Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can occur in water at very low concentrations. Because it behaves like calcium, it can dissolve into groundwater and enter your house through the main supply line, and it won’t give off any reliable taste, smell, or color to warn you. The only way to determine whether it’s present in your Pinecrest plumbing is through laboratory testing for radionuclides.
In Pinecrest households, water touches everything from cooking and ice makers to showers and toothbrushes, so concerns about strontium-90 often go beyond just drinking water. If testing identifies elevated levels, treating water at the home’s entry point reduces exposure across every fixture. While point-of-use filters can protect a single tap, they leave the rest of a Coral Gables or Dadeland home unprotected; a correctly chosen whole-house system delivers consistent treatment for daily needs throughout the house.
A whole-house water softener that uses 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 process can capture positively charged contaminants like strontium, so installing an ion exchange softener at the Pinecrest property’s main line gives treatment to every tap and appliance.
To be effective in Pinecrest’s typically hard Miami-Dade water, 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 removing strontium, and routine maintenance plus a good prefilter helps prevent sediment from shortening media life. Mr. Pure Water can evaluate your test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup that targets strontium-90 while addressing local hard-water concerns.
