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 dissolve into groundwater and travel through mains into a home’s plumbing without any obvious taste, smell or color to give a warning. The only reliable way to detect it is with radionuclide-focused water testing; Hunters Creek homeowners concerned about their supply should start with a test that includes strontium-90.
In Hunters Creek many everyday uses — drinking, cooking, making ice, bathing and brushing teeth — rely on the same water that enters your house. Point-of-use filters can protect a single sink or refrigerator, but they leave the rest of the home exposed. When testing identifies elevated strontium-90, the practical approach is treatment at the point of entry so the entire household and all fixtures benefit, especially in Central Florida homes where hard water and seasonal runoff can affect source quality.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the single most effective filter for reducing strontium-90 because the resin exchanges certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. Since strontium is chemically similar to calcium, it can be captured by the same exchange process that removes hardness minerals. For Hunters Creek homes, installing an ion exchange softener at the entry point delivers treatment to every tap and is a practical solution when you want broad coverage without multiple point-of-use units.
To be effective in Hunters Creek’s hard, humid-subtropical conditions, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household demand and the local mineral content. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin’s ability to remove strontium over time, and routine maintenance helps maintain consistent performance. In many installations, adding prefiltration protects the resin from sediment and extends service life; Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup tailored to your home in Orange County.
