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. 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 alert you. The only way to know whether it’s present in your Coral Terrace water is to have targeted radionuclide testing performed.
In Coral Terrace households, water is used for drinking, cooking, ice, bathing and brushing teeth — so any contaminant in the supply can affect many daily activities. Point-of-use filters protect a single tap, but they won’t treat water used by your water heater, washing machine, or outdoor spigots. For broader coverage across Miami-Dade’s hard-water system, a whole-house solution delivers consistent treatment to every fixture and appliance.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter option for reducing 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 installing a properly configured softener at the Coral Terrace service entry point treats water before it reaches any faucet.
To perform well in Miami-Dade’s typically hard water, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s usage and mineral load, and it needs routine regeneration with salt to refresh the resin. Adding good prefiltration helps keep sediment from shortening media life, and regular maintenance preserves long-term performance. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test and recommend a whole-house softener setup for Coral Terrace that targets strontium-90 while protecting plumbing and appliances.
