Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can appear in water at trace levels. Because it behaves like calcium, it travels with groundwater and may enter a house through the main supply line without any noticeable taste, smell, or color to warn you. In Orlando — where Central Florida’s warm climate and seasonal rains can affect source-water variability and plumbing biofilms — the only reliable way to know if strontium-90 is present is to have your water tested for radionuclides.
Orlando homeowners typically use tap water for cooking, making ice, bathing, and brushing teeth, so drinking-water concerns quickly become whole-home concerns. Point-of-use filters protect a single faucet but leave the rest of your plumbing exposed — from the kitchen in College Park to bathrooms in Lake Nona. If testing shows elevated strontium-90, treating water at the main entry with a properly designed whole-house system gives coverage across every fixture and daily water use.
When you need a single whole-home filter that reduces strontium-90, a water softener using ion exchange is often the most practical option. The resin in the tank swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium and can capture other positively charged contaminants, including strontium. Because strontium-90 is chemically strontium, it can be reduced by that same exchange process, making an ion exchange softener a sensible entry-point treatment for Orlando homes.
For reliable removal in Orlando’s moderately hard water, an ion exchange softener should be sized to your household’s flow and mineral load and be maintained with regular salt regeneration so the resin keeps working. Good prefiltration helps protect the media from sediment and biofilm that can develop in Central Florida’s warm conditions. Mr. Pure Water can evaluate your radionuclide test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup that targets strontium-90 without adding unnecessary complexity.
