Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can occur in water at trace levels and, because it acts like calcium, it moves with groundwater and may enter homes through the main supply. You won’t detect it by taste, smell, or sight, so the only reliable way to know if it’s present in your Glidden Park water is through targeted radionuclide testing performed on a sample from your service line.
In Glidden Park households, water is used for many daily tasks — cooking, making ice, bathing and brushing teeth — so concerns about strontium-90 often focus on reducing exposure throughout the home. If testing indicates elevated levels, treating water at the point it enters the house is the most comprehensive strategy. Point-of-use devices protect a single tap, but a whole-house system delivers consistent protection to every fixture and activity.
When the goal is to reduce strontium-90 across the whole home, a whole-house water softener using ion exchange is frequently the single most effective filter option. The resin inside the tank swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium and can also remove positively charged contaminants like strontium. Because strontium-90 is chemically strontium, it can be reduced by this exchange process, making an ion exchange softener a practical entry-point treatment for Glidden Park homes.
For reliable performance in Glidden Park’s humid subtropical setting, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s water use and mineral load so regenerations restore the resin properly. Routine salt-based regeneration and basic maintenance keep the media working to reduce strontium over time, and adding prefiltration can protect the resin from sediment that shortens its life. Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a whole-house ion exchange setup tailored to your home without unnecessary complexity.
