Including filter system and high-performance Radon filter.
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can dissolve into groundwater and make its way into a home’s water supply. While most people associate radon with indoor air, it can also originate in well water and other sources; when you run a shower, do laundry, or wash dishes, radon can be released from water into the air. Auburn homeowners who are concerned about radon often consider testing and addressing both their water and indoor air to reduce potential exposure.
Because radon in water has no taste, smell, or color, you can’t detect it by looking at a glass or turning on a tap. The only reliable way to know whether your Auburn home’s water contains elevated radon is to test, since levels can differ from street to street. If testing shows higher radon in the water, taking action that suits your home’s plumbing and daily water use is a smart next step—treating the water where it enters the house provides protection for every bathroom, kitchen, and appliance.
The single most effective in-home treatment for reducing radon in water is usually a whole-house aeration system installed at the main water entry point. Aeration forces radon out of the water and into a controlled air stream before the water reaches showers, faucets, and appliances. Because radon is a gas, methods that transfer gas out of the water are generally more effective than standard sediment or carbon filters, and a properly designed aeration unit lowers radon throughout the entire Auburn home rather than at just one tap.
A whole-house aeration filter is a contained treatment unit that mixes air with incoming water and vents the radon-laden air safely outdoors. Installed ahead of the water heater and main plumbing, it treats all the water you use for bathing, cooking, and cleaning and can be paired with prefiltration to protect the system and downstream pipes. Mr. Pure Water in Auburn can help you pick the right aeration configuration and placement so your whole house receives reliable radon reduction.
