlon water test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup that targets strontium-90 effectively without unnecessary complexity.
