Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can appear in water at very low concentrations. Because it acts like calcium, it can dissolve into groundwater and travel through the main line into a Weston residence without changing taste, smell, or color. The only reliable way to confirm its presence is with laboratory testing that specifically looks for radionuclides.
Families in Weston use water for much more than drinking—cooking, making ice, bathing and brushing teeth all rely on the same supply. If your test results show elevated strontium-90, the best way to lower exposure is to treat water at the point it enters the house so every faucet and shower is covered. Point-of-use cartridges serve a single sink, but won’t protect appliances or outdoor spigots; a whole-house system gives consistent protection across daily water use in Broward County homes.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin swaps dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same exchange mechanism can also capture positively charged contaminants like strontium, so installing an ion exchange softener at the Weston service entry treats water before it reaches fixtures and appliances.
To perform well in Weston’s typically hard water, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household’s usage and mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt renews the resin so it continues removing strontium, and routine maintenance prevents scale and protects media life—especially important in homes around Weston Hills, Savanna, or Bonaventure where scale buildup is a common concern. Pairing the softener with prefiltration to reduce sediment often improves longevity. Mr. Pure Water can review your test results and recommend a whole-house setup that targets strontium-90 without adding needless complexity.
