Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can appear in water at trace levels. Because it acts like calcium, it travels with groundwater and can enter a house through the main supply line, often without any taste, smell, or color to give it away. In Heathrow and the surrounding Orange County area—where many systems draw from the Floridan Aquifer—only targeted radionuclide testing can reliably detect its presence.
You use household water for cooking, making ice, bathing and brushing teeth, so if testing finds elevated strontium-90 it’s wise to treat the water before it reaches every fixture. Point-of-use filters protect a single tap but won’t cover showers, laundry, or irrigation in Heathrow’s hard-water conditions. Installing a whole-house system brings consistent protection for all daily uses throughout your planned-community home.
A whole-house water softener that uses ion exchange is often the single best filter choice for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same exchange process can remove positively charged contaminants like strontium, making an ion exchange system a practical entry-point solution for Heathrow homes seeking treatment at every tap.
To be effective in Heathrow’s mineral-rich, hard water, an ion exchange softener must be properly sized for your household usage and total dissolved minerals. Regular salt-based regeneration restores the resin’s capacity to remove strontium over time, and routine maintenance plus a good prefilter helps prevent sediment from shortening media life. Mr. Pure Water can assess your water test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup tailored to Heathrow properties so you get reliable, uncomplicated treatment.
