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 mimics calcium chemically, it moves with groundwater and can enter homes through the main service line, with no taste, smell, or visible sign to reveal it. The only reliable way to know whether Strontium-90 is present in an Indian River Estates property’s water is through laboratory testing for radionuclides.
Families in Indian River Estates use water for cooking, ice, bathing and brushing teeth, so water-quality concerns extend beyond a single sink. If testing for strontium-90 shows elevated results, the practical objective is to lower exposure by treating water at the point it enters the home. While a point-of-use filter can protect one faucet, it won’t cover whole-house needs; a correctly chosen whole-house system guards every fixture and offers consistent treatment for everyday use in homes around the Treasure Coast.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90, because the resin media swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same ion-exchange action can capture positively charged contaminants like strontium, so installing a softener at the entry point provides continuous treatment for the entire plumbing system in an Indian River Estates home.
To perform well in Indian River Estates—where hard water and mineral scale are common—an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s water use and overall mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin’s ability to remove strontium over time, and routine maintenance plus a good prefilter to block sediment helps preserve media life. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup that targets Strontium-90 without making the system more complex than necessary.
