Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can exist in water at very low concentrations. Because it acts like calcium in nature, it can dissolve into groundwater and travel through distribution lines before reaching a Palm Beach home. You won’t detect it by taste, smell, or sight, so the only reliable way to know whether it’s present is a lab test that looks for radionuclides.
In Palm Beach households, water is used for cooking, making ice, bathing and oral care—so any contaminant that reaches the plumbing can become part of daily life. If testing finds elevated strontium-90, the most protective strategy is to treat water at the point it enters the house so every tap is covered. Point-of-use filters protect a single fixture, but a whole-house system delivers consistent treatment across your home, from the kitchen to outdoor hoses used in our humid, tropical monsoon climate.
A whole-house water softener that uses 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. Because strontium behaves chemically like other positively charged minerals, the ion exchange process can capture it along with hardness minerals that commonly affect Palm Beach County’s hard water. Installing treatment at the main line means the system treats water before it reaches fixtures and appliances.
To perform well in a Palm Beach home, an ion exchange softener should be sized to your household’s water use and the local mineral content. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin’s ability to remove strontium over time, and routine maintenance keeps the system reliable—especially in hard-water areas where limescale can stress plumbing. Using a quality prefilter can protect the resin from sediment, and Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup tailored to your Palm Beach property.
