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 moves with groundwater and can enter a home through the main service line without changing taste, smell, or color. The only reliable way to know whether it’s present in your Key Largo water is to have a laboratory test that specifically screens for radionuclides.
In Key Largo households the water we use for cooking, ice, bathing and brushing teeth should be safe — and testing is the only way to confirm that. If results show elevated strontium-90, the most effective strategy is treating water at the point it enters your home so every faucet and shower is protected. Point-of-use devices can help a single tap, but they won’t cover storage tanks, whole-house systems, or showers common in homes across the Florida Keys.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the single-filter approach that best reduces strontium-90, because the resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. Since strontium is chemically similar to calcium, the ion exchange media can capture positively charged strontium ions as water passes through the tank. For Key Largo homes — many of which deal with hard water and sometimes use storage tanks or treatment systems — an entry-point softener provides treatment for the entire plumbing system.
To be effective in Key Largo, an ion exchange softener needs correct sizing for your household’s flow rates and the local hard water profile, and it must be regenerated regularly with salt to refresh the resin. Good prefiltration also helps protect the media from sediment and salt-air corrosion that can affect plumbing in coastal Monroe County. Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a whole-house softener and prefilter combo tailored to Key Largo homes so you get consistent removal without unnecessary complexity.
