Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can appear in water at very low concentrations. Because it behaves much like calcium, it travels with groundwater and can enter a house through the main service line without any noticeable taste, smell, or color to warn you. The only reliable way for Lotus homeowners to know whether it’s present is to have water tested specifically for radionuclides.
In Lotus, we use water for much more than drinking—cooking, making ice, bathing, and brushing teeth all rely on the same supply—so concerns about strontium-90 often extend beyond a single faucet. If tests show elevated levels, the safest approach is to treat water at the home’s point of entry so all fixtures receive protection. While point-of-use cartridges can guard one tap, a whole-house system delivers consistent coverage across daily use and fits well with local homes that experience moderate hardness and seasonal water changes.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is commonly the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. Since strontium is chemically similar to other positive ions, the resin can capture it through the same exchange process. For Lotus households wanting entry-point treatment, an ion exchange softener offers a straightforward, practical way to lower strontium at every tap.
To be effective in Lotus, an ion exchange softener should be sized for your household’s daily water use and the local mineral load. Routine regeneration with salt restores the resin’s ability to remove strontium over time, and simple maintenance helps sustain performance—especially given Florida’s seasonal shifts and moderate hardness. Including a prefilter to remove sediment can protect the media and extend service life; Mr. Pure Water can review your lab results and recommend a whole-house setup tailored to Lotus conditions and your family’s needs.
