Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can be present in water at very low concentrations. Because it acts like calcium, it moves with groundwater and can enter Westgate homes through the main service line, and you won't taste, smell, or see it. The only reliable way to detect it in your water is with laboratory testing targeted at radionuclides.
In Westgate households, water is used for cooking, ice, bathing and brushing teeth, so concerns about strontium-90 often focus on reducing exposure throughout the home. If testing indicates elevated levels, treating water at the point it enters the house gives coverage to all fixtures—unlike a single point-of-use filter that protects only one tap. A correctly chosen whole-house system provides consistent treatment across daily household uses, which is especially useful in areas with hard water like ours.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter strategy for removing strontium-90. The resin in the softener swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium and can also capture positively charged contaminants such as strontium, so chemically identical strontium-90 can be reduced by the same exchange process. For Westgate homeowners who want treatment at the entry point, an ion exchange softener is a practical choice.
To perform reliably in Westgate's hard-water conditions, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household's flow and mineral load and maintained with regular salt regeneration to restore the resin. Good prefiltration can protect the media from sediment and reduce wear, which is helpful if local plumbing has scale buildup.
