Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can occur at trace levels in water. Because it mimics calcium chemically, it can travel with groundwater and enter a home through the main supply line without any change in taste, smell, or color to warn you. The only dependable way to find out if strontium-90 is present in your Carnestown water is to have a laboratory test for radionuclides.
Families in Carnestown use water for more than drinking — cooking, making ice, bathing, and brushing teeth all matter for exposure. If testing indicates elevated strontium-90, treating the water where it enters the house reduces risk across every fixture. Under-sink or single-faucet filters protect only that outlet; a whole-house system gives consistent treatment for showers, laundry, and every tap throughout homes in the Naples–Marco Island area.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin exchanges dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same exchange process can capture positively charged contaminants like strontium, so installing an ion exchange softener at the Carnestown service entry point treats water before it reaches plumbing and appliances. This approach provides broad coverage without adding multiple point-of-use devices.
To perform well in Carnestown’s hard, mineral-rich groundwater and occasional saline or corrosive influences, an ion exchange softener should be sized to your household demand and local water hardness. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin’s capacity to remove strontium, and routine maintenance keeps the system reliable. Using a prefilter can protect the resin from sediment common in Southwest Florida groundwater; Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend the right whole-house setup for your home.
