Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that may appear in water at very low concentrations. Because it acts a lot like calcium, it can dissolve into groundwater and travel through the main line into a West Park house without altering taste, smell, or color. The only reliable way to detect it is with laboratory testing that specifically screens for radionuclides.
In West Park households, water is used for cooking, ice, bathing and brushing teeth — not just drinking — so any contaminant detected by testing can matter at every fixture. Point-of-use cartridges treat a single tap, but they won’t stop exposure elsewhere in the home. A correctly chosen whole-house system provides protection across showers, laundry and all faucets, giving broader coverage for families in Broward County neighborhoods.
When looking to reduce strontium-90 throughout the house, a whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter option. The resin bed swaps certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium and can also remove positively charged contaminants like strontium. Because strontium-90 is chemically the same element, an ion exchange softener can reduce its concentration at the home’s entry point.
To be effective in West Park — where Broward County municipal water is typically hard and can cause scale buildup — an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household water use and mineral load. Regular salt-based regeneration restores the resin’s ability to remove strontium over time, and routine maintenance plus a good prefilter helps protect the media from sediment. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test and recommend a whole-house softener setup that targets strontium-90 while keeping systems simple and reliable.
