Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can occur at trace levels in drinking water. Because it behaves similarly to calcium, it can travel with groundwater and enter homes through the main supply line without changing the water’s taste, smell, or appearance. The only reliable way for Olympia Heights homeowners to know if it’s present is through water testing that specifically checks for radionuclides.
In Olympia Heights households, water is used for cooking, ice, bathing, and brushing teeth — not just drinking — so any contaminant found in the supply affects everyday activities. Point-of-use devices protect a single tap, but they won’t treat shower water, washing machines, or outdoor spigots. If testing indicates elevated strontium-90, the practical route is whole-house treatment at the main line so every fixture in your Miami-Dade County home gets consistent protection.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin exchanges certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same exchange process can capture positively charged contaminants like strontium, so an ion exchange softener provides treatment at the point where Olympia Heights municipal water enters your home.
To perform reliably in Olympia Heights — where municipal water is typically hard — an ion exchange softener should be sized for your household’s water use and mineral load. Routine regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues reducing strontium over time, and good prefiltration helps prevent sediment from fouling the media. Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup that targets strontium-90 while also addressing hard-water issues common in the Miami metropolitan area.
