Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can appear in water at trace levels and moves through groundwater much like calcium does. Because it behaves chemically similar to calcium, it can dissolve and travel with aquifer water that feeds many wells here. You won’t be able to taste, smell, or see this contaminant in your tap water in Ankona, so the only reliable way to detect it is by having a lab run radionuclide-focused water testing.
In Ankona households, water is used for much more than drinking — cooking, making ice, bathing and brushing teeth all rely on the same supply — so a test showing elevated strontium-90 means treating at the source is the safest route. Point-of-use devices can protect a single sink or refrigerator, but they won’t cover showers, outdoor hoses, or every bathroom. A whole-house system installed at the main line offers consistent treatment across your home and better reduces overall exposure during daily use.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most practical single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. Since strontium is a positively charged ion like calcium, it can be captured by the same exchange process, making an ion exchange softener a sensible choice for treatment at the point where water enters Ankona homes.
To perform well in this part of coastal Florida, a softener must be sized to your family’s water use and the hard, mineral-rich water common in the area. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues to remove strontium, and routine maintenance preserves long-term performance. Often, adding a prefilter reduces sediment and scale that can wear the media down faster. Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend an appropriately sized whole-house softener setup for Ankona that targets strontium-90 without unnecessary complexity.
