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. While many people think of radon as an indoor air concern, it can also be present in well water and sometimes other sources, releasing into the air when you run showers, do laundry, or wash dishes. Edgewood homeowners often consider both water and air testing together when evaluating radon because household activities can move radon from water into the air you breathe.
Because radon in water has no taste, smell, or color, you won’t detect it by sight or casual use. The only dependable way to know your levels is to test, since concentrations can differ even between nearby properties here in Orange County neighborhoods like Pine Castle or Belle Isle. If testing finds elevated radon in your water, treatment choices should match your home’s plumbing and daily water use; many Edgewood residents prefer a whole-house solution that treats water where it enters the property.
To lower radon throughout a house, the most effective single treatment is usually a whole-house aeration system installed at the main water entry. Aeration strips radon from the water by transferring it into an air stream before the water reaches showers, faucets, and appliances. Because radon is a gas, methods that focus on gas transfer—rather than just sediment or carbon filters—tend to be more directly effective, delivering reduced radon across the entire plumbing system.
A whole-house aeration filter is a self-contained unit that mixes air with incoming water and vents the radon-laden air safely outdoors, typically installed before the water heater and house plumbing. In Edgewood’s humid subtropical climate with hard municipal and groundwater, pairing the aeration unit with prefiltration can help prevent mineral scale and keep the system operating efficiently. Mr. Pure Water can evaluate your home — whether near Lake Jessamine or the Conway area — and recommend the right aeration setup and prefiltration to protect your whole-home water supply.
