Including filter system and high-performance Radon filter.
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can dissolve into groundwater and show up in a home's water supply. While people usually hear about radon as an indoor air issue, it can also be carried in well water or other local sources and be released into the air when you shower, wash dishes, or run the washing machine. That’s why homeowners in Bascom often consider both water and air when checking for radon and planning any mitigation steps.
Radon in water has no taste, smell, or color, so you can't detect it by looking at or tasting your tap water. The only reliable way to know whether your Bascom home’s water contains radon is to test it, because levels can differ from property to property. If testing shows elevated radon, it makes sense to choose treatments that match your home's plumbing and daily water use; treating water at the point it enters the house is often the most practical whole-house solution.
The most effective single treatment for reducing radon in household water is usually a whole-house aeration system installed where the main water line enters your home. Aeration strips radon from the water by transferring the gas into a controlled air stream before the water reaches showers, faucets, and appliances. Because radon is a gas, processes that focus on moving gases out of water are generally more direct than sediment or carbon filters, and they lower radon throughout the entire house rather than at a single tap.
A whole-house aeration filter is a contained treatment unit that mixes air with incoming water and vents the radon-rich air safely outdoors. Placed before the water heater and main plumbing, it treats all the water you use for bathing, cooking, and laundry. When needed, prefiltration can be added to protect the aeration system and prolong its performance. Mr. Pure Water in Bascom can assess your plumbing and recommend the right aeration setup and placement for reliable whole-home radon reduction.
