Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can travel with groundwater and occasionally appear in household supplies at very low concentrations. Because it acts a lot like calcium, it dissolves and moves through plumbing without changing taste, smell, or color—so you won’t notice it by using your senses. In Everglades homes, where coastal flooding, corrosion and sediment can affect water quality, the only reliable way to find strontium-90 is a lab test that looks specifically for radionuclides.
Families in Everglades use the same water for cooking, ice, bathing and brushing teeth, so any contaminant in the main line is a whole-house concern. If testing shows elevated strontium-90, the practical aim is to treat water at the point it enters the home so every fixture is protected. Point-of-use filters help one tap but don’t stop contaminants reaching showers, washing machines, or irrigation—where hard, mineral-rich water typical of the Collier County area can also cause scale. A correctly chosen whole-house system delivers consistent treatment across everyday water use.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps dissolved ions in the water for sodium or potassium. That ion exchange process also captures positively charged contaminants like strontium, so chemically identical strontium-90 can be reduced by the same mechanism. For Everglades homeowners wanting treatment at the entry point, an ion exchange softener is a practical, single-filter choice that also addresses hard water issues common in the area.
To perform reliably in Everglades conditions, an ion exchange softener should be sized for your household’s daily water use and the high mineral content typical of South Florida. Routine regeneration with salt restores the resin’s ability to remove strontium, and regular maintenance prevents sediment and corrosion-related wear—especially important given local flooding and coastal influences. Often a prefilter is added to trap sediment before it reaches the softener’s media. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results and recommend a whole-house ion exchange setup tailored for Everglades homes without unnecessary complexity.
