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 behaves a lot like calcium, it moves with groundwater and may enter a Wedgefield home through the main supply line without changing taste, smell, or color. The only reliable way to know whether it’s present is to have a targeted water test for radionuclides.
In Wedgefield households, water is used for everything from cooking and making ice to bathing and brushing teeth, so any concern about strontium-90 is about whole-home exposure, not just one faucet. Point-of-use filters can protect a single fixture, but they won’t treat water used for showers, laundry, or outdoor hoses. Installing a properly chosen whole-house system ensures consistent reduction across every fixture and daily activity.
When the goal is reducing strontium-90 throughout a house, a whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter choice. The softener’s resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium and can also capture positively charged contaminants like strontium, so the same exchange that reduces hardness in central Florida water can also lower strontium levels at the entry point to your home.
To be effective for a Wedgefield property, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s daily water use and the moderate mineral content typical of the area. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin’s capacity to remove strontium, and routine maintenance plus good prefiltration will help protect the media from sediment during heavy summer rains.
