Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can dissolve in groundwater and travel through distribution lines into a home. Because it mimics calcium in water chemistry, it can move with the same groundwater that supplies wells and local systems around Immokalee. It won’t change the taste, smell, or appearance of your water, so the only dependable way to find it is with a lab test that looks for radionuclides.
In Immokalee, residents use water for cooking, making ice, bathing, and brushing teeth just like anywhere else — so drinking water concerns extend to everyday household uses. If tests indicate elevated strontium-90, the strategy is to limit exposure by treating water before it reaches fixtures throughout the house. Point-of-use filters can protect a single tap, but they won’t cover laundry, showers, or outdoor spigots; a properly chosen whole-house system gives consistent protection for all typical household water use in Collier County homes.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most practical single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. Because strontium is chemically similar to other positively charged minerals, the same exchange process that softeners use for hardness can also reduce strontium. For many Immokalee homes with hard groundwater, an ion exchange softener installed at the main water line provides treatment at every tap.
To be effective in an Immokalee household, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your family’s water use and the hardness of your source. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin’s ability to capture ions, and routine maintenance keeps performance steady—especially where seasonal heavy rains can raise sediment in private wells. Adding quality prefiltration helps protect the softener’s media from sediment and extends service life. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test and suggest a whole-house softener and prefiltration setup tailored to local conditions.
