Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can occur at very low levels in water. Because it behaves much like calcium, it travels with groundwater and can enter a house through the main supply line, whether you’re on a municipal connection or a private well in Bithlo. There’s no reliable taste, smell, or color to warn you it’s present, so the only way to know is through testing specifically for radionuclides.
In Bithlo households, water is used for everything from drinking and cooking to bathing and making ice, so any concern about strontium-90 tends to be about total household exposure. If tests indicate elevated levels, the aim is to treat water at the point it enters your home so every fixture is covered. Point-of-use devices protect a single faucet, but they won’t safeguard showers, washing machines, or outdoor hoses; a whole-house system gives consistent protection across daily water use in neighborhoods across Orange County.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is commonly the most effective single-filter approach for reducing strontium-90 because the resin exchanges certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That exchange mechanism can also capture positively charged contaminants like strontium, so installing an ion exchange softener at your Bithlo home’s main line treats water before it reaches any tap.
To be effective in Bithlo’s moderate-hardness water, an ion exchange softener needs to be sized to your household’s flow and mineral load and maintained with regular salt regeneration to restore the resin’s capacity. Prefiltration to remove sediment helps protect the media and extend service life. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results and recommend a whole-house softener and prefilter configuration that targets strontium-90 while fitting the demands of homes in the Orlando metro area.
