Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can travel with groundwater and enter homes through the main service line. Because it behaves much like calcium, it can dissolve into water without producing any noticeable taste, odor, or color that would tip you off. The only reliable way for Ave Maria homeowners in Collier County to know if it’s present is through specific radionuclide testing of well or utility water.
In Ave Maria, the water you use for cooking, ice, bathing and brushing teeth is the same water that should be considered when thinking about strontium-90. Point-of-use filters may protect a single sink or refrigerator, but they won’t cover the whole house — important in communities like Maple Ridge or Del Webb Naples where consistent protection matters for every fixture. A correctly chosen whole-house system treats water at the entry point so every tap in your home benefits day-to-day.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same exchange process can capture positively charged contaminants such as strontium, making an ion exchange softener a practical choice for Ave Maria homes that want treatment at the point where water enters the house.
To be effective in Ave Maria’s typically hard groundwater, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s water usage and mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues to remove strontium over time, and good prefiltration helps keep sediment from fouling the media.
