Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can appear in water at trace levels and behaves much like calcium in the environment. Because it can move with groundwater and dissolved minerals, it may enter a house through the main water line without any change in taste, smell, or color to warn you. The only reliable way to detect it is with laboratory testing that targets radionuclides — something Coral Gables homeowners can include when checking their water quality.
In Coral Gables households, water is used for drinking, cooking, bathing, ice, and brushing teeth, so any contaminant found in supply water matters throughout the home. Point-of-use filters help at a single faucet but leave the rest of the house exposed — showers, appliances, and outdoor hoses still draw from the same source. If testing indicates elevated strontium-90, installing treatment at the home’s entry point gives consistent protection across all fixtures and daily uses typical of Miami-Dade County living.
When treating strontium-90 at the main line, a whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter option. The resin inside a softener swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium and can capture positively charged contaminants like strontium, reducing their concentration before water reaches your plumbing. For Coral Gables homes — where hard water from the limestone aquifer is common — an ion exchange softener can address both hardness and strontium through the same exchange mechanism.
An ion exchange softener must be sized to your household’s flow and the mineral load to perform well in Coral Gables’ hard-water conditions. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues to remove strontium over time, and routine maintenance prevents loss of efficiency. Often a coarse prefilter is added ahead of the softener to catch sediment and protect the media. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup that targets strontium-90 while also managing scale for appliances and plumbing in your Gables home.
