Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive variant of strontium that may appear in water at very low concentrations. Because it behaves like calcium, it can dissolve in groundwater and travel through the main line into a house without any noticeable taste, smell, or color to warn you. The only reliable way to confirm its presence is with laboratory testing that looks specifically for radionuclides.
Westlake homeowners use water for much more than drinking — cooking, ice, bathing, and toothbrushing all rely on the same supply — so test results that show elevated strontium-90 typically lead to treating water at the entry point. Single faucet filters protect one outlet but leave the rest of your home exposed; a correctly chosen whole-house system delivers consistent treatment to every fixture, which is especially helpful in Palm Beach County homes where hard water and limescale are common.
For whole-home treatment of strontium-90, an ion exchange water softener is often the single most effective filter type because it swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. The resin bed inside the softener captures positively charged ions — including strontium — through that exchange process, so installing a softener at the main line can reduce strontium as water is distributed throughout your Westlake residence.
An ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s flow and the mineral load common in Palm Beach County’s hard water to perform well. Routine regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues removing strontium over time, and prefiltration helps keep sediment from fouling the media. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results and recommend a whole-house softener and prefilter combination that targets strontium-90 while fitting the needs of Westlake homes.
