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 acts like calcium in the environment, it moves with groundwater and can enter an Edgewood home through the main supply line without any change in taste, smell, or color to warn you. The only reliable way to know if it’s present is to have your water tested specifically for radionuclides.
In Edgewood households, water is used for cooking, making ice, bathing, and brushing teeth, so concerns about strontium-90 often focus on whole-home exposure rather than a single faucet. If testing indicates elevated levels, the most effective strategy is to treat water at the point it enters your house so every fixture benefits. Point-of-use devices protect only one tap, while a properly chosen whole-house system delivers consistent coverage across daily activities—important in Central Florida where hard water and year-round outdoor use are common.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is frequently the best single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin exchanges certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same exchange process can capture positively charged contaminants like strontium, so an ion exchange softener provides treatment at the home’s entry point and can lower strontium concentrations throughout an Edgewood plumbing system.
To perform well in an Edgewood home, an ion exchange softener needs to be sized for your household’s demand and the area’s hard water mineral load. Routine regeneration with salt restores the resin’s capacity to remove strontium, and regular maintenance prevents performance issues. Adding a prefilter can protect the softener from sediment that shortens media life. Mr. Pure Water can examine your water test results and recommend a whole-house configuration tailored to Orange County conditions that targets strontium-90 without unnecessary complexity.
