Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can show up in water at very low concentrations. Because it acts much like calcium, it can dissolve into groundwater and travel through the main supply into a West Little River home without changing the water’s taste, smell, or color. The only reliable way to confirm its presence is with laboratory testing that looks for radionuclides.
In West Little River households, water plays many roles — cooking, ice, showers and oral care — so any contaminant in the main line can affect everyday uses. While point-of-use filters help at a single sink, they won’t treat water used in baths, the washing machine, or outdoor spigots. If tests show elevated strontium-90, treating the water at the entry point with a whole-house system is the most reliable way to reduce exposure across the entire home.
For removing strontium-90, a whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter option. The resin in the softener swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium and can also capture positively charged contaminants like strontium, so chemically similar strontium-90 is reduced through the same exchange. For many West Little River homes on Miami‑Dade’s typically hard water, an ion exchange softener delivers treatment right at the point water enters the house.
An ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s usage and the general mineral content common in Miami‑Dade County to work well. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin so it continues removing strontium, and routine maintenance protects performance—especially on hard water that can cause scale buildup in plumbing and water heaters. Prefiltration to remove sediment will also help the media last longer; Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a whole-house configuration suited for West Little River homes.
