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 moves with groundwater and can enter a house through the main supply line without any taste, smell, or color to warn you. In Canal Point and the Lake Okeechobee area, the only reliable way to detect it is through laboratory testing that includes radionuclides.
You use drinking water for far more than just a glass—cooking, ice makers, bathing, and brushing teeth all rely on the same supply. While a point-of-use filter protects a single faucet, it won’t cover showers, outdoor spigots, or irrigation in Canal Point. If test results show elevated strontium-90, the practical approach is treating water at the entry point so every fixture and appliance benefits across daily use in our humid subtropical climate.
A whole-house water softener that uses ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter choice for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. Because strontium is chemically similar to calcium, the same exchange mechanism can capture positively charged strontium ions. For Canal Point homes with moderate hardness and variable source conditions near Lake Okeechobee and the canal network, an ion exchange softener provides entry-point treatment for the entire plumbing system.
To perform properly, an ion exchange softener needs to be sized for your family’s water use and the mineral load of your supply. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues to remove strontium, and routine maintenance plus a good sediment prefilter helps protect the media from clogging. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup tailored for Canal Point conditions without adding unnecessary complexity.
