Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can occur in water at trace concentrations. Because it behaves much like calcium, strontium moves readily with groundwater and can enter a house through the main supply line without any taste, smell, or visible sign. The only reliable way to find it is with a water test that includes radionuclide analysis — something we recommend for Wagon Wheel residents whether you’re on a municipal connection or a private well.
People in Wagon Wheel use their home water for much more than drinking: cooking, making ice, bathing and brushing teeth all matter when contaminants are present. Point-of-use filters treat a single tap but won’t shield the whole house. If test results indicate elevated strontium-90, installing treatment at the point where water enters your home gives continuous protection to every faucet and appliance, which is especially useful in our humid subtropical climate where water use patterns can vary.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most practical single-filter choice for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps out certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same ion-exchange action can capture positively charged contaminants like strontium, making the softener an effective entry-point treatment for Wagon Wheel homes that need broad coverage across all fixtures.
To perform well for Wagon Wheel households, an ion exchange softener must be matched to your family’s water use and the mineral load indicated by testing. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin’s capacity to remove strontium, and routine maintenance plus a good prefilter to remove sediment will help the media last. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test and recommend the right whole-house softener setup so you get targeted strontium-90 reduction without unnecessary complexity.
