Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that may be present in water at very low concentrations. Because it behaves like calcium, it can dissolve into groundwater and travel through the main supply into Westview houses without causing any taste, smell, or visible change. The only reliable way to know whether it’s in your water is to have a laboratory test that checks for radionuclides.
In Westview, families use the same water for cooking, ice, bathing, and brushing teeth, so concerns about strontium-90 extend beyond drinking water. If testing flags elevated levels, the best strategy is to treat water at the point it enters your home so every faucet is protected. Point-of-use devices help one fixture, but they won’t cover showers, laundry, or outdoor spigots—where a properly selected whole-house system does.
A whole-house water softener is often the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because it uses ion exchange. The resin bed swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium and can also remove other positively charged ions like strontium. Because strontium-90 is chemically strontium, it can be reduced by the same exchange process, making an ion exchange softener a practical entry-point treatment for Westview homes.
To be effective in Westview, an ion exchange softener should be sized for your household’s daily water use and the local mineral load, which can vary by neighborhood depending on municipal supply or private wells. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues to remove strontium, and routine maintenance preserves performance. Pairing the softener with a quality prefilter protects the media from sediment and extends system life; Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend the right whole-house setup for your home.
