Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can dissolve into groundwater and make its way into a home’s water supply. While people often focus on radon in indoor air, it can also come from well water and other sources and be released into air when you shower, run the dishwasher, or do laundry. In Patrick AFB and across Brevard County, homeowners concerned about radon commonly evaluate both their water and indoor air to get a complete picture of exposure and decide next steps for their household.
Because radon has no taste, smell, or color, you can’t detect it by looking at your water—testing is the only reliable way to know what’s present. Levels can differ from street to street and between neighboring properties, so a test is the best first move for Patrick AFB residents whether you’re in a single-family home near the base or elsewhere in the Space Coast area. If testing shows elevated radon in your water, a whole-house solution that treats water at the mainline can be the most practical way to reduce exposure throughout your household.
The most effective single option for lowering radon in household water is typically a whole-house aeration system installed at the main water entry. Aeration moves radon out of the water and into a controlled airflow before water reaches showers, faucets, and appliances—an approach that addresses the gas directly rather than relying on sediment or carbon-only methods. For Patrick AFB homes, this means reduced radon throughout the plumbing system instead of at just one tap.
A whole-house aeration unit mixes incoming water with air inside a contained treatment chamber, then vents the radon-laden air safely outdoors while delivering treated water to the house. Installed ahead of the water heater and distribution lines, it protects all water uses—bathing, cooking, and cleaning—and can be paired with a prefilter to guard against the hard water and mineral scale common in Brevard County. Mr. Pure Water can assess your Patrick AFB home and recommend the right aeration configuration and prefiltration to keep the system running well.
