Including filter system and high-performance Radon filter.
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can dissolve into groundwater and find its way into a home’s water supply. Though people usually think about radon as an indoor air concern, it can also be in well water or other local sources and be released into the air when you shower, run a dishwasher, or wash clothes. Open Sands homeowners who worry about radon often consider testing and addressing both water and air, since water use can send radon into the rooms where families live and breathe.
Because radon in water has no taste, smell, or color, you can’t detect it by sight or by tasting a glass. The only dependable way to know whether your home’s water contains elevated radon is to test it, since levels can differ greatly even between nearby properties. If testing shows elevated radon in an Open Sands home, taking steps that suit your plumbing and daily water use—often a whole-house strategy—will address the problem where water first enters the house.
To reduce radon in household water, the most effective single treatment is usually a whole-house aeration system installed at the main water entry point. Aeration strips radon from water by transferring the gas into a controlled air stream before water reaches showers, faucets, and appliances. Because radon is a gas, air-exchange technologies are generally more direct and effective than sediment or carbon filters for this specific contaminant, and they lower radon throughout the entire home rather than at just one tap.
A whole-house aeration filter is a contained treatment unit that mixes air with incoming water and vents the radon-laden air safely outdoors. Placed before the water heater and the home’s plumbing, it treats water used for bathing, cooking, and cleaning across the house. When needed, it can be paired with prefiltration to protect the aeration unit and downstream plumbing. Mr. Pure Water in Open Sands can assess your property and recommend the right aeration setup and placement for reliable whole-home radon reduction.
