Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can show up in water at trace levels. Because it acts like calcium, it moves with groundwater and can enter a residence through the main service line without changing taste, smell, or appearance. The only reliable way to know if your Gomez water has this contaminant is to run water testing that specifically looks for radionuclides.
In Gomez, homeowners use water for cooking, ice, bathing and oral care, so concerns about strontium-90 often extend beyond drinking alone. If tests reveal elevated levels, the objective is to limit exposure by treating water at the point it enters the house so every faucet and shower is covered. Point-of-use devices help at a single sink, but they don’t protect the whole household; a properly chosen whole-house system delivers more consistent protection across daily use, especially in humid subtropical Florida where mineral scaling or sediment can also affect plumbing.
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 in the water for sodium or potassium. That exchange process can also capture other positively charged contaminants like strontium, so treating at the entry point to your Gomez home can lower the contaminant throughout your plumbing. This ion exchange approach is a practical choice when you want broad coverage from one filter type.
To perform reliably, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s water demand and the overall mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues to remove strontium over time, and routine maintenance preserves performance—particularly in Florida where sediment or scaling from municipal or well supplies can be a factor. Prefiltration often helps protect the softener media, and Mr. Pure Water can review your Gomez water test results and recommend a whole-house setup that targets strontium-90 without unnecessary complexity.
