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 behaves much like calcium, it dissolves and travels with groundwater and can enter a house through the main service line. There’s no reliable taste, smell, or color to signal its presence, so the only way to know if it’s in your water is a lab test that includes radionuclides.
In Briny Breezes and neighboring towns along Palm Beach County’s coast, water is used for many daily tasks—cooking, making ice, bathing, and oral care—so any contaminant in the supply affects the whole household. If testing finds elevated strontium-90, the most practical approach is to treat water at the point it enters your home so every faucet and shower is protected. Point-of-use devices can help at a single sink, but they won’t cover outdoor hoses, irrigation, or the rest of your plumbing the way a whole-house solution will.
A whole-house water softener that uses ion exchange is often the single most effective filter for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. Since strontium is chemically similar to calcium, it can be captured by that same exchange process. For Briny Breezes homeowners looking for entry-point treatment, an ion exchange softener provides broad coverage across every fixture in the house.
To perform well in Palm Beach County’s typically hard water, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household demand and mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin’s capacity to remove strontium, and routine maintenance plus a good prefilter helps prevent sediment and coastal corrosion byproducts from shortening media life. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup tailored to Briny Breezes conditions and your family’s needs.
