Including filter system and high-performance Radon filter.
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can dissolve into groundwater and reach a home's water lines. While many people think of radon as an indoor air issue, it can also occur in well water and other sources, releasing into the air when you shower, do laundry, or run the dishwasher. In Avon Park Lakes and other parts of Highlands County, homeowners who are concerned about radon often consider testing both their water and indoor air to get the full picture.
Because radon has no taste, odor, or color, you can’t detect it by sampling a glass of water—testing is the only reliable way to know your levels. Radon concentrations can vary from one property to the next, so neighborhood results aren’t a substitute for a home-specific test. If your test shows elevated radon in your Avon Park Lakes water, choosing a solution that fits your plumbing layout and daily water use is important; treating at the point where water enters the house provides whole-home protection.
The most effective single treatment for reducing radon in household water is usually a whole-house aeration system installed on the main water line. Aeration removes radon by transferring the gas from water into a controlled air stream before the water is sent to showers, faucets, and appliances. Because radon is a gas, aeration systems that focus on gas transfer are typically more direct than standard sediment or carbon filters, and they lower radon throughout the entire home rather than at just one tap.
A whole-house aeration filter is a packaged unit that mixes air with incoming water and vents the radon-laden air safely outdoors. Installed ahead of your water heater and main plumbing, it treats all water used for bathing, cooking, and cleaning. In central Florida’s hard groundwater areas like Avon Park Lakes, pairing the aeration unit with prefiltration can reduce mineral scale and help the system run smoothly.
