Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can occur at very low concentrations in water. Because it behaves much like calcium, it can dissolve into groundwater and travel through mains to reach homes in Wausau. You won’t detect it by taste, smell, or sight, so the only reliable way to know if it’s present is a laboratory water test for radionuclides focused on strontium-90.
Wausau homeowners use water for cooking, ice, bathing, and brushing teeth, so any contaminant in the supply matters throughout the house. If testing shows elevated strontium-90, the most effective strategy is to treat water at the point it enters the home so all fixtures receive treated water. Point-of-use devices can protect a single sink or refrigerator, but they won’t cover showers, laundry, or outdoor taps the way a whole-house system will.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the single most effective filter for removing strontium-90 because its resin exchanges dissolved ions like strontium for sodium or potassium. Since strontium-90 is chemically strontium, it can be reduced by that same ion exchange process. For Wausau homes seeking entry-point treatment, an ion exchange softener provides a practical way to lower strontium concentrations across every tap.
To perform well in a Wausau home, an ion exchange softener should be sized for your household’s daily water use and the mineral load of your supply. Regular regeneration with salt replenishes the resin so it continues to capture strontium, and routine maintenance helps sustain performance. Adding a prefilter can protect the softener from sediment and extend media life. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results from Wausau and recommend a whole-house arrangement that targets strontium-90 without unnecessary complexity.
