Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can occur at very low concentrations in groundwater. Because it behaves like calcium, it moves with groundwater and can travel through supply lines into homes in Killarney and the surrounding Orange County area. There’s no reliable taste, smell, or color to warn you, so the only way to confirm its presence is a water test that includes radionuclides.
In Killarney households the water is used for much more than drinking — cooking, ice, showers and brushing teeth all draw from the same source. If testing shows elevated strontium-90, treating the water at the point it enters the house is the best way to reduce exposure across every faucet and shower. While point-of-use filters protect a single tap, a whole-house system covers all daily uses and provides consistent protection for homes in this hard-water region fed by the Floridan aquifer.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. Since strontium is a positively charged ion similar to calcium, it can be captured by the same exchange process the softener uses. For many Killarney properties—where groundwater from the Floridan aquifer is mineral-rich and prone to hard-water scale—an ion exchange softener provides practical entry-point treatment for the whole home.
To be effective in Killarney, an ion exchange softener should be sized for your household flow and the area’s hard water. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues to remove strontium, and routine maintenance plus prefiltration helps keep the media from clogging with sediment. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test and recommend a whole-house softener setup tailored to local conditions around Lake Apopka and the West Orange Trail corridor.
