Including filter system and high-performance Radon filter.
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can dissolve into groundwater and enter a home’s water supply. Though people often think of radon as an indoor air concern, it can come from well water and, less commonly, other sources. Everyday activities—running a shower, doing laundry, or washing dishes—can release radon from water into the air in your home, so many Dennet homeowners consider both water and air when addressing radon.
Because radon in water has no taste, smell, or color, you won’t detect it by sight or smell in a glass of water. The only dependable way to know what’s in your supply is to test, since levels can differ from street to street and even between neighboring properties. If testing near Dennet shows elevated radon in your water, taking action that matches your plumbing layout and daily water use is wise—treating the water at the point it enters the house provides protection for every faucet and appliance.
To reduce radon in household water, the most effective single treatment is usually a whole-house aeration system installed where the main water line comes into the home. Aeration strips radon from water by transferring the gas into a controlled air stream before the water is distributed to showers, sinks, and appliances. Because radon is a gas, gas-transfer technologies like aeration are generally more effective for this contaminant than typical sediment or carbon filters, giving lower radon throughout your Dennet home rather than at just one tap.
A whole-house aeration filter is a self-contained unit that mixes incoming water with air, then safely vents the radon-laden air outside the home. Installed before your water heater and main plumbing, it treats all the water you use for bathing, cooking, and cleaning. When needed, it can be paired with prefiltration to protect the system and downstream plumbing. Mr. Pure Water can assess your Dennet property and recommend the right aeration system and placement for consistent whole-home radon reduction.
