Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can appear in water at very low concentrations and behaves much like calcium. Because it moves with groundwater, it can enter a residence through the main supply line without any taste, smell, or color to warn you. The only reliable way for Kendall West homeowners to confirm its presence is through laboratory testing targeted at radionuclides.
Families in Kendall West use municipal water for everything from cooking and ice to showers and brushing teeth, so drinking-water concerns can affect daily routines across the home. While a point-of-use filter treats a single faucet, it won’t protect appliances, showers, or outdoor hoses around Miami-Dade County properties. When testing indicates elevated strontium-90, treating water at the entry point with a whole-house system gives consistent protection at every fixture throughout your home.
A whole-house water softener that uses ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. Since strontium is chemically similar to calcium, the exchange process can capture strontium ions as water passes through the tank. For many Kendall West homes dealing with hard municipal water, an ion exchange softener provides practical treatment right where the water enters the house.
To perform well in Kendall West, a softener must be sized for your household’s water usage and the local mineral load—Miami-Dade’s hard water can increase regeneration needs. Regular salt-based regeneration restores the resin so it continues removing strontium over time, and prefiltration helps protect the media from sediment that could shorten its life. Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a whole-house softener and prefilter arrangement that targets strontium-90 without adding unnecessary complexity.
