Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can travel with groundwater and sometimes enter a home through the main supply. Because it behaves much like calcium, it can dissolve into water without changing taste, smell or appearance, so you can’t detect it by using your senses. The only reliable way for Kenwood Estates residents to know whether it’s present is to have a water test that specifically looks for radionuclides.
In Kenwood Estates the water you use for cooking, showering, making ice and brushing teeth is all at risk if tests show elevated strontium-90, so treating at the point where water enters the house gives the broadest protection. Point-of-use filters can protect a single faucet, but they don’t cover showers, washing machines or outdoor taps. A correctly chosen whole-house system delivers consistent treatment to every fixture in homes across our humid subtropical area where hard, mineral-rich water is common.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the single most effective filter choice for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That ion exchange process can also capture positively charged contaminants like strontium, so the same mechanism that combats hardness in Kenwood Estates’ limestone-aquifer–influenced water can reduce strontium-90 when configured appropriately. For many homeowners, an entry-point softener is a practical way to treat all water coming into the home.
To be effective in Kenwood Estates, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s flow and the local water’s mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues to remove strontium over time, and routine maintenance plus a good prefilter helps protect the media from the hard water and sediment common in Florida. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup that targets Strontium-90 without adding unnecessary complexity.
