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 groundwater. Because it behaves like calcium, it travels with groundwater and can enter a house through the main supply line with no obvious taste, smell, or color to announce its presence. In rural Okeelanta and the surrounding Glades area, the only reliable way to know whether strontium-90 or other radionuclides are present is to have a targeted water test for radionuclides performed on your source water.
Families use water throughout the home—for cooking, making ice, bathing, and brushing teeth—so any contaminant in the supply may affect everyday activities. While a point-of-use filter can reduce strontium-90 at a single sink or refrigerator, it won’t protect showers, laundry, or outdoor spigots in an Okeelanta property. For broad protection in a rural, hard-water area near Lake Okeechobee, a whole-house system that treats water at the entry point gives consistent coverage for all fixtures and daily uses.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most practical single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. Since strontium is chemically similar to calcium, the same exchange process that softens hard water can also capture positively charged strontium ions. For many Okeelanta homes—where hard groundwater and higher mineral content are common—an ion exchange softener provides treatment right at the home’s main line so every tap benefits.
To be effective in the Palm Beach County Glades area, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s flow rate and the local mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin’s capacity to remove strontium over time, and routine maintenance plus a quality prefilter helps protect the media from sediment and scale common in hard Okeelanta groundwater. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test and recommend the right whole-house softener and prefiltration setup for reliable, long-term performance.
