Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of the element strontium that can appear at very low concentrations in water. Because it mimics calcium chemically, it travels with groundwater and can enter your house through the main supply line. There’s no reliable taste, smell, or color to reveal its presence, so the only way to know whether it’s in your Clewiston water is through radionuclide-focused testing.
In Clewiston homes, water is used for much more than drinking—cooking, making ice, bathing and brushing teeth all expose your household to whatever is in the supply. If test results show elevated strontium-90, the practical approach is to treat water at the point it enters the house so every faucet and fixture is protected. Point-of-use cartridges can guard a single sink or fridge, but they won’t cover all daily uses; a whole-house system gives consistent treatment across the home, from the kitchen to outdoor spigots.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is commonly the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. Because strontium behaves like other positively charged ions, the softener’s resin can capture it during the exchange process. For Clewiston homeowners dealing with hard groundwater and mineral scale concerns, an ion exchange system treats incoming water at the entry point so treated water flows to every fixture.
To be effective in a Clewiston household, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your family’s water use and the hardness of local groundwater. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues to remove strontium, and routine maintenance keeps the system running well. Adding a sediment prefilter often helps protect the resin from grit that can shorten its life. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup that targets strontium-90 while addressing hard-water scale common in the Hendry County/Lake Okeechobee region.
