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 behaves much like calcium, it moves with groundwater and can enter houses through the main service line without changing taste, smell, or color. The only dependable way to find out whether it’s present in your Sun-Tan Village water is a laboratory test that looks specifically for radionuclides.
Families in Sun-Tan Village use water for drinking, cooking, making ice, bathing, and brushing teeth, so any contaminant that shows up on a test matters throughout the home. While a point-of-use filter can protect a single tap, it won’t safeguard showers, laundry, or irrigation. A correctly chosen whole-house system treats water at the entry point and provides coverage across everyday uses—especially useful here where Florida homes sometimes face mineral scale or sediment depending on whether the supply is municipal or from a private well.
When the goal is to reduce strontium-90 throughout the house, a whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter option. The softener resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium and can capture other positively charged contaminants like strontium. Because strontium-90 is chemically strontium, it can be reduced by this same exchange process, making an ion exchange system a practical choice for entry-point treatment in Sun-Tan Village homes.
For reliable performance, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household water use and the overall mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin’s ability to remove strontium over time, and routine maintenance helps sustain effectiveness. In Florida, prefiltration often pays off by keeping sediment and mineral scale from wearing the media prematurely. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test and recommend a whole-house softener and prefilter setup that targets Strontium-90 without adding unnecessary complexity.
