Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can travel with groundwater and show up in household water without taste, smell, or color. In Placid Lakes and surrounding Highlands County areas where many homes use wells, contaminants that move like calcium can dissolve into well water and enter your plumbing through the main line. The only reliable way to know whether your water contains strontium-90 is to have a radionuclide-focused water test performed.
You use home water for cooking, making ice, bathing, and brushing teeth — not just drinking — so any contaminant that reaches your taps matters for everyday exposure. If testing in Placid Lakes shows elevated strontium-90, reducing contact means treating water at the point it enters your home so every fixture is covered. Single faucet point-of-use filters protect only one tap; for broader, consistent protection across a hard-water area like ours, a whole-house system is the better option.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is commonly the most effective single-filter approach for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same exchange mechanism can also remove positively charged contaminants such as strontium, so installing an ion exchange softener at the main line provides treatment for water used throughout a Placid Lakes home.
To perform well in Placid Lakes — where groundwater and hard water can cause scale buildup — an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household demand and mineral levels. Regular salt-based regeneration restores the resin so it continues to capture strontium, and routine maintenance plus a good sediment prefilter helps protect the media from the higher mineral and particle content common with wells. Mr. Pure Water can review your lab results and recommend the right whole-house softener setup for your home without adding unnecessary complexity.
