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 behaves much like calcium, it can dissolve into groundwater and travel through the main line into your house unnoticed. There’s no reliable taste, smell, or color to reveal its presence, so the only way to determine if it’s in your supply is with radionuclide-focused water testing — something many Green-Mar Acres homeowners arrange when they want a clear answer about their water quality.
You use your home’s water for far more than drinking — cooking, ice, bathing and brushing teeth all involve the same supply. If tests show elevated strontium-90, reducing exposure means treating water at the point it enters the house so every fixture is covered. Point-of-use devices protect a single tap, but they don’t address showers, laundry or whole-house needs. A properly chosen whole-house system is the better way to provide consistent protection for daily water use across Green-Mar Acres properties, especially in a hard-water area of Palm Beach County where whole-home solutions also help with mineral buildup.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That ion-exchange process can capture positively charged contaminants like strontium, so treating the main line with a properly sized softener can reduce the contaminant throughout your Green-Mar Acres home. Because this recommendation relies on ion exchange, it remains the practical single-filter choice for entry-point treatment.
For reliable performance, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s water use and the mineral content common in Palm Beach County’s hard water. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues to remove strontium, and routine upkeep prevents declines in performance. Prefiltration can also protect the resin from sediment that shortens its life. Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a whole-house softener and prefiltration arrangement tailored to Green-Mar Acres homes so the system removes strontium-90 effectively without unnecessary complexity.
