Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can show up in water at trace levels. Because it acts much like calcium, it travels with groundwater and can enter a Lake Placid home through the main service line. You won’t detect it by taste, smell, or sight — the only dependable way to know if it’s present is a laboratory test for radionuclides.
In Lake Placid households, water is used for cooking, ice, bathing, and brushing teeth, so concerns about strontium-90 often involve whole-home exposure rather than a single faucet. If your test results show higher levels, the most reliable approach is to treat water at the point it enters the house so every fixture is protected. Point-of-use devices can help at one sink but won’t safeguard appliances or showers across a home in Highlands County.
A whole-house water softener is commonly the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because it uses ion exchange. The resin in the tank swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium and can also capture other positively charged elements like strontium. Because strontium-90 is chemically strontium, it can be reduced by this same exchange process, making an ion exchange softener a practical entry-point treatment for Lake Placid homes.
To perform well in Lake Placid’s typically hard groundwater, an ion exchange softener must be sized to your household’s usage and mineral levels. Regular salt regeneration restores the resin so it continues to remove strontium, and routine maintenance keeps the system reliable. Often a prefilter is added to protect the media from sediment and extend service life. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test and recommend a whole-house softener setup that targets strontium-90 without unnecessary complexity.
