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 water. Because it behaves much like calcium, it can travel with groundwater and enter a home through the main supply line, and there’s no reliable taste, smell, or color to reveal its presence. For homeowners in Lake Clarke Shores — where hard water is common — the only dependable way to confirm whether this contaminant is present is a targeted water test for radionuclides.
Strontium-90 is relevant to everyday water uses around the house — cooking, making ice, bathing and brushing teeth — so testing matters for whole-home exposure. While point-of-use filters can treat a single tap, they leave the rest of the household unprotected. In Lake Clarke Shores properties, from those along Lake Clarke to nearby Pinewood Park and Lake Osborne Estates, a correctly chosen whole-house system treats water at the entry point and provides consistent coverage for all fixtures and appliances.
A whole-house water softener is often the most effective single-filter choice for removing strontium-90 because it uses ion exchange. The resin bed swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium and can capture other positively charged ions such as strontium, reducing its presence in water entering your Lake Clarke Shores home. Installing treatment at the main line gives protection to plumbing and appliances as well as to taps throughout the house.
To perform well, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s flow and the local water’s mineral content — important in hard-water areas like Lake Clarke Shores where scale buildup is common. Regular regeneration with salt renews the resin so it can continue removing strontium over time, and a prefilter can help keep sediment from shortening media life. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup tailored to your home and routine, including considerations for protecting pipes during occasional cold snaps.
