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. Though people often think of radon as an indoor air concern, it can also be present in well water or other sources and be released into air when you shower, run the dishwasher, or do laundry. Homeowners in Chapel Hill should consider both water and air pathways when checking for radon exposure in their houses.
Because radon in water has no taste, smell, or color, you can't detect it by sampling a glass—testing is the only dependable option. Levels can differ from property to property, so Chapel Hill residents should test their own supply rather than rely on neighbors' results. If tests find elevated radon, solutions should be chosen to match your home's plumbing and daily water use; treating the water where it enters the house is the most comprehensive way to reduce radon throughout the home.
The single most effective treatment for reducing radon in household water is usually a whole-house aeration system placed at the main water entry. Aeration strips radon out of the water by transferring it into air and venting that air away before the water reaches showers, taps, and appliances. Because radon is a gas, aeration-based technologies directly address gas transfer in ways that sediment or standard carbon filters do not, lowering radon levels across the entire Chapel Hill home rather than only at individual fixtures.
A whole-house aeration filter is a contained unit that mixes incoming water with air and safely vents the radon-laden air outside your home; it’s installed ahead of the water heater and the rest of the plumbing so all bathing, cooking, and cleaning water is treated. In many Chapel Hill homes this system is paired with prefiltration to protect the aerator and downstream plumbing. Mr. Pure Water can evaluate your property and recommend the right aeration configuration and placement for consistent, whole-home radon reduction.
