Including filter system and high-performance Radon filter.
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can dissolve into groundwater and reach a home’s plumbing. Though most people think of radon as an indoor air concern, it can also be present in well water and occasionally other supplies, releasing into the air when you shower, run the dishwasher, or do laundry. In Lantana and nearby Palm Beach County neighborhoods, homeowners who are addressing radon often consider both water and air pathways so they reduce exposure throughout the house.
Because radon has no taste, smell, or color, you can’t detect it by looking at or tasting a glass of water. The only reliable way to know your home’s levels is to test, since concentrations can vary from house to house—even within Lantana’s Hypoluxo Island, Lantana Heights, or Hibiscus Point areas. If testing finds elevated radon in your water, a remediation plan that fits your plumbing layout and daily water use is important; many homeowners in the region choose a point-of-entry solution to treat water as it arrives to the home.
When the goal is reducing radon in household water, the single most effective treatment is generally a whole-house aeration system installed at the main water line. Aeration forces radon out of the water into a controlled airflow before the water reaches showers, faucets, and appliances — a direct approach since radon is a gas. Compared with sediment or carbon-only filters, aeration targets gas transfer and can lower radon throughout the entire home rather than only at a single tap.
A whole-house aeration filter is a contained unit that mixes incoming water with air and then vents the radon-laden air safely outdoors; it’s installed prior to the water heater and the rest of your plumbing so it treats all water used for bathing, cooking, and cleaning. In Lantana’s hard-water conditions, pairing aeration with appropriate prefiltration can reduce mineral scale buildup and help the system run well over time.
