Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can occur in water at very low concentrations. Because it acts much like calcium, it can dissolve into supply lines and travel with groundwater or piped water into your house through the main line. There’s no reliable taste, smell, or color to warn Marathon Shores residents that it’s present, so the only way to know is by testing specifically for radionuclides.
In Marathon Shores we use water for everything from cooking and ice to bathing and brushing teeth, so concerns about strontium-90 often come up when homeowners review drinking water safety. If tests show elevated levels, the best way to lower household exposure is to treat water at the point it enters the home so all faucets and appliances benefit. Point-of-use devices protect a single tap, but they won’t shield your plumbing or outdoor spigots; a correctly selected whole-house system gives consistent protection across daily use in a Keys home.
For reducing 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. Because strontium-90 is chemically strontium, ion exchange can lower its concentration, making a softener a practical entry-point treatment for Marathon Shores houses served by the Keys Aqueduct or local plumbing.
An ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s water usage and the hard, mineral-rich water common in Marathon Shores to perform well. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues to reduce strontium over time, and routine maintenance — plus prefiltration to remove sediment and protect the media — keeps the system reliable. Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup tailored to Marathon Shores homes and coastal plumbing concerns.
