Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that may occur at very low concentrations in water. Because it acts much like calcium, it can dissolve in groundwater, travel with supply lines, and enter a Broadview Park home through the main service. You won’t detect it by taste, smell, or sight—testing targeted at radionuclides is the only reliable way to know whether strontium-90 is present.
Families in Broward County use water for drinking, cooking, ice, bathing and oral care, so any contaminant that appears in the supply affects everyday activities. Point-of-use filters protect a single faucet, but they leave the rest of your Broadview Park plumbing and appliances exposed. If testing shows elevated strontium-90, the safer choice is treatment at the home entry so every fixture and water-using device benefits consistently.
A whole-house water softener employing 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. Because strontium behaves chemically like other positively charged minerals, the softener’s resin can capture it as water passes through. For Broadview Park homes seeking entry-point treatment, an ion exchange softener provides practical, homewide coverage.
To perform well in Broadview Park’s typically hard water, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s demand and mineral load. Routine regeneration with salt restores the resin so it keeps removing strontium over time, and regular maintenance prevents performance loss. Adding a prefilter can reduce sediment exposure to the media and extend its life. Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a properly sized whole-house softener that targets strontium-90 without unnecessary complexity.
