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 travel with groundwater and enter Wakulla houses through the main supply line. There’s no dependable taste, smell, or color to signal its presence, so the only reliable way to know if it’s in your water is a targeted radionuclide test.
In Wakulla households, water is used for cooking, making ice, bathing and brushing teeth — so concerns about strontium-90 extend beyond just drinking. If testing shows elevated levels, the safest strategy is to treat water at the point it enters the home so every faucet and fixture is covered. Point-of-use devices protect a single tap, but a whole-house system gives consistent protection across all daily water uses.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90, because its resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same exchange mechanism can capture positively charged contaminants like strontium, so a properly configured softener treats water as it enters your Wakulla home and helps reduce that contaminant throughout the house.
To perform well in a Wakulla residence, an ion exchange softener must be sized to your household’s water use and mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues removing strontium over time, and routine maintenance keeps the system reliable. Often a prefilter is added to protect the media from sediment. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup that targets strontium-90 without adding unnecessary complexity.
