Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can occur in water at trace concentrations. Because it mimics calcium chemically, it can travel with groundwater and enter a home through the main service line without any taste, smell, or color to signal its presence. The only reliable way to determine if your Floresta Estates water contains this contaminant is with laboratory testing that includes radionuclide analysis.
In Floresta Estates households, water is used for much more than drinking — cooking, making ice, bathing and oral care all bring your family into contact with whatever is in the supply. Point-of-use devices may protect one sink, but they won’t treat water used for showers, appliances, or irrigation. If testing shows elevated strontium-90, installing treatment at the home’s entry point ensures all outlets receive treated water for more consistent exposure reduction.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin exchanges dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. Since strontium behaves like other positively charged minerals, the softener’s resin can capture it as water passes through the tank. For many Floresta Estates homes, this ion exchange approach provides practical entry-point treatment that covers the entire property.
To perform well in Floresta Estates’ hard, mineral-rich groundwater, an ion exchange softener needs to be sized for your household’s flow and mineral load and maintained with regular salt regeneration to refresh the resin. Adding a prefilter can help protect the resin from sediment that would reduce its service life. Mr. Pure Water can evaluate your water test results and recommend a whole-house softener arrangement that targets strontium-90 while fitting the demands of local plumbing and hard-water conditions.
