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 acts much like calcium, it travels with groundwater and can enter a house through the main supply line without changing taste, smell, or color. The only reliable way for Lorida homeowners—many of whom rely on private wells in the Lake Placid area—to know whether it’s present is through targeted radionuclide testing.
Whether you’re using water for drinking, cooking, ice, bathing, or brushing teeth, contaminants like strontium-90 can affect all those uses. Point-of-use devices protect a single faucet, but they won’t treat water used in showers, laundry, or irrigation. In Lorida households, where hard water and high mineral content are common, a whole-house system installed at the entry point gives wider protection by treating water before it reaches every fixture.
A whole-house water softener that uses ion exchange is frequently the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same exchange can remove positively charged contaminants such as strontium, so an ion exchange softener provides entry-point treatment for the entire home. For many Lorida properties—especially private wells in Highlands County—this approach is a practical choice when seeking broad coverage.
To be effective in Lorida, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s flow and the area’s typically hard water. Proper regeneration with salt restores the resin’s capacity to remove strontium over time, and routine maintenance keeps performance consistent. Prefiltration can protect the softener from sediment that shortens media life, and Mr. Pure Water can review your water test and recommend a whole-house setup tailored to your needs near Lake Istokpoga.
