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 behaves like calcium, it moves with groundwater and can enter a house through the main supply line without changing the water’s taste, smell, or appearance. The only reliable way to know whether it’s present in your Glenvar Heights water is through laboratory testing that looks for radionuclides.
In Glenvar Heights households, water is used for more than drinking: cooking, ice, bathing and brushing teeth all rely on the same source. Point-of-use devices protect a single faucet, but won’t safeguard appliances or showers across your Miami-Dade home. If testing shows elevated strontium-90, treating at the point where water enters the property offers consistent reduction throughout the house and better daily protection for family and fixtures.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is frequently the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. Since strontium is a positively charged ion like calcium, it can be captured by the same exchange process. For Glenvar Heights homes on hard Miami‑Dade water, an ion exchange softener provides treatment at the entry point so every tap benefits.
To perform well in a Glenvar Heights residence, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s flow and the high mineral content typical of Miami‑Dade municipal water. Regular regeneration with salt refreshes the resin so it continues removing strontium, and routine maintenance preserves long-term performance. Prefiltration to remove sediment can extend media life, and Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and suggest a whole-house softener setup that targets strontium-90 without adding unnecessary complexity.
