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 mimics calcium chemically, it moves with groundwater and may enter a house through the main supply line. It won’t change taste, smell, or appearance, so the only practical way to know whether it’s present in your Princeton water is through focused radionuclide testing.
We use water for many daily tasks — cooking, ice, bathing and brushing teeth — so concerns about strontium-90 often extend beyond the kitchen tap. If testing indicates elevated levels, reducing household exposure means treating water at the point it enters your home so every fixture benefits. Point-of-use filters protect single faucets, but a whole-house system gives consistent coverage for all water use in Princeton and nearby Miami-Dade neighborhoods.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter approach for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same exchange process can capture positively charged contaminants such as strontium, so an ion exchange softener can reduce strontium-90 as water is treated at your Princeton service entry.
To perform well in hard Miami-Dade water, an ion exchange softener must be sized to your household’s usage and mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin’s capacity to remove strontium, and routine maintenance helps maintain effectiveness; prefiltration also protects the media from sediment that can shorten its life. Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a properly sized whole-house setup for Princeton that targets strontium-90 without unnecessary complexity.
