Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can occur in water at trace levels. Because it behaves like calcium in nature, it can travel with groundwater and enter your home through the main supply line without any taste, smell, or visible sign to warn you. The reliable way to determine whether it’s present is to have your water tested specifically for radionuclides — a step every Ojus homeowner should consider if they’re concerned about drinking water safety.
In everyday life, water is used for much more than drinking: cooking, making ice, bathing, and brushing teeth all rely on the same supply. While point-of-use devices protect one sink, they won’t safeguard showers, laundry, or outdoor taps in your Ojus residence. If testing shows elevated strontium-90, the practical strategy is to treat water at the entry point so every fixture gets the same protection—giving you consistent coverage across the whole home.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is frequently the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That ion exchange process can also capture other positively charged contaminants like strontium, so a softener installed at the main line can lower levels throughout an Ojus house. For many households, this makes an ion exchange system a straightforward choice when you want treatment at every tap.
To be effective in Ojus — where municipal water is typically hard and can contribute to mineral scale — an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s water use and overall hardness. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin’s ability to remove strontium over time, and routine maintenance keeps performance consistent. Pairing the softener with a quality prefilter helps protect the media from sediment and extends system life; Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a whole-house setup tailored to your home in Miami-Dade County.
