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 system. Although many people think of radon as an air issue, it can come from well water and other sources and be released into the air when you shower, run the dishwasher, or do laundry. Laird homeowners who are concerned about indoor air often consider testing both air and water so they fully understand where radon may be coming from in their houses.
Because radon has no taste, odor, or color, you can’t detect it by sampling a glass of water; testing is the only reliable way to know what’s in your supply. Levels can differ from one property to the next, so Laird residents should test their own water rather than relying on a neighbor’s results. If tests show elevated radon, taking actions that suit your home’s plumbing and daily water use—starting at the point the water enters the house—will give the best, most comprehensive protection.
To lower radon in household water, the most effective single treatment is usually 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 reaches showers, taps, and appliances. Because radon is a gas, systems that specifically foster gas transfer are generally more effective than typical sediment or carbon filters, delivering reduced radon throughout a Laird home rather than only at one faucet.
A whole-house aeration filter is a contained unit that mixes air with incoming water and vents the radon-laden air safely outdoors. Placed before the water heater and the rest of the plumbing, it treats all water used for bathing, cooking, and cleaning in your Laird residence. These systems can be paired with prefiltration to protect the aerator and downstream plumbing, and Mr. Pure Water can help you select the right model and install it for dependable, whole-home radon reduction.
