Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can travel with groundwater because it behaves much like calcium. It can enter a house through the main service line and won’t announce itself with taste, smell, or color — the only reliable way to know is a lab test for radionuclides. In Lighthouse Point and greater Broward County, testing is the step that tells you whether further action is needed.
In Lighthouse Point homes, water is used for many daily tasks — cooking, making ice, bathing and brushing teeth — so any contaminant that shows up in testing can affect the whole household. Point-of-use filters treat a single faucet, but they won’t protect showers, appliances, or outdoor hoses. For dependable coverage across a hard, coastal South Florida water supply, a whole-house system installed at the entry point provides consistent treatment to every fixture in the home.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same exchange process can capture positively charged contaminants like strontium, so a properly configured softener treats the water where it enters your Lighthouse Point property and protects plumbing and appliances from hard-water and coastal corrosion concerns.
To be effective in a Lighthouse Point residence, an ion exchange softener should be sized for your household’s flow and the local hard water profile. Routine regeneration with salt restores the resin’s ability to remove strontium, and regular maintenance plus a good prefilter helps keep sediment off the media. Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup that targets strontium-90 while accounting for Broward County’s hard, coastal water conditions.
