Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can occur at trace levels in drinking water. Because it acts a lot like calcium, it moves with groundwater and can enter a house through the main supply line without any taste, smell, or visible sign. The only reliable way to confirm its presence in Lely water is a lab test for radionuclides targeted at strontium-90.
Families in Lely use water constantly for cooking, ice, showers and brushing teeth, so when strontium-90 is a concern the aim is to treat water at the point it enters the home. Single faucet or point-of-use filters protect only one outlet; they won’t cover irrigation, laundry, or showers. A whole-house system gives consistent treatment to every fixture in your home—helpful in Collier County where year-round use and hard, mineral-rich water make comprehensive protection a smart choice.
When removing strontium-90, a whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter option. The resin in the softener swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium and can also capture positively charged contaminants like strontium, so chemically identical strontium-90 is reduced through that exchange process. For Lely homeowners who want treatment at the entry point, an ion exchange softener is a practical and widely used choice.
To be effective in Lely’s hard, mineral-rich groundwater, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s flow and mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin’s capacity to remove strontium and routine maintenance preserves performance; using a good prefilter also protects the resin from sediment that could shorten its service life. Mr. Pure Water can look over your water test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup that targets strontium-90 while matching the needs of homes in the Lely area.
