Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can occur at very low concentrations in water. Because it acts like calcium, it can stay dissolved in groundwater and enter your home through the main plumbing line. There’s no reliable taste, smell, or color to reveal its presence, so the only way to know is with water testing designed for radionuclides — something Overstreet homeowners can arrange through local test labs or a qualified water professional.
In Overstreet, the water you use for drinking, cooking, making ice, bathing, and brushing teeth comes from the same supply that could carry dissolved contaminants. If testing finds elevated strontium-90, the goal is to limit household exposure by treating water at the point it enters the house. Point-of-use filters help a single faucet, but they won’t protect showers or laundry; a correctly chosen whole-house system gives consistent treatment to every fixture in your Florida home.
When the objective is to reduce strontium-90 throughout the home, a whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter option. The resin in the tank swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium and can capture other positively charged ions like strontium. Because strontium-90 is chemically strontium, it can be reduced by that same exchange process, making an ion exchange softener a practical choice for entry-point treatment in Overstreet homes.
To perform reliably in an Overstreet household, an ion exchange softener must be sized to your family’s water use and the mineral content of your supply. Regular salt regeneration restores the resin so it continues removing strontium, and routine maintenance preserves long-term performance. Protecting the softener with a prefilter can reduce sediment loading and extend media life. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results and recommend a whole-house configuration that targets strontium-90 without making the system more complicated than it needs to be.
