Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can travel with groundwater and enter houses through the main water line. Because it behaves like calcium, it can dissolve into water and move unseen; there’s no reliable taste, smell, or color to signal its presence. The only way to know if it’s in your Imperial Point supply is through lab testing that specifically looks for radionuclides.
In Imperial Point households, water is used for cooking, ice, showers and oral care, so any contaminant detected in testing deserves attention. Point-of-use filters protect a single faucet, but they won’t guard appliances, irrigation, or every shower. For consistent coverage across daily use in Broward County homes—where municipal supplies and moderate hardness are common—a whole-house system treats water at the entry point and keeps every fixture supplied with treated water.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the single most effective filter-type for reducing strontium-90 because the resin exchanges certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same exchange process can also capture positively charged contaminants such as strontium, so an ion exchange softener provides entry-point treatment for the entire house in Imperial Point without adding extra point filters.
To be effective in an Imperial Point home, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s flow and the area’s moderate mineral content so it regenerates at the right intervals. Regular salt regeneration restores the resin’s ability to remove strontium over time, and prefiltration helps keep sediment from fouling the media. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results and recommend a properly sized whole-house setup that targets strontium-90 while fitting local water conditions and daily use patterns.
