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 a residence through the main supply line. There’s no reliable taste, smell, or color to signal its presence, so the only practical way to know if it’s in your plumbing is through laboratory testing for radionuclides — something Washington Park homeowners can arrange if they’re concerned.
In addition to drinking, water in your Washington Park house is used for cooking, making ice, bathing, and brushing teeth — everyday activities where any contaminant in the supply travels throughout the home. If tests show elevated strontium-90, the aim is to treat incoming water at the point it enters the house so all fixtures receive the same protection. Point-of-use devices serve a single faucet, but a whole-house system gives consistent coverage for showers, laundry, dishwashing and every tap in the home.
When removing strontium-90 for an entire house, a whole-house water softener is often the single most effective filter because it uses ion exchange. The resin in the softener swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium and can capture other positively charged ions like strontium. Because strontium-90 is chemically strontium, it can be reduced by this exchange process, making an ion exchange softener a practical entry-point treatment for Washington Park homes.
To perform reliably in South Florida’s hard-water conditions, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s flow rates and mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues to remove strontium, and routine maintenance prevents performance drop-off. Adding a quality prefilter helps keep sand and sediment out of the media, extending its life. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test results and recommend a whole-house softener setup for Washington Park that targets strontium-90 without making the system more complex than it needs to be.
