Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can exist in water at trace levels. Because it behaves a lot like calcium, it moves with groundwater and can travel through distribution lines into East Mims houses without any noticeable taste, smell, or color to give a warning. The only reliable way to find out if it’s present in your water is to have testing performed specifically for radionuclides.
In East Mims households, water is used for cooking, making ice, bathing, and brushing teeth — everyday activities where water safety matters. If testing indicates elevated strontium-90, reducing exposure means treating water at the point it enters the home so every faucet and shower receives protection. Point-of-use devices protect a single tap, but a whole-house system offers consistent coverage for the full range of household uses common in Brevard County homes.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin trades certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. Because strontium is chemically similar to calcium, the ion exchange process can capture positively charged strontium ions as water flows through the tank. For East Mims households looking for entry-point treatment that covers every fixture, an ion exchange softener is a practical and straightforward choice.
To perform well in East Mims’ groundwater conditions and moderate hardness, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s water use and mineral load. Periodic regeneration with salt restores the resin’s ability to remove strontium, and routine maintenance prevents performance drops. Adding a prefilter helps keep sediment and biofilm from shortening media life in our warm, humid climate. Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a whole-house configuration that targets strontium-90 without unnecessary complexity.
