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 groundwater. Because it acts much like calcium, it can dissolve in aquifer water and travel through mains into Richmond Heights homes without any change in taste, smell, or appearance to warn you. The only reliable way to find it is with laboratory testing that measures radionuclides specifically.
In Richmond Heights households the water you use for cooking, making ice, bathing and brushing teeth is the same water supplied to every faucet, so concerns about strontium-90 are about whole-home exposure, not just one sink. If testing indicates elevated levels, the practical approach is to treat water at the point it enters your house so every fixture is covered. Point-of-use devices protect a single tap, but they leave the rest of a Miami-Dade property—where hard, mineral-rich water is common—unprotected; a properly chosen whole-house system gives consistent treatment throughout daily use.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most practical single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same exchange process that removes calcium and other hardness minerals can also capture positively charged strontium ions, making an ion exchange softener a sensible choice for treating Richmond Heights water at the entry point to your home.
To be effective in Richmond Heights—where Miami-Dade drinking water is commonly hard—an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s flow and mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin’s ability to remove strontium, and routine maintenance plus good prefiltration helps protect the media from sediment and mineral scale. Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup that targets strontium-90 while fitting local water conditions and daily usage.
