Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can occur at very low concentrations in water. Because it behaves much like calcium, it travels with groundwater and can enter Greenacres homes through the main supply line. It doesn’t change the taste, smell, or appearance of water, so the only reliable way to know whether it’s present is through water testing for radionuclides.
In Greenacres households, water plays many roles — from cooking and making ice to bathing and brushing teeth — so concerns about strontium-90 often extend beyond drinking alone. When tests show elevated levels, the objective is reducing exposure by treating water at the point it enters the home so every faucet and fixture benefits. Point-of-use devices can protect one tap, but they won’t cover the whole house; a correctly chosen whole-house system offers consistent protection for daily use throughout your Palm Beach County home.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is frequently the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. Since strontium exists as a positively charged ion similar to calcium, it can be captured by that same exchange process. For Greenacres homeowners looking for entry-point treatment, an ion exchange softener is a practical way to address dissolved strontium.
To perform well in Greenacres — where municipal water is typically hard — an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s flow and mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin’s ability to remove strontium, and routine maintenance keeps performance steady. Using a prefilter can protect the softener from sediment that accelerates wear.
