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 behaves much like calcium, it can travel with groundwater and enter a house through the main supply line without changing the water’s taste, smell, or appearance. The only reliable way to know whether it’s present in your North Palm Beach home is to test your water specifically for radionuclides.
You use household water for more than drinking — cooking, ice, bathing and brushing teeth all draw from the same supply. Point-of-use filters protect a single faucet, but won’t cover showers, washing machines, or outdoor spigots common around Lakeview and Harbor Village. If testing in Palm Beach County shows elevated strontium-90, treating water at the entry point with a whole-house system is the best way to reduce exposure across every fixture in your North Palm Beach home.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter choice for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same exchange process can capture positively charged contaminants like strontium, so an ion exchange softener installed at the main line treats water before it reaches faucets and appliances throughout North Palm Beach.
For reliable performance in our hard North Palm Beach water, an ion exchange softener must be sized to your household’s usage and mineral load and require regular salt regeneration to refresh the resin. Installing quality prefiltration helps protect the media from sediment that can be found in some local supplies and extends system life. Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a properly sized whole-house softener that targets strontium-90 without adding unnecessary complexity.
