Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can occur in water at very low concentrations. Because it behaves much like calcium, it can dissolve in groundwater and travel into a house through the main service line. There’s no reliable taste, smell, or color to reveal its presence, so the only way to know if it’s in your supply is a lab test for radionuclides targeted to detect strontium-90.
In Westville households, water is used for drinking, cooking, making ice, bathing, and oral hygiene — so when strontium-90 is a concern, homeowners want to reduce exposure across all those uses. Point-of-use filters can protect a single tap, but they won’t treat showers, laundry, or outdoor spigots. A correctly chosen whole-house system treats water at the entry point and gives consistent coverage for daily needs throughout the home.
For addressing strontium-90, a whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter option. The resin inside the softener swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium and can also capture positively charged contaminants like strontium. Because strontium-90 is chemically strontium, it can be reduced by this exchange process, making an ion exchange softener a practical choice for treating Westville’s incoming water at the main line.
To be effective in a Westville home, an ion exchange softener should be sized for your household’s water use and mineral levels. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues to remove strontium, and routine maintenance preserves long-term performance. Pairing the softener with quality prefiltration can protect the media from sediment and extend its life; Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend the right whole-house setup for your needs.
