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 and occasionally other sources; when you run a shower, use the washing machine, or wash dishes, radon may be released from water into the air in your home. In Key West and elsewhere in Monroe County, homeowners addressing radon frequently consider both water and air pathways so they can protect their family across the whole house.
Because radon in water has no taste, smell, or color, you can’t detect it by looking at or tasting a glass of water. The only dependable way to know your levels is to test, since concentrations can differ from property to property — even between neighboring homes in Old Town or New Town. If testing shows elevated radon in your supply, choose treatments that suit your plumbing and daily water use; treating the water where it enters a Key West home is often the most practical strategy.
To reduce radon in household water, the single most effective treatment is generally a whole-house aeration system installed at the main water entry. Aeration strips radon out of the water by transferring it into an air stream before the water goes to showers, faucets, and appliances. Because radon is a gas, technologies that target gas transfer — like aeration — are typically more direct than sediment or carbon-only filters, and they provide reduced radon throughout the entire home.
A whole-house aeration filter is a self-contained unit that mixes air with incoming water and then vents the radon-containing air safely outdoors. Placed before the water heater and the rest of your plumbing, it treats all water used for bathing, cooking, and cleaning across your Key West residence and can be paired with prefiltration to protect the aeration equipment and downstream fixtures from corrosion accelerated by salt air. Mr. Pure Water can help you pick the right aeration system and location for reliable, whole-home radon reduction.
