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 much like calcium, it can travel with groundwater and enter a house through the main line, and there’s no reliable taste, smell, or color to reveal its presence. The only dependable way to know if it’s in your supply is to have water testing that includes radionuclides — something we recommend for Sebastian homeowners concerned about their tap water.
You rely on your water for cooking, ice, bathing and brushing teeth, so questions about strontium-90 often come up when homeowners in Sebastian and Indian River County think about overall water safety. If tests show elevated levels, the best strategy is to treat water at the main entry so every faucet and appliance is served. Point-of-use devices only protect a single outlet, while a correctly chosen whole-house system delivers consistent treatment throughout your home — valuable in areas like Sebastian where hard water affects fixtures and appliances.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same exchange process can capture positively charged contaminants such as strontium, so an ion exchange softener treats the water at the entry point to the home and can lower strontium concentrations while also addressing hard-water minerals common in Sebastian.
For reliable performance, an ion exchange softener should be sized to your household’s usage and the mineral load of your water; in Sebastian’s hard-water conditions, proper sizing and regular regeneration with salt are key to keeping the resin effective against strontium over time. Pairing the softener with quality prefiltration helps protect the media from sediment and extends service life. Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup tailored to Sebastian homes so you get effective strontium-90-targeted treatment without unnecessary complexity.
