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 acts much like calcium, it travels with groundwater and can enter a Conway home through the main service line. There’s no dependable taste, smell, or color to signal its presence, so the only reliable way to detect it is with lab testing that looks specifically for radionuclides.
In Conway households strontium-90 is relevant not just for drinking, but for cooking, making ice, bathing, and oral care. If testing reveals concerning levels, the aim is to treat incoming water so every faucet and fixture is covered. Single point-of-use devices protect only one outlet; for consistent protection across a home in the Orlando metro area, a properly chosen whole-house system is the better option.
A whole-house water softener is often the most effective single-filter option for removing strontium-90 because it relies on ion exchange. The resin in the softener swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium and can also capture positively charged contaminants like strontium. Since strontium-90 behaves chemically as strontium, it can be reduced by that same exchange process, making an ion exchange softener a practical choice at the home's point of entry.
To perform well in Conway’s typically hard water, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household water use and mineral load. Routine regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues to remove strontium, and regular maintenance keeps the system working reliably. Pairing the softener with a prefilter can help protect the resin from sediment and extend its life; Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results and recommend a whole-house setup tailored to your home.
