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 like calcium, it can travel with groundwater and enter Gladeview homes through the main service line. There’s no reliable taste, smell, or color to indicate its presence, so the only way to know if it’s in your water is to have radionuclide-focused testing performed.
In Gladeview households, water is used for many daily activities — cooking, ice, bathing, and brushing teeth — so any contaminant in the supply can affect more than one faucet. Point-of-use devices can protect a single sink, but they won’t cover whole-house needs across a Miami-Dade home. If testing shows concerning results, treating water at the entry point ensures consistent protection for every fixture and appliance throughout your house.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter choice for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same exchange process can capture positively charged contaminants like strontium, so an ion exchange softener installed at the home’s main line provides treatment for all taps in Gladeview properties.
To perform reliably in Miami-Dade’s typically hard groundwater, an ion exchange softener must be sized to your household’s usage and mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it can continue removing strontium, and prefiltration helps shield the media from sediment that shortens its lifespan. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results and recommend a whole-house softener and prefilter combination that fits Gladeview homes without adding unnecessary complexity.
