Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can appear in water at very low concentrations. Because it mimics calcium chemically, it can dissolve in groundwater and travel into a house through the main service line. You won’t be able to detect it by taste, smell, or sight, so the only reliable way to know if it’s present in a Vilas home’s supply is to have your water tested for radionuclides.
In Vilas households, water is used for much more than drinking — cooking, ice, showers and oral care all rely on safe water. If testing indicates elevated strontium-90 or related radionuclides, the practical step is to reduce exposure by treating water at the point it enters your home so every tap is protected. Single faucet, point-of-use filters can treat one fixture, but they leave the rest of the house unprotected; a properly chosen whole-house system gives consistent coverage for everyday use across the property.
When targeting strontium-90 in a whole-house installation, a water softener using ion exchange is frequently the most effective single-filter option. The resin in the softener exchanges certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium and can also capture other positively charged ions, including strontium. Because strontium-90 is a form of strontium, it can be reduced by this exchange process, making an ion exchange softener a practical entry-point treatment for Vilas homes.
To perform reliably in a Vilas home, an ion exchange softener needs to be sized to your household’s water use and overall mineral load. Periodic regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues removing strontium, and routine maintenance helps sustain performance. Prefiltration to remove sediment is often recommended to protect the media and extend service life. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results and suggest a whole-house softener setup tailored to reduce strontium-90 without adding unnecessary complexity.
