Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can travel with groundwater and reach a home's plumbing via the main service line. Because it behaves much like calcium, it dissolves and moves with mineral-rich water rather than announcing itself — there’s no dependable taste, smell, or color to signal its presence. The only way to know whether your Lake Mary Jane water contains this radionuclide is to have targeted water testing for radionuclides performed.
In Lake Mary Jane households, water is used for much more than drinking — cooking, ice makers, bathing, and brushing teeth all expose your family to whatever’s in the pipes. Point-of-use devices can protect a single faucet, but they won’t shield showers, laundry, or outdoor spigots. If testing finds elevated strontium-90, the most reliable strategy is treatment at the point where water enters your home so every tap around Lake Mary Jane benefits.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most practical single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin exchanges dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. Because strontium is chemically similar to calcium, the softener’s resin can capture positively charged strontium ions as water passes through the tank. For Lake Mary Jane homeowners looking for treatment at the entry point, an ion exchange softener is a straightforward choice that treats the entire household supply.
To perform well in Central Florida’s hard, mineral-rich groundwater, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your Lake Mary Jane household’s water use and mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues to remove strontium over time, and routine upkeep prevents performance drops. Using a prefilter can also reduce sediment exposure and extend media life. Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup that targets strontium-90 without unnecessary complexity.
