Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can dissolve into groundwater and travel through the main service line into homes. Because it acts like calcium, it can move with subsurface water and won’t announce itself with taste, odor, or color—testing for radionuclides is the only reliable way to detect it. If you live in Kings Bay or elsewhere in Nassau County and are concerned about radioisotopes, a targeted lab test is the place to start.
In Kings Bay households, water is used for cooking, ice, bathing and brushing teeth, so any contaminant found in the supply matters for everyday routines. Point-of-use devices can protect a single faucet, but they leave the rest of your plumbing and appliances exposed—an important consideration in our humid, hard-water coastal environment where scale builds up. A whole-house approach treats water at the entry point, giving consistent protection for all fixtures and household uses.
When the goal is to reduce strontium-90 throughout the home, a whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter solution. The softener’s resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium and can also capture positively charged contaminants like strontium. Because strontium-90 behaves chemically as strontium, an ion exchange system installed at the Kings Bay service entry can lower its concentration as water moves into your plumbing.
To perform well in Kings Bay’s hard, mineral-rich water and humid coastal climate, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household demand and total dissolved minerals. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin’s capacity to remove strontium, and routine maintenance helps avoid premature wear—prefiltration can protect the media from sediment and reduce scale-related issues in plumbing and appliances. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test and recommend a properly sized whole-house softener setup that targets strontium-90 while keeping your system simple and reliable.
