Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can occur in water at very low concentrations. Because it mimics calcium chemically, it can dissolve into groundwater and travel through the main water line into a Davie house without any change in taste, smell, or appearance. The only reliable way to confirm its presence is with laboratory testing specifically for radionuclides.
In Davie homes, water is used for cooking, making ice, bathing and teeth brushing — everyday activities where any contaminant in the supply could be encountered. If testing indicates elevated strontium-90, the safest strategy is to treat water at the point it enters the property so every faucet and appliance receives treated water. Point-of-use options help at a single sink, but they won’t protect baths, showers or outdoor spigots; a whole-house system delivers consistent coverage for all household uses.
A whole-house water softener that uses ion exchange is often the single most effective filter for reducing strontium-90 at the home entry point. The resin in the softener swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium and can also capture other positively charged elements like strontium, so chemically similar contaminants are reduced through the same exchange process. For many Davie households dealing with hard South Florida water, an ion exchange softener provides practical entry-point treatment.
To be effective in Davie, an ion exchange softener must be sized to your household’s daily water use and the hardness common to Broward County supplies. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues removing strontium, and routine maintenance prevents performance drops. Adding a prefilter can guard the resin from sediment that shortens its life.
