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 acts much like calcium, it can move with groundwater and enter a home through the main service line, and there are no reliable tastes, odors, or colors to signal its presence. The only way to know whether your Sanford Farms water contains strontium-90 is through targeted water testing for radionuclides.
Water is used for drinking, cooking, making ice, bathing and brushing teeth, so concerns about strontium-90 often extend beyond a single faucet. If testing shows elevated levels, reducing exposure at the point the water enters your house is the most complete approach. Point-of-use devices protect one location, but a whole-house system provides coverage for every fixture — a practical consideration for homes in Sanford Farms where mineral-rich groundwater can contribute to scale and appliance wear.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is frequently the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That ion exchange process can also capture other positively charged contaminants such as strontium, so a properly selected softener treats water at the entry point to your home and provides continuous protection for all taps in Sanford Farms.
For dependable performance, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s water use and the local mineral content. Regular regeneration with salt renews the resin so it continues to remove strontium over time, and prefiltration helps keep sediment from shortening media life — a useful step in Central Florida’s mineral-rich groundwater areas. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup for Sanford Farms that targets strontium-90 without overcomplicating your system.
