Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can occur at very low concentrations in water. Because it acts a lot like calcium, it moves with groundwater and can enter a home through the main service line without any noticeable taste, smell, or color. The only reliable way to detect it is with laboratory testing that looks specifically for radionuclides.
In Boca Pointe homes, water is used for more than drinking — it’s in the ice, meals, showers, and when kids brush their teeth — so treating water at a single faucet doesn’t address all exposure. If test results indicate elevated strontium-90, the safest approach is to treat water at the point it enters the house so every fixture benefits. Point-of-use devices can protect a sink or refrigerator, but a whole-house system gives consistent coverage across daily uses throughout your Palm Beach County residence.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter choice for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That ion-exchange process also captures positively charged contaminants like strontium, so a properly configured softener can reduce strontium-90 as water flows into your Boca Pointe home. Installing treatment at the entry point ensures the entire plumbing system is served by the same protection.
To perform well in Boca Pointe’s typically hard municipal water, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household demand and mineral load so it regenerates at the right intervals. Regular salt-based regeneration restores the resin’s capacity to remove strontium, and routine maintenance plus a quality prefilter helps prevent sediment from fouling the media. Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup that targets strontium-90 while handling the local hardness common to the Boca Raton area.
