Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can appear in water at trace levels. Because it acts much like calcium, it moves with groundwater and can enter a house through the main supply line, and there are no reliable tastes, odors, or visible changes to signal its presence. The only way to know if strontium-90 is in your Naples Park water is through specific laboratory testing for radionuclides.
In everyday life, water is not only for drinking in Naples Park — it’s used for cooking, ice, showering, and oral care — so testing that shows elevated strontium-90 typically leads homeowners to treat water at the point it enters the property. Single-faucet, point-of-use filters protect one location, but won’t cover appliances, outdoor hoses, or other fixtures; a whole-house system installed at the main line delivers consistent treatment across the home and helps address exposures from routine water use.
When the goal is reducing strontium-90 throughout a residence, a whole-house water softener using ion exchange is commonly the most effective single-filter option. The softener’s resin exchanges certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium, and that same exchange process can capture positively charged contaminants like strontium. For Naples Park homeowners wanting treatment at the entry point to protect every tap, an ion exchange softener is a practical, widely used choice.
An ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s flow and the mineral load of your source water — in Collier County, where hard water is common, choosing the right capacity is especially important. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues removing strontium, and routine maintenance plus a prefilter to trap sediment will help the media last longer. Mr. Pure Water can review your Naples Park test results and recommend a whole-house configuration that targets strontium-90 effectively without adding unnecessary complexity.
