Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can dissolve into groundwater and reach a home's plumbing. While many people think of radon as an indoor air concern, it can be present in well water and other sources and then escape into the air when you shower, run the dishwasher, or do laundry. Betts homeowners who worry about radon often consider testing both their water and indoor air to get a complete picture and decide what to do next.
Because radon has no taste, smell, or color, you can't detect it by sampling from a tap—testing is the only reliable option. Levels can vary from street to street and between neighboring properties, so a test at your Betts house is the best way to know whether treatment is needed. If results indicate elevated radon in your water, a solution tailored to your plumbing and daily water use—often a whole-house strategy—will address the problem where water first enters the home.
The single most effective in-home treatment for reducing radon in water is typically a whole-house aeration system installed at the main water line. Aeration forces radon out of the water and into a controlled air stream before the water reaches showers, faucets, and appliances, which is more direct than sediment or carbon filters for this gas. For Betts residences, that means lower radon levels throughout the entire house instead of only at one fixture.
A whole-house aeration unit mixes air with incoming water inside a sealed treatment chamber, then vents the radon-bearing air safely outdoors. Installed ahead of your water heater and plumbing, it treats all water used for bathing, cooking, and cleaning in your Betts home. When necessary, prefiltration can be added to protect the aeration system and downstream plumbing. Mr. Pure Water can assess your Betts property and recommend the right aeration setup and placement for dependable whole-home radon reduction.
