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 supply. While people usually think of radon as an indoor air problem, it can come from well water or other sources and be released into the air when you shower, run the dishwasher, or do laundry. Century homeowners often consider both water and air when checking for radon because activities that use water can move the gas from your plumbing into the rooms where your family breathes.
Because radon has no taste, smell, or color, you can’t tell from a glass whether it’s in your water, so testing is the only reliable way to know. Levels can differ dramatically from one property to the next, so even neighbors in Century may have different results. If tests show higher radon in your water, it makes sense to choose treatments that match your home’s plumbing and daily water use. Treating the water where it enters the house provides protection for every faucet and appliance.
The most effective single treatment for reducing radon in household water is usually a whole-house aeration system installed at the main water entry. Aeration removes radon by transferring the gas from water into a controlled air stream before the water goes to showers, sinks, and appliances. Because radon is a gas, aeration-based solutions target gas transfer directly and are generally more effective for this contaminant than sediment or carbon-only filters, lowering radon throughout the entire home.
A whole-house aeration filter is a self-contained unit that mixes air with incoming water and then vents the radon-laden air safely outside the home. Installed before the water heater and main plumbing, it treats all water used for bathing, cooking, and cleaning in Century homes. These systems can be paired with prefiltration when needed to protect the aerator and downstream plumbing. Mr. Pure Water can assess your Century property and recommend the right aeration system and placement for consistent, whole-home radon reduction.
