Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can occur in water at trace levels. Because it acts much like calcium, it moves with groundwater and can enter a Sunvale home through the main service line. It has no reliable taste, smell, or color to warn you, so the only way to confirm its presence is with laboratory testing for radionuclides.
In Sunvale residences, water is used for cooking, making ice, bathing and brushing teeth—so any contaminant that reaches the plumbing matters throughout the house. Point-of-use devices protect a single faucet, but they leave showers, washing machines and other outlets unprotected. If tests indicate elevated strontium-90, treating water at the home’s entry point provides broader protection for everyday activities across all fixtures.
A whole-house water softener employing ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin exchanges certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same ion-exchange process can capture positively charged contaminants like strontium, so an entry-point softener can lower strontium-90 as water is distributed through a Sunvale home.
For reliable performance in Sunvale, an ion exchange softener must be sized to your household’s daily water use and the mineral load in your supply. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues to remove strontium, and prefiltration helps protect the media from sediment that can reduce lifespan. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup that targets strontium-90 without adding unnecessary complexity.
