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. Because it behaves much like calcium, it moves with groundwater and can enter homes through the main service line with no taste, smell, or visible sign. The only reliable way to detect it is with laboratory testing for radionuclides, so Highland Lakes residents should test if they have concerns about their supply.
In Highland Lakes, water is part of daily life—from cooking and making ice to bathing and brushing teeth—so any contaminant in the supply can affect many household uses. If testing indicates elevated strontium-90, the objective is to reduce exposure by treating water at the point it enters your home so all fixtures receive protection. Single point-of-use devices help one faucet, but they leave the rest of the house exposed; a properly chosen whole-house system gives continuous treatment across showers, laundry, and outdoor taps—useful in hard-water areas like Miami-Dade County where mineral scale is already a local concern.
For whole-home reduction of strontium-90, a water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter option. The resin in the softener swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium and can also capture positively charged contaminants such as strontium, so chemically identical strontium-90 is reduced by the same exchange process. Because this treats water at the entry point to a Highland Lakes home, it provides broad coverage without the need for multiple point filters.
To perform reliably in Highland Lakes—where municipal water is typically hard—the ion exchange softener should be sized for your household’s daily use and mineral load. Regular salt-based regeneration restores the resin’s ability to remove strontium and routine maintenance preserves performance; adding a prefilter helps keep sediment from shortening resin life. Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend the correct whole-house softener and prefiltration setup tailored to Highland Lakes homes and local water conditions.
