Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can show up in water at trace levels. Because it acts much like calcium, it moves with groundwater and can enter a house through the main line without any taste, odor, or visible sign to warn you. The only reliable way to know whether it’s present in your Isles of Capri water is a laboratory test for radionuclides tailored to detect strontium and its related forms.
In coastal Collier County homes — including Isles of Capri properties that use water for cooking, ice, bathing, and dental hygiene — concerns about drinking-water contaminants often prompt testing. If results show elevated strontium-90 or its other names, reducing exposure means treating water at the point it enters the house so every faucet and shower is covered. Point-of-use devices protect a single tap, but a whole-house system gives consistent protection across daily uses and the home’s plumbing, which in our salty, storm-exposed climate can already face scale and corrosion challenges.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is frequently the most practical single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same exchange process can capture positively charged contaminants like strontium, so an appropriately selected softener treats water right at the entry point to an Isles of Capri home. This approach also addresses hard-water issues common around Marco Island and Naples while delivering treated water to every fixture.
To be effective, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s demand and the high mineral content typical of hard water in this area. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin’s capacity to remove strontium over time, and routine maintenance prevents performance drops. Many homeowners pair a softener with a sediment prefilter to shield the media from sand and particulate that can shorten its life—something to consider for Isles of Capri homes exposed to coastal conditions; Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend the right whole-house setup.
