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 acts much like calcium, it moves with groundwater and can enter a house through the main service line without any change in taste, smell, or appearance to warn you. The only reliable way to know whether it’s present is to have your water tested specifically for radionuclides—something Boulevard Gardens homeowners should consider when evaluating water safety.
In everyday life strontium-90 is relevant to all the ways we use water—drinking, cooking, making ice, bathing, and brushing teeth. If testing indicates elevated levels, the objective becomes reducing exposure by treating water at the point it enters the house so every faucet is covered. Single point-of-use filters protect only one tap, whereas a correctly installed whole-house system delivers consistent treatment across showers, laundry, and all fixtures used in Boulevard Gardens homes.
A whole-house water softener, using ion exchange, is often the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same exchange mechanism can capture positively charged contaminants like strontium, so an ion exchange softener is a practical choice when you want treatment at the home’s entry point and coverage for every tap in Boulevard Gardens.
To perform well, an ion exchange softener must be sized to your household’s water use and mineral load, and it needs regular regeneration with salt to refresh the resin so it continues removing strontium. In South Florida’s humid subtropical climate, routine maintenance is also important to limit biofilm growth in plumbing and filters. Prefiltration can protect the resin from sediment and prolong service life. Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup for Boulevard Gardens that targets strontium-90 effectively and keeps system maintenance manageable.
