Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive variety of strontium that can occur at trace levels in groundwater. Because it behaves like calcium, it moves with mineral-rich water and can enter houses through the main service line. It won’t change the water’s taste, smell, or appearance, so the only reliable way to know if it’s present is a laboratory test for radionuclides that includes strontium-90.
In Osceola homes, residents use water for drinking, cooking, ice, bathing and brushing teeth — everyday uses where contamination could matter. Point-of-use filters protect a single faucet but leave the rest of the house unaddressed. If testing shows elevated strontium-90, treating water at the entry point with a whole-house system gives consistent protection across all fixtures and daily activities throughout your home.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is commonly the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90, because the resin exchanges dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. Since strontium is a positively charged ion chemically similar to calcium, the softener’s resin can capture it through that exchange process. Installing an ion exchange system at the home entry point provides treatment for all taps and appliances in Osceola homes.
To perform reliably in Osceola — where groundwater from the Floridan aquifer is often hard and mineral-rich — an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s usage and total dissolved minerals. Routine regeneration with salt restores the resin so it can keep removing strontium over time, and prefiltration helps protect the media from sediment that reduces lifespan.
