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 moves with groundwater and can enter a residence through the main service line, with no reliable taste, smell, or color to indicate its presence. The only way to confirm whether your Lely Resort tap water contains strontium-90 is to have targeted radionuclide testing performed.
In Lely Resort households, water is used for drinking, cooking, making ice, bathing, and oral care—so any contaminant found in the supply can affect many daily activities. If testing identifies elevated strontium-90, the practical aim is to reduce household exposure by treating water at the point it enters the house. Point-of-use filters protect a single faucet, but they won’t safeguard the rest of your plumbing or appliances; a properly chosen whole-house system provides consistent protection across every fixture in your home.
A whole-house water softener that uses ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter method for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same exchange process can capture positively charged contaminants such as strontium, making an ion exchange softener a practical, entry-point treatment for Lely Resort homes where you want coverage at every tap.
To be effective in Collier County water, an ion exchange softener should be sized for your household’s water use and the hardness common in Lely Resort so the resin can be regenerated regularly with salt. Routine maintenance and proper regeneration keep the media working to reduce strontium over time, and adding prefiltration helps prevent sediment from shortening the resin’s life. Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup tailored to Lely Resort conditions without adding unnecessary complexity.
