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 mimics calcium chemically, it can dissolve into mineral-rich groundwater and travel through supply lines into homes. There’s no dependable taste, smell, or color to signal its presence, so the only reliable way to know whether it’s in your water is through radionuclide-focused testing.
In Golf Estates, families use the same water for cooking, making ice, bathing and oral care, so any contaminant in the supply can affect many daily activities. Point-of-use filters can protect a single faucet, but they won’t treat showers, laundry, or other taps. For consistent coverage across a household—especially in South Florida where hard water and mineral load are common—a properly chosen whole-house system treats water at the main entry so every fixture gets the same protection.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because its resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That exchange process can capture positively charged contaminants like strontium, so installing an ion exchange softener at the home’s entry point provides treatment for all taps and appliances.
For best results in Golf Estates’ hard, mineral-rich groundwater, size the ion exchange softener to match your household water use and total mineral load. Routine regeneration with salt restores the resin’s capacity to remove strontium over time, and proper maintenance—often including prefiltration to keep sediment out of the media—helps the system last. Mr. Pure Water can review your lab results and recommend a whole-house softener arrangement that targets strontium-90 without adding unnecessary complexity.
