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 behaves like calcium, it can travel with groundwater and enter a residence through the main supply line—so there’s no reliable taste, smell, or color to signal its presence. The only way to know whether strontium-90 is in your water is to have a laboratory test for radionuclides, especially if you live in South Clewiston or elsewhere in Hendry County near Lake Okeechobee.
Strontium-90 is discussed most often around drinking water safety, but household uses — cooking, making ice, bathing, and brushing teeth — can also bring you into contact with treated water. If testing finds elevated strontium-90, the objective is to lower exposure by treating water at the point it enters your home so every faucet and shower is covered. Point-of-use devices only protect a single tap; a correctly chosen whole-house system gives consistent protection across all daily water use in South Clewiston.
When the goal is to reduce strontium-90 throughout the home, a whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter option. The resin inside the softener swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium and can also capture positively charged contaminants like strontium. Because strontium-90 is chemically strontium, it can be reduced by this exchange process, making an ion exchange softener a practical entry-point treatment for homes in South Clewiston.
An ion exchange softener must be properly sized for your household’s water use and the local mineral load—South Clewiston’s hard, mineral-rich groundwater and South Florida heat can encourage scale buildup and increase demand on the resin. Regular regeneration with salt restores the media so it continues to remove strontium, and routine maintenance plus prefiltration to remove sediment will extend system life. Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup tailored for South Clewiston homes that targets strontium-90 without adding unnecessary complexity.
