Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can occur at very low levels in water. Because it mimics calcium, it can dissolve into groundwater and travel through distribution lines into a home’s plumbing, entering via the main service line. There’s no reliable taste, odor, or color to warn you it’s present, so the only way to know is with water testing that specifically looks for radionuclides.
In White City households, water is used for more than drinking — cooking, bathing, ice makers and tooth brushing all rely on the same supply. If tests show elevated strontium-90, the best strategy is to treat water at the point it enters your house so every tap is covered. Single faucet point-of-use filters can protect one outlet, but they won’t safeguard showers, laundry, or outdoor spigots; a correctly chosen whole-house system gives consistent protection for daily needs across your home.
A whole-house water softener that uses ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90, because the resin exchanges certain dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same exchange process can capture positively charged contaminants like strontium, so installing an ion exchange softener at the entry point treats water before it reaches fixtures throughout your White City home.
For reliable performance in South Miami-Dade’s hard water, an ion exchange softener must be sized for your household usage and mineral load. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin’s ability to remove strontium, and routine maintenance—often combined with good prefiltration to keep sediment out—helps the system last longer. Mr. Pure Water can review your lab results and recommend a whole-house softener setup that targets strontium-90 while addressing local concerns like scale from hard water.
