Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can be present in water at very low concentrations. Because it acts like calcium, it moves with groundwater and can enter a house through the main supply line — a concern for homeowners in Three Lakes who commonly draw from the Floridan aquifer. There’s no reliable taste, smell, or color to signal its presence, so the only way to confirm it is with water testing targeted for radionuclides.
People in Three Lakes use water for cooking, ice, bathing and oral care, so any contaminant found in tests can affect everyday routines. If water testing shows elevated strontium-90, reducing exposure means treating the water where it enters the home so every fixture receives protection. Point-of-use filters on a single tap help in one spot, but a whole-house solution covers showers, laundry and all faucets throughout your Osceola County home.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter option for removing strontium-90 because the resin swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. Since strontium is chemically similar to calcium, it can be captured by that same exchange process, making an ion exchange softener a practical choice for entry-point treatment in Three Lakes homes.
For reliable performance in hard Floridan aquifer water, the softener must be sized to your household’s water use and mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin’s ability to remove strontium, and routine maintenance keeps the system working well. In many local homes, adding a prefilter helps protect the resin from sediment that can shorten its life; Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend the right whole-house setup for Three Lakes without overcomplicating things.
