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 mimics calcium chemically, it moves with groundwater and can enter a house through the main supply line without changing the water’s taste, smell, or appearance. The only reliable way to determine whether it’s present in your Celebration water is to have your water tested specifically for radionuclides.
In Celebration households the water you use for cooking, making ice, bathing, and brushing teeth comes from the same supply, so a radionuclide detected in testing can affect many daily activities. Point-of-use cartridges at a single kitchen faucet only protect that location; they won’t treat water used at showers, laundry, or outside spigots. A correctly chosen whole-house system treats water at the entry point to your home—whether you live near Celebration Town Center, Lakeside Park, or in North Village—so every fixture sees the same treated water.
When the goal is to reduce strontium-90 throughout the home, a whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter option. The resin in a softener exchanges sodium or potassium for certain dissolved ions in the water and can also remove positively charged contaminants such as strontium. Because strontium-90 is chemically strontium, it can be reduced by that same ion exchange process, making an ion exchange softener a practical entry-point treatment for Celebration homes.
An ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s usage and the hardness typical of Central Florida water to perform well—Celebration’s hard water means mineral load is an important factor. Routine regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues removing strontium, and regular maintenance keeps the system reliable. Prefiltration to remove sediment is also helpful to protect the media. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup tailored for Celebration that targets strontium-90 without unnecessary complexity.
