Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can occur at very low levels in water. Because it acts much like calcium, it can dissolve into groundwater and travel through supply lines into a house via the main water service. There’s no reliable taste, smell, or color to signal its presence, so the only way to know if your Tamarac water contains it is to run a lab test that looks for radionuclides.
In Tamarac households, water is part of almost everything we do — cooking, making ice, bathing, and brushing teeth — so concerns about strontium-90 often come up alongside drinking-water safety. If testing finds higher-than-desired levels, the best approach is to treat water at the point it enters the home so every faucet and appliance is covered. Point-of-use devices protect a single tap, but they leave the rest of a Broward County home unprotected; a well-chosen whole-house system delivers consistent treatment across daily use.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the single most effective filter type for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That ion-exchange process also captures other positively charged elements, including strontium, so treating water at the Tamarac service line with a properly configured softener can reduce the contaminant as water is distributed through the house.
To be effective in Tamarac — where Broward County water tends to be hard — an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s flow and mineral load. Routine regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues to remove strontium, and simple maintenance plus a good prefilter helps prevent sediment from fouling the media. Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup sized for your home, whether you live near Tamarac Veterans' Park, Colony West Golf Club, or in neighborhoods like Woodlands Country Club.
