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 behaves a lot like calcium, it can stay dissolved in groundwater and travel through the main supply into Morningside Park houses without any noticeable taste, odor, or color. The only reliable way to know whether it’s present is to have your water tested specifically for radionuclides.
You use your tap water for more than drinking — cooking, making ice, bathing, and brushing teeth all rely on the municipal supply. In Morningside Park, a single point-of-use filter protects only one faucet, while a properly chosen whole-house system treats every outlet in the home so the family is covered during daily activities. If test results show elevated strontium-90 or related contaminants, installing treatment at the entry point is the straightforward way to reduce exposure throughout your Miami-Dade County residence.
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. That same exchange process can capture positively charged strontium in the water, so an ion exchange softener can lower strontium-90 levels as water flows into your Morningside Park home. For households in the Miami area, where water is typically hard, this approach also addresses mineral hardness while treating for strontium.
To be effective in Morningside Park, an ion exchange softener must be sized to your household’s usage and the local mineral content, and it requires regular regeneration with salt so the resin continues to remove strontium over time. Adding prefiltration helps keep sediment out of the media and extends system life—especially useful in humid, hard-water Miami conditions. Mr. Pure Water can review your radionuclide test results and recommend a properly sized whole-house softener and prefilter that target strontium-90 without making the system more complicated than it needs to be.
