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 mimics calcium chemically, it can move with groundwater and enter a home through the main water supply, and it won’t give off any reliable taste, smell, or color to alert you. The only way to know whether it’s present is through testing that specifically looks for radionuclides — something homeowners in The Hammocks can arrange if they’re concerned about their water.
You use household water for much more than drinking — cooking, ice, bathing and brushing teeth all involve the same supply. If lab results show elevated strontium-90, the safest strategy is to treat water at the point it enters the house so every faucet and appliance in The Hammocks gets the same protection. Single point-of-use filters help one sink, but a whole-house system covers daily water use across the property, which is especially useful in hard-water areas like Miami-Dade County where mineral concerns are common.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the best single-filter choice for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same exchange process can remove positively charged contaminants such as strontium, so installing an entry-point softener provides treatment for all fixtures throughout The Hammocks residence. This makes ion exchange a practical option when you want to address strontium-90 at the main line.
To be effective in The Hammocks, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s water use and the local hard-water mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin’s capacity to remove strontium over time, and routine maintenance helps sustain performance. Using a good prefilter ahead of the softener also protects the media from sediment that can shorten its life. Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup tailored to homes in The Hammocks and Miami-Dade’s hard-water conditions.
