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 behaves similarly to calcium, it can dissolve into groundwater and travel through mains to reach a home’s plumbing without any taste, smell, or visible sign. The only reliable way to determine if it’s present in your Melbourne Village supply is through specific testing for radionuclides.
You use household water for much more than drinking — cooking, making ice, bathing, and brushing teeth all depend on the same supply. If testing indicates elevated strontium-90, the most effective strategy is to treat water at the point it enters the house so every fixture is protected. Point-of-use devices only cover a single tap, while a whole-house system gives consistent treatment across showers, laundry and other daily uses common to Melbourne Village homes in Brevard County.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the best single-filter choice 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 installing an ion exchange softener at the main line can reduce strontium-90 throughout your Melbourne Village plumbing.
To perform reliably, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s flow and the hard water typical of Brevard County. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin’s capacity to remove strontium over time, and routine maintenance plus good prefiltration helps protect the media from sediment and mineral scale that are common in hard water areas. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results and recommend a whole-house ion exchange setup that targets Strontium-90 without adding unnecessary complexity.
