Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that may occur in water at very low concentrations. Because it acts like calcium chemically, it can stay dissolved in groundwater and enter a Surfside home through the main service line. You won’t detect it by taste, smell, or sight — the only reliable way to know if it’s present is through laboratory testing for radionuclides.
In Surfside households, water is used for many daily activities — cooking, ice makers, showers, and brushing teeth — so drinking water concerns extend beyond the kitchen tap. If a water test identifies elevated strontium-90, the most effective step is treating water where it enters your home so every fixture receives the same protection. Single faucet, point-of-use filters can help at one location but won’t safeguard appliances or outdoor spigots; a whole-house solution offers consistent coverage for all household uses.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the best single-filter choice for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. Because strontium behaves chemically like other positively charged minerals, it can be captured by the same exchange process. Installing an ion exchange softener at the main line gives Surfside homes treatment at every tap while also addressing hard water effects common in Miami-Dade County.
To be effective in a Surfside home, an ion exchange softener should be sized for your household’s daily water use and the local hard water mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it can continue reducing strontium, and routine maintenance preserves long-term performance. Using prefiltration helps protect the media from sediment and coastal mineral scale; Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend the right whole-house setup for your property.
