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 like calcium, it moves with groundwater and may enter a home through the main service line without any telltale taste, smell, or color. In Naples, where many properties face hard water and corrosion, the only dependable way to know whether strontium-90 is present is by having your water tested for radionuclides.
You use water for far more than drinking—cooking, ice, bathing, and brushing teeth all matter for household exposure. If testing reveals elevated strontium-90, treating water at the point it enters your Naples home is the most consistent way to reduce contact across every faucet and shower. Point-of-use devices can protect a sink or refrigerator, but they won’t guard whole-house uses; a properly chosen whole-house system covers daily needs for families in Collier County neighborhoods from Old Naples to Pelican Bay.
For whole-house treatment of strontium-90, an ion exchange water softener is often the most effective single-filter option because it replaces certain dissolved ions with sodium or potassium. The resin inside the softener swaps positively charged ions—including strontium—for the exchange ions, so a properly configured softener can reduce strontium-90 at the home’s entry point. For Naples homeowners dealing with hard water and coastal conditions, an ion exchange system offers practical, whole-house coverage.
An ion exchange softener must be sized to your household’s water use and the mineral load to perform well. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin’s capacity to remove strontium over time, and routine maintenance helps sustain effectiveness—especially in hard-water Naples homes where scale can be an issue. Prefiltration to remove sediment commonly extends media life. Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a whole-house setup tailored to Naples properties so the system targets strontium-90 without unnecessary complexity.
