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 Hobe Sound homes through the main supply line without any change in taste, smell, or appearance. The only dependable way to know if it’s present is to run a water test that includes radionuclides.
In Hobe Sound, people use the same water for drinking, cooking, making ice, bathing, and brushing teeth, so any contaminant concerns tend to affect the whole household. If testing flags elevated strontium-90, the safest approach is to treat water at the point it enters your house so every faucet is protected. Single faucet filters can help at one spot, but a whole-house system delivers consistent coverage across daily use in homes around Jonathan Dickinson State Park, Jupiter Inlet and nearby neighborhoods.
When looking to reduce strontium-90 throughout a Hobe Sound residence, a whole-house water softener is often the most effective single-filter choice because it relies on ion exchange. The softener’s resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium and can capture positively charged contaminants like strontium. Because strontium-90 is chemically strontium, it can be reduced by this exchange process, making an ion exchange softener a practical entry-point treatment for local homes.
To perform well in Hobe Sound’s typically hard water, an ion exchange softener should be sized to your household water use and mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues to remove strontium, and routine maintenance prevents performance loss—especially important where hardness and mineral scale are common. Prefiltration can protect the resin from sediment and extend service life.
