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 much like calcium, it can move with groundwater and enter homes through the main service line without any change in taste, smell, or color. In Goulds and the surrounding Miami-Dade area the only dependable way to confirm its presence is with laboratory testing that targets radionuclides.
Folks around Goulds may hear about strontium-90 when thinking about drinking water safety, but household uses go beyond drinking — cooking, making ice, bathing, and brushing teeth all use the same supply. If tests show elevated levels, the practical approach is to treat water at the point it enters the home so every fixture is protected. Point-of-use filters work for a single tap, but a whole-house system gives consistent coverage for showers, laundry and all other daily uses across your Goulds property.
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 mechanism can capture positively charged contaminants such as strontium, so an ion exchange softener installed at the Goulds service entry provides treatment for the entire house while also addressing hard water issues common in Miami-Dade.
To perform well in Goulds, an ion exchange softener should be sized for your household’s daily water use and the area’s hard water mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues reducing strontium over time, and routine maintenance plus a good prefilter helps protect the media from sediment and scale. Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup that targets Strontium-90 without adding unnecessary complexity.
