Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can dissolve into groundwater and reach a home’s water supply. Most people think of radon as an indoor air concern, but it can also come through well water or other sources and be released into the air when you shower, do laundry, or run the dishwasher. Homeowners in New Harmony often evaluate both water and indoor air when checking for radon because activities that use water can send the gas into the rooms you live in.
Because radon has no taste, smell, or color, you can’t detect it by sampling a glass of water; testing is the only reliable way to know what’s present. Levels can differ from street to street and even between neighboring properties, so New Harmony residents are encouraged to test their own water if they have concerns. If tests indicate elevated radon in the supply, taking action tailored to your home’s plumbing and daily water use—often starting at the point where water enters the house—can be an effective next step.
To reduce radon throughout the household, the single most effective treatment is usually a whole-house aeration system installed at the main water entry. Aeration strips radon out of water by transferring the gas into a controlled air stream before the water goes to showers, faucets, and appliances. Because radon is a gas, methods that focus on gas transfer tend to be more direct and effective than typical sediment or carbon filters, giving New Harmony homeowners lower radon levels across the entire plumbing system rather than only at one tap.
A whole-house aeration unit is a self-contained system that mixes air with incoming water and then vents the radon-bearing air safely outside the home. Placed before the water heater and main distribution, it treats water used for bathing, cooking, and cleaning across the property. These systems can be paired with prefiltration when needed to protect the aerator and downstream plumbing.
