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 like calcium chemically, it moves with groundwater and may enter a home through the main service line. You won’t taste, smell, or see it, so the only way to know if it’s present is through testing that specifically screens for radionuclides.
In Flagami households, water is used for much more than drinking—cooking, making ice, bathing, and brushing teeth all matter. If testing identifies concerning strontium-90 levels, the aim is to reduce exposure by treating water before it reaches every faucet and shower. Point-of-use devices help at a single tap, but they leave most of the house unprotected; a correctly chosen whole-house system treats all incoming water for more consistent coverage across daily uses.
When it comes to reducing strontium-90, a whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter solution. The resin bed exchanges certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium and can also capture other positively charged contaminants like strontium. Because strontium-90 is chemically strontium, it can be lowered by this exchange process, making an ion exchange softener a practical option for treatment at the home’s entry point.
To perform well in Flagami and the wider Miami-Dade area—where municipal water is typically hard—an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s water use and mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt refreshes the resin so it continues removing strontium, and routine maintenance preserves performance. Often a prefilter is recommended to keep sand and sediment out of the resin bed. Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and suggest a whole-house softener setup tailored to Flagami homes that targets strontium-90 without unnecessary complexity.
