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 supply. Although most people think of radon as an indoor air concern, it can also come from well water and other sources in some areas. When you shower, run the washing machine, or do dishes, radon trapped in water can be released into the air inside your home. Homeowners in Perkins often consider testing and addressing both water and indoor air when they’re investigating radon risks.
Because radon has no taste, smell, or color, you can't detect it by sampling a glass of water. The only reliable way to know whether radon is present is to test, since levels can vary from property to property. If testing shows elevated radon in your water, it's sensible to choose solutions that match your plumbing setup and daily water use. For Perkins homeowners, treating radon at the point where water enters the house with a whole-house solution is often the most practical way to protect all faucets and appliances.
The most effective single option for reducing radon in household water is usually a whole-house aeration system installed at the main water entry. Aeration removes radon by transferring the gas out of the water and into an exhaust air stream before the water is sent to showers, sinks, and laundry. Because radon is a gas, aeration systems that target gas transfer are generally more effective for radon than sediment or carbon-only filters. This approach lowers radon throughout the home rather than treating only individual taps.
A whole-house aeration filter is a contained unit that mixes incoming water with air and then vents the radon-rich air safely outdoors. Placed before your water heater and main plumbing, it treats all the water used for bathing, cooking, and cleaning in your Perkins home. These systems can be paired with prefiltration when needed to protect the aerator and downstream plumbing from sediment or other particulates. Mr. Pure Water can assess your property, recommend the right aeration configuration, and install it so your whole house benefits from reduced radon levels.
