Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can appear in water at very low concentrations. Because it behaves much like calcium, it can travel with groundwater and enter Fisher Island residences through the main service line. There’s no reliable taste, smell, or color to signal its presence, so the only way to know whether it’s in your water is a targeted laboratory test for radionuclides.
On Fisher Island and nearby Miami-Dade communities, water is used for much more than drinking — cooking, making ice, bathing and oral care all rely on the same supply. If a test identifies concerning strontium-90 levels, the most effective way to reduce exposure is to treat water at the point it enters the home so every fixture benefits. Faucet-level (point-of-use) filters protect a single tap, but a correctly chosen whole-house system gives consistent protection across showers, laundry, and all faucets.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the best single-filter option for lowering strontium-90 because the resin swaps out certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same exchange process can capture positively charged contaminants like strontium, so installing an ion exchange softener at the Fisher Island service entry point provides treatment for the entire plumbing system rather than only one fixture.
To perform well in Fisher Island’s typically hard South Florida water, an ion exchange softener must be sized to your household’s usage and mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin’s ability to remove strontium over time, and routine maintenance plus a good prefilter helps protect the media from sediment that can shorten its life. Mr. Pure Water can evaluate your water test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup that targets strontium-90 effectively while fitting island homes and their plumbing.
