Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can occur at very low levels in water. Because it acts a lot like calcium, it can dissolve into groundwater and travel through the main service line into homes in Isle of Normandy and nearby Miami-Dade neighborhoods. You won’t detect it by taste, smell, or sight — the only reliable way to know if it’s present is a lab test that looks for radionuclides.
In Isle of Normandy households, water is used for cooking, making ice, bathing, and brushing teeth, so any contaminant identified by testing should be addressed at the source. Point-of-use cartridges protect a single faucet but won’t guard showers, laundry, or outdoor spigots. For broader protection across daily activities — especially in a hard-water area where mineral buildup is common — a whole-house treatment installed at the entry point offers consistent coverage to the entire home.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most practical single-filter choice for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That ion-exchange process can also remove positively charged contaminants like strontium, so installing a properly sized softener at the main line can reduce strontium-90 exposure throughout Isle of Normandy homes while also addressing hard-water minerals.
To be effective in Isle of Normandy — where municipal water is typically hard — an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s flow rates and mineral load, and it requires regular regeneration with salt to keep the resin working. Prefiltration helps protect the media from sediment that shortens service life. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results and recommend a whole-house softener and prefilter combination suited to local conditions and your family’s needs.
