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 travel with groundwater and enter an Indrio house through the main service line. There’s no dependable taste, smell, or visible sign to warn you it’s present, so the only way to know is with water testing that includes radionuclide analysis.
In homes around Indrio and St. Lucie County, water is part of daily life—drinking, cooking, bathing, ice and toothbrushing—so any contaminant in the supply affects the whole household. If tests indicate elevated strontium-90, the aim is to reduce exposure by treating water at the entry point so every faucet and appliance is covered. Point-of-use filters help a single tap but won’t protect plumbing, showers or appliances; a correctly chosen whole-house system gives more consistent protection across all uses.
For strontium-90, a whole-house water softener using ion exchange is frequently the most effective single-filter option. The resin in the softener swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium and can also remove other positively charged ions like strontium. Because strontium-90 behaves chemically like strontium, it can be reduced by that exchange process, making an ion exchange softener a practical choice for treating the water as it enters Indrio homes.
To be effective in Indrio’s typically hard water, an ion exchange softener needs to be sized for your household’s demand and overall mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues to capture strontium, and routine maintenance helps sustain performance. Using a prefilter can protect the resin from sediment—important in our area to reduce scale and extend media life—while Mr. Pure Water can review your water test and recommend a whole-house softener setup tailored to remove strontium-90 without unnecessary complexity.
