Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can occur at very low concentrations in water. Because it acts much like calcium, it can stay dissolved in groundwater and travel into homes through the main service line. You won’t detect it by taste, smell, or sight — the only reliable way to find it is with laboratory water testing that looks for radionuclides.
In Viking households, water is used for much more than drinking — cooking, ice, bathing, and brushing teeth all expose families to what’s in the supply. If testing reveals elevated strontium-90, the most effective approach is to treat water at the entry point so every fixture receives the same protection. Point-of-use devices only cover one tap, while a correctly chosen whole-house system guards the whole home consistently.
A whole-house water softener that uses ion exchange is often the single most effective filter-type for reducing strontium-90. The resin in the softener swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium, and in the process can capture positively charged contaminants such as strontium. Because strontium-90 is chemically strontium, it can be reduced by the same exchange mechanism, making an ion exchange softener a practical choice for entry-point treatment in Viking homes.
To perform reliably in Viking’s hard, mineral-rich water, an ion exchange softener needs to be sized to your household’s daily use and overall mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it can continue removing strontium, and routine maintenance keeps performance steady. Using prefiltration to remove sediment can also protect the media and extend service life. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup tailored to remove strontium-90 without adding unnecessary complexity.
