Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can occur in water at trace levels. Because it mimics calcium chemically, it can dissolve into groundwater and travel through aquifers that many Florida communities, including Arundel, rely on—then enter your house via the main supply line. It won’t change the taste, smell, or appearance of your water, so the only reliable way to know if it’s present is a lab test targeted at radionuclides.
You use household water for much more than drinking—cooking, making ice, bathing, and brushing teeth all matter. If testing finds elevated levels of strontium-90 or related forms of strontium, the most effective strategy is to treat incoming water before it reaches every faucet and fixture. Point-of-use filters protect just one location; a whole-house system gives consistent protection across the home. For Arundel homeowners concerned about local groundwater variability, an entry-point solution covers the full range of daily water uses.
When removing strontium-90, a whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the single most effective filter choice. The resin beads in the tank exchange 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 option for treating the water at the Arundel home’s point of entry.
To be effective in Arundel’s humid subtropical area—where groundwater hardness and mineral content can vary—a softener must be sized to your household’s flow and overall mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues removing strontium over time, and routine maintenance preserves performance. Often a prefilter is paired with the softener to protect the resin from sediment. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results and recommend a whole-house ion exchange setup that targets strontium-90 without adding unnecessary complexity.
