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 acts like calcium, it moves with groundwater and can enter a residence through the main supply line, with no reliable taste, smell, or color to signal its presence. The only way to know whether it’s in your Palm Bay water is to have a laboratory test for radionuclides.
Families in Palm Bay use water for cooking, ice, bathing and teeth brushing every day, so drinking-water concerns about strontium-90 affect the whole house. If testing shows higher-than-desired levels, the objective is to treat water at the point it enters your home so every faucet and shower is covered. Point-of-use devices protect a single tap, but they won’t safeguard appliances, showers or outdoor spigots; a correctly selected whole-house system gives consistent protection across your household’s daily routines.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same exchange mechanism can capture positively charged contaminants like strontium, so an ion exchange softener installed at the Palm Bay service entry treats water before it reaches fixtures and appliances.
To perform well in Palm Bay’s typically hard water, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s water use and mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues to remove strontium, and routine maintenance plus a good prefilter helps prevent sediment from shortening media life. Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup tailored to homes across Brevard County, from Port Malabar to Lockmar, that targets strontium-90 without unnecessary complexity.
