Including filter system and high-performance Radon filter.
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can dissolve into groundwater and find its way into a home’s plumbing. Although it’s often discussed as an indoor air concern, radon can also be present in well water and, less commonly, other water sources — and activities like showering, doing laundry, or running the dishwasher can release it from water into the air. In Coral Gables, homeowners who want peace of mind often consider testing both their water and indoor air to understand and address any radon-related exposure.
You can’t taste, smell, or see radon in water, so testing is the only reliable way to know whether it’s present in your supply. Levels can differ block to block, so a result at one Coral Gables property won’t necessarily tell you about your neighbor’s home. If tests show elevated radon in your water, taking action that suits your plumbing layout and daily water use — from downtown Miracle Mile condos to single-family homes in Gables Estates or Granada — is a sensible next step. Treating water where it enters the house gives the most consistent protection for every tap.
The single most effective in-home treatment for reducing radon in water is generally a whole-house aeration system installed at the main water entry point. Aeration strips radon out of water by forcing gas transfer into an air stream that’s then properly vented, which is more direct for a gaseous contaminant than sediment or carbon-only filters. Installed this way, aeration lowers radon throughout your Coral Gables home — from showers to laundry — rather than treating just one faucet at a time.
A whole-house aeration filter is a self-contained unit that mixes incoming water with air and vents the radon-rich air safely outside the home. Placed before the water heater and main plumbing, it treats all household water used for bathing, cooking, and cleaning. In Coral Gables, where hard water from South Florida’s limestone aquifer can cause scale, aeration systems are often paired with prefiltration to protect the unit and downstream plumbing. Mr. Pure Water can assess your property — whether near the Biltmore Hotel area or in Hammock Oaks — and recommend the right aeration configuration and pretreatment to keep the system performing reliably.
