Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can travel with groundwater and show up in household water supplies. Because it acts like calcium, it moves through aquifers and can enter homes through the main service line without any taste, odor, or visible sign. The only reliable way to know whether it’s present in your Orange City water—whether you draw from municipal groundwater or a private well—is to run a lab test that looks specifically for radionuclides.
Families use water for much more than drinking: cooking, ice makers, bathing, and brushing teeth all rely on the same supply. If testing in Volusia County indicates elevated strontium-90, the safest approach is to treat the water at the point it enters your house so every faucet and appliance is protected. Point-of-use cartridges can guard a single tap, but in Orange City homes—where hard groundwater is common—a whole-house system gives broader protection across daily household use.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the best single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same ion exchange process can capture positively charged contaminants like strontium, so installing a properly sized softener at the main line treats water before it reaches fixtures and appliances in Orange City homes.
To perform well in Orange City’s typically hard groundwater, an ion exchange softener needs the right capacity for your household’s flow and mineral load. Scheduled regeneration with salt restores the resin’s ability to remove strontium over time, and basic maintenance keeps the system reliable. Often we recommend adding prefiltration to reduce sediment that can wear the media faster. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup sized for your home and local water conditions.
