Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can appear in water at very low concentrations. Because it acts like calcium, it travels with groundwater and can enter a residence through the main supply line, with no taste, smell, or color to give it away. The only reliable way for Chokoloskee homeowners to know if it’s present is to have a lab perform radionuclide-focused water testing.
In a coastal community like Chokoloskee, families use tap water for cooking, ice, bathing and brushing teeth every day, so testing is the first step if you’re concerned about strontium-90. Treating water at a single faucet helps only that point of use; to reduce exposure from showers, toilets and outdoor spigots you’ll want treatment at the house entry. A correctly chosen whole-house system gives consistent protection across the home and fits local needs—from homes near the marina to properties closer to the Ten Thousand Islands.
For strontium-90, a whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter approach. The resin in the softener swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium and can also capture positively charged contaminants like strontium. Because strontium-90 behaves chemically as strontium, it can be reduced by this exchange process, making an ion exchange softener a practical entry-point treatment for Chokoloskee residences.
To perform well in Collier County’s hard water and humid coastal conditions, an ion exchange softener must be sized to your household’s demand and mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin’s ability to remove strontium, and routine maintenance helps avoid performance decline—especially important where salt-air corrosion and occasional storm or flood impacts are a local concern. Prefiltration to remove sediment will protect the media, and Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results and recommend a whole-house setup tailored for Chokoloskee homes.
