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. Although people often think of radon as an indoor air concern, it can come from well water and other sources and be released into the air when you shower, run the dishwasher, or do laundry. Mildred homeowners commonly consider both water and indoor air when evaluating radon, since everyday water use can move the gas from plumbing into the rooms of your house.
Radon in water has no taste, smell, or color, so you won’t detect it by sampling a glass from the tap. The only way to know what’s present in your household water is to test, because levels can vary from one property to the next. If testing in Mildred shows elevated radon, treating at the point where water enters the house is often the most practical route for protecting every faucet, shower and appliance you use daily.
The most effective single treatment for reducing radon in household water is a whole-house aeration system installed on the main water line as it enters the home. Aeration removes radon by transferring the gas from the water into a controlled air stream prior to distribution, which is generally more effective for a gaseous contaminant than sediment or carbon-only filters. Installed properly, an aeration unit lowers radon across the entire plumbing system rather than at just one tap.
A whole-house aeration filter mixes air with incoming water inside a contained treatment unit and then vents the radon-laden air safely outdoors. Placed before the water heater and your home’s distribution lines, it treats all water used for bathing, cooking and cleaning and helps prevent scale issues that can be common with hard groundwater in our area. Paired with prefiltration when needed, an aeration system will run more reliably; Mr. Pure Water can assess Mildred homes and recommend the right aeration setup and placement for consistent, whole-home radon reduction.
