Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can occur at very low concentrations in groundwater. Because it acts a lot like calcium, it moves with groundwater and can enter Holden Heights homes through the main supply line—especially in areas that draw from the Floridan aquifer. There’s no reliable taste, smell, or color to warn you, so the only way to know if it’s present is through laboratory testing for radionuclides.
In Holden Heights households, water is used for cooking, ice, bathing and dental care, so any contaminant found in tests matters throughout the home. Point-of-use filters protect a single sink or refrigerator, but they won’t cover showers, laundry, or outdoor faucets. If testing flags elevated strontium-90, the practical solution is treatment at the home’s entry point so every fixture in your Orlando‑area house benefits from reduced exposure.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the single most effective filter for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. Since strontium behaves chemically like other positively charged minerals, the softener’s resin can capture it during the exchange process. For many Holden Heights homes that rely on hard Floridan aquifer water, an ion exchange softener provides practical, entry-point treatment for strontium.
To be effective in Holden Heights, an ion exchange softener should be sized to your household water use and the hardness level typical of Orange County supplies. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin’s ability to remove strontium over time, and routine maintenance preserves performance. Pairing the softener with a prefilter helps protect the media from sediment and extends system life—Mr. Pure Water can review your lab results and recommend a whole‑house setup tailored to your home.
