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 can stay dissolved in groundwater and enter Wagner houses through the main supply line—whether you’re on a municipal system or a private well. It won’t change the taste, smell, or appearance of your water, so the only dependable way to find it is with specific radionuclide testing.
Families in Wagner use water for cooking, ice, bathing and teeth brushing, so any contaminant in the main supply can affect daily life throughout the house. If testing indicates elevated strontium-90, the most reliable way to lower household exposure is to treat water at the point it enters the home. Point-of-use devices help a single sink or fridge, but they won’t protect showers or laundry; a properly selected whole-house system provides consistent treatment for every fixture in the home.
When looking to reduce strontium-90 throughout a Wagner home, a whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the best single-filter option. The resin beads in the tank exchange sodium or potassium for positively charged ions in the water, and because strontium is a positively charged ion like calcium, it can be captured by that same exchange process. For many homeowners this makes an ion exchange softener a practical choice for entry-point treatment.
To perform well in Wagner’s typically hard water, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s flow and mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt replenishes the resin so it continues to reduce strontium over time, and routine maintenance prevents declines in effectiveness. Prefiltration to remove sediment or iron often found in local supplies can extend media life. Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup tailored to Wagner homes that targets strontium-90 without unnecessary complexity.
