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 behaves a lot like calcium, it moves with groundwater and can enter a house through the main supply without any taste, odor, or visible change to warn you. The only reliable way to know whether it’s present in your Brickell Hammock water is a laboratory test targeted at radionuclides.
In Brickell Hammock households, water is used for more than drinking — it’s for cooking, making ice, bathing, and brushing teeth — so any contamination can affect daily life across the home. Point-of-use filters protect a single faucet, but they leave the rest of the house exposed. If testing shows elevated strontium-90, installing a whole-house system gives consistent treatment to every fixture in your Miami-Dade County home instead of treating just one tap.
A whole-house water softener that uses ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter choice for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. Since strontium-90 is chemically strontium, the exchange process can capture it along with other positively charged ions. For Brickell Hammock homes on hard Miami-area water, an ion exchange softener treats incoming water at the point of entry, giving broad coverage throughout the house.
To perform well in Brickell Hammock’s hard, mineral-rich water, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household demand and the water’s mineral content. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues to remove strontium, and routine maintenance plus a good prefilter helps protect the media from sediment and scale. Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup tailored for homes in the Miami area.
