Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can occur at very low concentrations in water. Because it acts like calcium, it can move with groundwater and enter Bay Lake homes through the main supply line without any taste, smell, or color to give a warning. The only dependable way to know if it’s present is to have your water tested for radionuclides by a qualified lab familiar with Orange County supplies and private connections in the Walt Disney World area.
You use household water for more than drinking — cooking, ice makers, showers, and brushing teeth all matter for exposure. Point-of-use devices only protect a single faucet, which leaves most of your home unprotected in Bay Lake and nearby Lake Buena Vista areas. If testing shows elevated strontium-90, installing treatment at the main line gives whole-house coverage so every tap and appliance benefits, especially in our humid subtropical climate where consistent water quality matters for plumbing and equipment.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter choice for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps dissolved ions like strontium for sodium or potassium. Since strontium-90 is chemically strontium, it can be captured by the same exchange process that addresses hardness minerals — a useful approach for Bay Lake homes on moderately hard water. Installing the softener at the home’s entry point treats water before it reaches fixtures, offering broad protection across the household.
To perform well, an ion exchange softener should be sized for your household’s flow and the moderate mineral content typical of the area. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues to remove strontium, and simple maintenance plus a prefilter to block sediment will extend media life — important in Central Florida’s humid climate where scale and corrosion are considerations. Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a whole-house system tailored to Bay Lake and the surrounding Orange County resort area.
