Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can dissolve in groundwater and travel into homes through the main water line. Because it acts like calcium, it moves with water and won’t give off a taste, smell, or color to warn you. The only reliable way for Patrick AFB homeowners to know if it’s present is a lab test specifically for radionuclides.
You use household water for cooking, making ice, bathing, and brushing teeth, so concerns about strontium-90 often tie directly to everyday routines. If testing shows elevated levels, the objective is to treat water at the entry point so every faucet and shower in your Patrick AFB residence is covered. Point-of-use devices can protect a single tap, but a whole-house system gives consistent protection across your home and daily activities.
A whole-house water softener that relies on ion exchange is commonly the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. Since strontium is chemically similar to calcium, it can be captured by the same exchange process, making an ion exchange softener a practical choice for treating incoming water to a Patrick AFB home.
To be effective in Brevard County’s typically hard water, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s water use and mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt refreshes the resin so it continues removing strontium, and routine maintenance prevents performance drops. Using prefiltration can shield the resin from sediment that shortens its life. Mr. Pure Water can review your Patrick AFB test results and recommend a whole-house setup that targets strontium-90 without unnecessary complexity.
