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 acts much like calcium, it moves with groundwater and can enter a house through the main supply line, and you won’t detect it by taste, smell, or sight. The only reliable way to know if it’s present in your Tilton water is a laboratory test targeted at radionuclides.
In Tilton households, water is used for drinking, cooking, making ice, bathing and brushing teeth — so any contaminant in the supply affects daily life. If tests show elevated strontium-90, the safest strategy is to treat water at the point it enters the home so every faucet and appliance is covered. Under-sink or countertop point-of-use units protect a single tap, but a whole-house system gives consistent protection across showers, laundry and all fixtures.
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. Since strontium is chemically a form of strontium, it can be picked up by the same exchange process the softener uses for calcium and magnesium. For many Tilton homes, an ion exchange system at the entry point offers practical, continuous treatment for this type of contaminant.
To perform well in Tilton, an ion exchange softener needs correct sizing for your household’s water use and mineral levels, and it must be regenerated regularly with salt so the resin keeps removing strontium over time. Good prefiltration helps prevent sediment from fouling the media and extending service life. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup for Tilton that targets strontium-90 while keeping the system straightforward and reliable.
