Including filter system and high-performance Radon filter.
Radon is a naturally formed radioactive gas that can dissolve into groundwater and find its way into a home’s water supply. Although most people think of radon as an indoor air concern, it can also be present in well water and, less commonly, other sources — and when Holt residents run a shower, wash clothes, or fill the dishwasher, radon can transfer from water into the air. That’s why many homeowners in Holt consider testing and addressing both water and indoor air when they’re concerned about radon.
Radon in water has no taste, smell, or color, so you can’t detect it by sight or flavor in a glass. The only dependable way to know if it’s in your Holt home’s water is to test, since levels can differ from one property to the next. If testing shows elevated radon, taking action that fits your plumbing and daily water use can make a big difference — and many Holt homeowners choose whole-house solutions that treat water as it enters the plumbing.
To lower radon throughout the house, the most effective single treatment is usually a whole-house aeration system installed at the main water entry. Aeration strips radon gas out of the water by exposing it to air and then vents that air away from the home, which is often more effective for a gaseous contaminant than sediment or carbon filters. With an aeration unit in place, radon levels in water supplied to showers, sinks, and appliances are reduced across the entire Holt home.
A whole-house aeration filter is a packaged treatment that mixes air into incoming water and safely vents the radon-laden air outdoors, and it’s installed before the water heater and branch plumbing so all household uses are treated. These systems can be combined with prefiltration when source water needs particle removal to protect the aerator and downstream fixtures. Mr. Pure Water’s Holt team can help you pick the right aeration system size and install it where it will provide consistent, whole-home radon reduction.
