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 behaves like calcium, moves with groundwater and into a house through the main supply. There’s no dependable taste, smell, or color to signal its presence, so the only way Highland Beach homeowners can know if it’s in their water is through specific radionuclide testing.
In Highland Beach many household uses — cooking, making ice, bathing, and brushing teeth — rely on the same water that comes from your main line. If tests show elevated strontium-90, the most reliable strategy is to treat water at the point it enters the home so every fixture is covered. Point-of-use devices may help one sink or refrigerator, but they leave the rest of the house unprotected; a properly selected whole-house system gives consistent treatment for daily use across your Highland Beach property.
For removing strontium-90, a whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the single most effective filter choice. The resin inside the tank swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium and can capture other positively charged contaminants such as strontium. Because strontium-90 is chemically strontium, it can be reduced by this exchange process, making an ion exchange softener a practical option for entry-point treatment in Highland Beach homes.
To perform well in Highland Beach’s typically hard water, an ion exchange softener must be sized to your household’s water use and mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues removing strontium, and routine maintenance preserves consistent performance; using good prefiltration can also protect the media from sediment and scale that are common in South Florida’s warm, hard-water conditions. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results and recommend a whole-house setup tailored for Highland Beach properties that targets strontium-90 without adding unnecessary complexity.
