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 moves with groundwater and can enter a Parkland home through the main supply line without any change in taste, smell, or appearance to warn you. The only reliable way to know if it’s present is to have your water tested for radionuclides by a qualified lab.
In Parkland homes, water is used for everything from cooking and making ice to bathing and brushing teeth, so concerns about strontium-90 often extend beyond drinking water. If testing indicates elevated levels, the most effective strategy is to treat water at the entry point so all fixtures are covered. Point-of-use devices protect a single tap, but they leave the rest of your house—including showers and water heaters, which can be affected by South Florida’s hard water—unprotected. A well-chosen whole-house system gives consistent treatment across daily use.
When you want a single whole-house filter that addresses strontium-90, an ion exchange water softener is often the most practical option. These softeners use resin to swap certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium, and that same exchange can capture positively charged contaminants like strontium. Installed at the main line into your Parkland property, an ion exchange system treats water before it reaches any fixture, providing broad coverage for a household.
To be effective in Parkland’s often hard municipal water, an ion exchange softener needs to be sized for your family’s flow and mineral load and maintained with regular salt regeneration to refresh the resin. Adding a quality prefilter helps keep sediment out of the tank and extends media life—useful if you want reliable performance for homes in neighborhoods like Heron Bay or Terramar.
