Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can occur in water at very low concentrations. Because it mimics calcium chemically, it moves with groundwater and can enter San Castle houses through the main supply line. There’s no reliable taste, smell, or color to give it away, so the only dependable way to know if it’s present is a water test that includes radionuclides.
In San Castle homes, water is used for cooking, making ice, bathing and brushing teeth — daily activities where strontium-90 could matter if testing shows elevated levels. Treating the main water entry protects every fixture; a single point-of-use filter only covers one tap. For consistent protection across a humid subtropical Florida home, a correctly chosen whole-house system provides treatment at every outlet.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most practical single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same exchange process can capture positively charged contaminants like strontium, so installing an ion exchange softener at the entry point can lower strontium-90 concentrations throughout a San Castle household.
To be effective in a San Castle residence, an ion exchange softener needs proper sizing for your household’s water use and the mineral content reported by your local water quality report. Routine regeneration with salt and periodic maintenance keep the resin working to remove strontium over time, and adding prefiltration helps prevent sediment from degrading the media. Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend an appropriately sized whole-house softener that targets strontium-90 without adding unnecessary complexity.
