Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can occur at trace levels in water. Because it acts much like calcium, it can dissolve into groundwater and travel through pipes to reach homes in the Chain O'Lakes area. There’s no reliable taste, smell, or visible sign that it’s present, so the only way to know if it’s in your water is to have testing that includes radionuclides.
Whether your property in Lake County draws from a well or the municipal system, water is used for drinking, cooking, ice, bathing, and brushing teeth — everyday activities where exposure can occur. If testing finds elevated strontium-90, the objective is to treat water at the entry point so all fixtures are covered. Point-of-use devices can help a single tap, but they won’t protect showers, laundry, or outdoor spigots; a whole-house solution gives consistent protection across your home.
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. Since strontium behaves like other positively charged minerals, it can be captured by that exchange process. For many homeowners around Chain O'Lakes, an ion exchange softener provides entry-point treatment that also addresses the hard, mineral-rich water common in Central Florida.
To perform well, an ion exchange softener must be sized based on your household’s water use and the overall mineral load — important considerations in hard-water areas like Chain O'Lakes and nearby communities such as Leesburg or Mount Dora. Routine regeneration with salt restores the resin’s ability to remove strontium over time, and basic maintenance plus a quality prefilter helps keep sediment from shortening media life. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup that targets strontium-90 without making the system more complicated than necessary.
