Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can occur at trace levels in groundwater. Because it acts a lot like calcium, it can dissolve into the aquifer and travel with groundwater — reaching your home through the main supply line. There’s no reliable taste, smell, or color to indicate its presence, so a dedicated test for radionuclides is the only practical way to know whether it’s in Cassadaga household water.
In Cassadaga homes, water is used for much more than drinking: cooking, making ice, bathing and brushing teeth all rely on the same supply. While point-of-use filters can protect a single faucet, they leave the rest of the house exposed. If testing finds elevated strontium-90, treating the water at the point where it enters your DeLand or Lake Helen area home gives protection across all plumbing and daily uses — offering more consistent coverage for family health and appliance longevity.
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 an entry-point softener treats water before it reaches taps and showers in Cassadaga. For homeowners seeking a straightforward, house-wide solution, ion exchange softeners are a practical choice.
To perform well in Volusia County’s typically hard groundwater, an ion exchange softener must be sized to your household water use and mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues to remove strontium over time, and routine maintenance helps preserve longevity — especially where mineral scale can impact plumbing and appliances. Pairing a softener with prefiltration to protect the media from sediment is often a smart move; Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results from Cassadaga and recommend a whole-house setup that targets Strontium-90 without adding unnecessary complexity.
