Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can show up in water at very low concentrations. Because it acts like calcium, it moves with groundwater and can enter a house through the main service line without any taste, odor, or visible sign. In Trailtown, where water quality and hardness can vary by utility or private well, the only reliable way to know if this radionuclide is present is to have a lab test for radionuclides on your specific water source.
Families use tap water across the home—for drinking, cooking, making ice, bathing, and brushing teeth—so concerns about strontium-90 are not limited to a single faucet. If your Trailtown water test indicates elevated strontium-90, the best approach is to treat water at the point it enters the house so every fixture is protected. Point-of-use filters can help at one sink, but they won’t safeguard showers, laundry, or other outlets the way a whole-house system does.
When a single whole-house filter is needed for strontium-90, an ion exchange water softener is often the most practical choice because it removes ions through exchange with sodium or potassium. The resin in the softener swaps certain dissolved ions and can capture positively charged contaminants like strontium, so the same exchange process that reduces hardness can also lower strontium-90 levels when sized and operated correctly. Installing an entry-point softener gives Trailtown homes broad coverage across all taps.
To be effective in a Trailtown home, an ion exchange softener must match your household’s water usage and the mineral load of your supply, whether you’re on a utility or a private well. Routine regeneration with salt (or potassium) restores the resin’s capacity to remove strontium, and adding prefiltration helps keep sediment from fouling the media. Mr. Pure Water can review your water report and recommend the right whole-house configuration so the system targets strontium-90 efficiently without unnecessary complexity.
