Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive isotope of strontium that can exist in water at trace levels. Because it behaves much like calcium, it can travel with groundwater and enter a home through the main service line without changing the water’s taste, smell, or appearance. The only reliable way to determine whether it’s present is to have your water tested for radionuclides by an accredited lab familiar with tests for strontium-90.
In Longwood households — whether in neighborhoods near Wekiva Springs or closer to the Historic District — water is used for cooking, ice makers, bathing, and oral hygiene, so any contaminant in the supply can affect daily life. If testing identifies elevated strontium-90, the aim is to lower exposure by treating water at the point it enters the house so every tap is protected. Single-faucet point-of-use filters help only at that fixture; a whole-house solution gives consistent coverage across showers, laundry, and kitchen use.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most practical single-filter option to reduce strontium-90 because the resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same exchange process can remove positively charged contaminants like strontium, so an ion exchange softener installed at the entry point treats water before it reaches plumbing and appliances. For Longwood homes with hard, mineral-rich groundwater, an ion exchange softener also addresses scale while providing this additional benefit.
To perform reliably in Seminole County’s hard water, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household demand and mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin’s capacity to exchange ions and sustain removal of strontium over time, and routine maintenance plus a prefilter to catch sediment helps protect the media. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results and recommend a whole-house softener configuration that fits Longwood plumbing and usage patterns without adding unnecessary complexity.
