Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can appear in water at very low concentrations. Because it behaves much like calcium, it moves with groundwater and can enter a house through the main line without any noticeable taste, smell, or color to warn you. The only reliable way to determine whether it’s present in your Orange Blossom water is through laboratory testing that targets radionuclides.
In Orange Blossom, homeowners use water for more than drinking—cooking, ice, bathing, and oral care all rely on the same supply. Point-of-use filters treat a single faucet but won’t protect showers, laundry, or irrigation. When tests indicate elevated strontium-90, treating water at the main entry with a whole-house system gives consistent coverage across the home, reducing exposure during everyday use throughout the Lake County (Greater Orlando area) properties.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same exchange mechanism can capture positively charged contaminants like strontium, so installing an ion exchange softener at the Orange Blossom service entrance treats water before it reaches any fixture.
To perform well in Orange Blossom’s typically hard groundwater, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household water use and mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues to remove strontium, and prefiltration helps prevent sediment from shortening media life. Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup tailored to local conditions that targets Strontium-90 without adding unnecessary complexity.
