Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can show up in water at very low concentrations. Because it acts much like calcium, it can dissolve in groundwater and travel through the main line into a Boca West house without any change in taste, smell, or appearance to warn you. The only reliable way to determine whether it’s present is through laboratory testing that looks specifically for radionuclides.
In Boca West households, water is used for cooking, ice, bathing and brushing teeth, so concerns about strontium-90 often relate to everyday exposure. If testing indicates elevated levels, the most effective response is treating water at the point it enters the home so every faucet and appliance is protected. Point-of-use filters may help at a single tap, but they won’t safeguard whole-house uses like showers, washing machines, or irrigation—where a whole-house system gives broader, consistent coverage.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is frequently the most effective single-filter option for removing strontium-90 because the resin exchanges certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same exchange process can also capture positively charged contaminants such as strontium, so a properly specified softener can reduce strontium-90 as the water enters your Boca West property. This approach treats all water at the entry point without adding extra point-of-use units around the house.
To be effective in Palm Beach County’s typically hard water, an ion exchange softener should be sized for your household’s flow and mineral load so it can regenerate on the right schedule. Regular salt-based regeneration restores the resin’s ability to remove strontium over time, and routine maintenance prevents scale and sediment from shortening media life—particularly useful in Boca West where hard water and scale are common. Prefiltration is often recommended to protect the resin, and Mr. Pure Water can review your water test and recommend a whole-house softener setup tailored to your home.
