Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can occur in water at trace levels and moves through groundwater much like calcium. Because it behaves chemically like calcium, it dissolves and travels with water and can enter a house through the main service line without any taste, smell, or visible sign. The only reliable way to know if it’s present in a Saga Bay home’s water is to test specifically for radionuclides.
In Saga Bay households, water is used for drinking, cooking, ice makers, bathing, and oral care, so any contaminant found on a test can affect daily life throughout the home. While a point-of-use filter can treat a single sink, it won’t protect showers, laundry, or other taps around your house. If testing shows elevated strontium-90, treating water at the entry point with a whole-house system gives consistent protection for all fixtures across the property.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because its 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 Saga Bay service entry provides treatment for the whole house rather than just one faucet.
To perform well in Saga Bay—where South Florida supplies are commonly hard—the softener must be sized to your household’s water use and mineral load so the resin can effectively remove strontium over time. Regular regeneration with salt restores the media, and adding prefiltration helps keep sand and sediment from fouling the resin. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test and recommend a whole-house softener and prefilter combination tuned to Saga Bay conditions that balances performance and maintenance.
