Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can appear in water at very low concentrations. Because it behaves much like calcium, it moves with groundwater and can enter a house through the main supply line that feeds Ortona properties. There’s no reliable taste, smell, or color to signal its presence, so the only way to know if it’s in your supply is by having a lab test for radionuclides.
In Ortona and nearby Volusia County communities, water is used for cooking, ice, bathing and brushing teeth — tasks that can increase contact with contaminants when they’re present. Point-of-use filters protect a single faucet, but they leave the rest of your home exposed. If testing shows elevated strontium-90, the most reliable strategy is to treat water at the entry point so every fixture in your home benefits consistently.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin exchanges dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same exchange can capture positively charged contaminants like strontium, so installing an ion exchange softener at your Ortona service line provides treatment for the entire house at the point of entry.
To be effective for Ortona homes — where water tends to be moderately hard and coastal humidity can contribute to mineral and corrosion concerns — an ion exchange softener must be sized to your household’s water use and mineral load. Routine regeneration with salt restores the resin’s capacity to remove strontium, and prefiltration helps prevent sediment from fouling the media. Mr. Pure Water can evaluate your water test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup that targets strontium-90 without unnecessary complexity.
