Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can dissolve and travel with groundwater, then enter a home through the main service line. Because it acts much like calcium, it moves in water without giving any reliable taste, smell, or color to warn you it’s present. The only way Normandy Shores homeowners can be sure is to have water tested specifically for radionuclides.
In a Miami-Dade neighborhood like Normandy Shores, water is used for cooking, making ice, bathing, and brushing teeth every day — so contaminants in supply water affect the whole household. If testing shows elevated strontium-90, the safest approach is to treat water at the point it enters the home so every fixture is covered. Point-of-use devices protect a single tap, but a whole-house system gives consistent protection across showers, laundry, and kitchen use.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same ion exchange process can remove positively charged contaminants like strontium, so installing a properly sized softener at your Normandy Shores service line provides treatment before water reaches fixtures and appliances.
To perform well in hard Miami-area water, an ion exchange softener should be sized to your household’s usage and mineral load, and it needs regular regeneration with salt to restore the resin’s capability to remove strontium. Prefiltration helps protect the media from sediment and prolongs service life. Mr. Pure Water can review your Normandy Shores test results and recommend a whole-house configuration that targets strontium-90 without adding unnecessary complexity.
