Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can appear in water at very low concentrations. Because it acts much like calcium, it can dissolve into groundwater and travel through mains to reach a house in Woods without any change in taste, smell, or color to warn you. The only reliable way to find it is through specific radionuclide testing of your water.
Woods homeowners use water for drinking, cooking, bathing and brushing teeth, so any contaminant detected in testing affects daily life throughout the house. If lab results show elevated strontium-90 levels, the goal should be to treat water at the point it enters your Woods home so every faucet and shower benefits. Single faucet, point-of-use filters can protect one fixture, but a whole-house system delivers consistent coverage for all household uses.
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 a properly configured softener provides treatment right at the entry point to a Woods home.
To be effective in Woods, an ion exchange softener needs to be sized for your household’s water use and mineral load, and it requires regular regeneration with salt to restore the resin’s capacity to remove strontium. Good prefiltration helps keep sediment from reducing media life, and routine maintenance preserves performance. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup tailored to your Woods home that targets strontium-90 without adding unnecessary complexity.
