Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can appear in water at trace concentrations. Because it acts like calcium in water chemistry, it can travel with groundwater and enter homes through the main supply line, and it won’t give any reliable taste, smell, or color to alert you. The only way to know whether it’s present in your Watergate home’s water is to have lab testing that specifically looks for radionuclides.
People often think about drinking water when they hear about strontium-90, but household uses like cooking, making ice, bathing, and brushing teeth all matter too. If your water test in Watergate flags elevated results, the best approach is to treat the water where it enters the house so every faucet and shower is covered. Single faucet, point-of-use filters protect only one outlet; a correctly chosen whole-house system gives consistent protection for everyday water use across your home.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same exchange process can capture positively charged contaminants like strontium, so an ion exchange softener can lower the amount that reaches your taps. For Watergate homeowners dealing with hard water in our humid subtropical climate, an entry-point softener delivers treatment across the entire plumbing system.
To perform well, an ion exchange softener needs to be sized for your household’s flow and the overall mineral load in your water. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin’s capacity to remove strontium, and routine maintenance plus good prefiltration helps prevent sediment from shortening media life. Mr. Pure Water can review your Watergate water test results and recommend a whole-house configuration that targets strontium-90 while addressing local hard-water needs without unnecessary complexity.
