Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can move with groundwater because it behaves like calcium. It doesn’t change the water’s taste, smell, or appearance, so you wouldn’t notice it in the faucet. The only reliable way to determine whether it’s present in your Orangetree supply is with water testing that specifically looks for radionuclides.
In an Orangetree home, drinking water gets used for cooking, making ice, bathing, and brushing teeth — so any contaminant in the main line can affect daily life. Point-of-use filters protect a single tap, but they won’t stop contaminants from reaching showers, washing machines, or outdoor spigots. When testing indicates elevated levels, treating water at the entry point with a whole-house system gives coverage across the household and consistent protection for all routine uses.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the single most effective filter type for reducing strontium-90, because the resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium and can capture positively charged contaminants like strontium. Installed at the main line into your Orangetree property, this approach treats water before it reaches fixtures and appliances, making it a practical solution for entry-point protection.
To perform well in Southwest Florida conditions, an ion exchange softener should be sized for your household’s typical usage and the mineral content of your water. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin’s capacity to remove strontium, and routine maintenance plus good prefiltration helps prevent sediment from shortening media life. Mr. Pure Water can review your Orangetree water test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup that targets strontium-90 effectively without unnecessary complexity.
