Strontium-90 in Paradise Park Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of Strontium-90 in the Water Supply of Paradise Park Florida Homes

Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can occur in water at very low concentrations and moves through groundwater much like calcium does. Because it behaves chemically like calcium, it can dissolve and travel with your water supply and enter Paradise Park homes through the main service line. There’s no taste, odor, or visible sign to reveal its presence, so the only reliable way to know if it’s in your water is a lab test that includes radionuclides.

In Paradise Park households, water is used for cooking, making ice, bathing, and oral hygiene — not just drinking — so any contaminant that reaches the lines matters throughout the home. If testing finds elevated strontium-90, the safest approach is to treat water at the point it enters the house so every fixture receives protection. Point-of-use devices can safeguard a single tap, but they won’t cover showers, laundry, or outdoor hose connections; a correctly chosen whole-house system gives consistent treatment for daily use across your property.
