Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can dissolve into groundwater and travel with the water that feeds a house. Because it behaves much like calcium, it moves with dissolved minerals and won’t reveal itself by taste, smell, or color. In low-lying, seasonally flooded areas like Fakahatchee and nearby Collier County, well systems can be more vulnerable to changes in groundwater, so the only reliable way to know if strontium-90 is present is through targeted radionuclide water testing.
Families use water throughout the home for cooking, ice, bathing and brushing teeth, so any contamination that reaches plumbing affects everyday life across Everglades City, Copeland and neighboring communities. If testing indicates elevated strontium-90, the practical step is to treat water at the point it enters your home so every fixture receives safer water. Point-of-use devices protect a single faucet, but a whole-house system gives consistent coverage for showers, laundry and kitchen needs in Fakahatchee properties.
A whole-house water softener that uses ion exchange is often the single most effective filter option for reducing strontium-90 at the home entry. The resin bed exchanges certain dissolved ions in the water for sodium or potassium and can also remove other positively charged contaminants such as strontium. Because strontium-90 is chemically strontium, an ion exchange softener can reduce its concentration while providing the everyday benefits of softened water for homes near the Big Cypress region.
To be effective in Fakahatchee, an ion exchange softener should be sized for your household’s flow and the mineral load in your supply, and it requires regular regeneration with salt to refresh the resin. Adding a sediment prefilter is often helpful here because seasonal flooding and humid subtropical conditions can increase particulate load that shortens media life. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results and recommend a whole-house softener and prefiltration plan tailored to local conditions without making the system more complex than it needs to be.
