Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can occur in water at very low concentrations. Because it acts much like calcium, it moves with groundwater and can enter a Mims home through the main supply line—especially in areas served by private wells. You won't be able to taste, see, or smell it, so the only reliable way to know whether it's present is with targeted radionuclide water testing.
In Mims households, water is used for cooking, making ice, bathing, and brushing teeth, so concerns about strontium-90 often relate to everyday exposure. If test results show elevated levels, treating the water at the point it enters your house protects every faucet and fixture. Individual point-of-use filters can help at a single sink, but they won't cover your whole home; a properly chosen whole-house system delivers consistent protection across typical Brevard County water use.
When addressing strontium-90 in a whole-house setup, an ion exchange water softener is frequently the single-filter approach that works best. These softeners use resin to swap certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium, and that same exchange can remove positively charged contaminants like strontium. Because strontium-90 behaves chemically as strontium, an ion exchange softener installed at the main water entry can reduce it while also addressing the hard water common around Mims.
To be effective for a Mims home, an ion exchange softener must match your household's flow and the area's mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt refreshes the resin so it continues to capture strontium, and routine maintenance—along with good prefiltration—helps prevent sediment or iron from shortening media life. Mr. Pure Water can look at your water test results and recommend a whole-house softener and prefilter arrangement that targets strontium-90 while handling the hard, iron-prone well water many local homeowners see.
