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 may enter Juno Ridge houses through the main service line. There’s no reliable taste, smell, or visible sign that it’s present, so the only way to know is with water testing that specifically looks for radionuclides.
You use your water for more than drinking — in Juno Ridge that includes cooking, making ice, bathing and brushing teeth — so when testing identifies elevated strontium-90 the goal is to reduce exposure at every outlet. Point-of-use filters protect single taps, but they don’t cover showers, laundry, or outdoor spigots. A properly chosen whole-house system treats water at the entry point, giving consistent protection across the home and daily routines.
A whole-house water softener that uses ion exchange is often the single most effective filter 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 ion exchange softener provides treatment at the home’s main line — a practical choice for Juno Ridge homeowners seeking broad coverage.
To perform well in Juno Ridge’s hard-water conditions, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s water use and mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues removing strontium, and routine maintenance keeps the system reliable. Prefiltration can protect the resin from sediment and coastal grit that can shorten media life; Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a whole-house setup suited to Palm Beach County conditions without unnecessary complexity.
