Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can show up in water at trace levels. Because it acts much like calcium, it travels with groundwater and can enter a home through the main service line, and there’s no reliable taste, smell, or color to indicate its presence. The only way to know if it’s in your supply is through testing aimed at radionuclides — something many Broward County homeowners ask about given our reliance on local groundwater from the Biscayne Aquifer.
You use water for more than drinking — cooking, making ice, bathing, and brushing teeth all matter when contaminants are present. If testing in Broward County finds elevated strontium-90, the right approach is to treat water at the point it enters your home so every faucet and appliance is covered. Point-of-use devices help one sink, but they won’t protect showers, washing machines, or outdoor spigots; a whole-house system delivers consistent protection across daily household use.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the single-filter option best suited to reduce strontium-90, because the resin swaps dissolved ions in your water for sodium or potassium. That same exchange process can capture positively charged contaminants such as strontium, so an ion exchange softener installed at the entry point can lower levels before water reaches plumbing and appliances. In Broward County, where water is commonly hard, many homeowners choose this practical approach for whole-home treatment.
To be effective, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s flow and the mineral content typical of Broward County’s hard water. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues to remove strontium, and routine maintenance helps keep performance steady. Prefiltration to remove sediment is often recommended to protect the media, and Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results and suggest a whole-house softener setup that targets strontium-90 without adding unnecessary complexity.
