Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can appear in water at trace levels. Because it acts like calcium, it moves with groundwater and can travel into Montverde homes through the main water line. There’s no dependable taste, smell, or visible sign to reveal its presence, so the only way to know if it’s in your water is with lab testing specifically for radionuclides.
People in Montverde use household water for cooking, ice, bathing and brushing teeth, so drinking-water concerns extend to everyday tasks. If testing shows elevated strontium-90, the best approach is to treat water at the entry point so every faucet and appliance is covered. Point-of-use filters protect a single tap, but they won’t safeguard showers, laundry, or irrigation; a correctly chosen whole-house system gives consistent protection across the home.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the single most effective filter-type for reducing strontium-90 because its resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That ion exchange process can also capture positively charged contaminants like strontium, so treating Montverde’s water at the point of entry with a softener is a practical option when you want comprehensive reduction throughout the house.
To perform well in Montverde—where local Lake County groundwater is often hard—the softener must be sized for your household demand and mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin’s ability to remove strontium over time, and routine maintenance prevents performance drop-off. Pairing the softener with good prefiltration helps keep sediment from fouling the media, and Mr. Pure Water can review your water test and recommend a whole-house configuration that targets strontium-90 without unnecessary complexity.
