Including filter system and high-performance Radon filter.
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can dissolve into groundwater and show up in a home’s water. In Placid Lakes and other parts of Highlands County many properties use well water, which can carry dissolved gases like radon into household plumbing. Everyday activities — running a shower, doing laundry, or filling a sink — can release radon from water into the air, so homeowners often consider both water and indoor air when addressing radon concerns.
Because radon has no color, taste, or smell, you can’t detect it by looking at or tasting your water. The only dependable way to know what’s in your supply is to test, since levels can differ from one property to another across Placid Lakes and nearby communities like Lake Placid and Sebring. If testing shows elevated radon in your water, choosing treatments that match your plumbing layout and daily water use is important — and a whole-house solution treats water as it enters the home so every tap is covered.
The most effective single treatment for reducing radon in household water is usually a whole-house aeration system installed at the main water entry. Aeration strips radon out of the water by exposing it to air and directing that gas into a controlled vent stream before the water reaches showers, faucets, and appliances. Because radon is a gas, aeration targets gas transfer more directly than sediment or carbon-only filters, delivering lower radon levels throughout the entire home.
A whole-house aeration filter is a contained unit that mixes air with incoming water and safely vents the radon-laden air outside the home. Placed before your water heater and main plumbing, it protects everything you use for bathing, cooking, and cleaning across Placid Lakes properties — especially useful for homes with hard, well water that can cause scale. Prefiltration can be added to reduce minerals and protect the aeration unit; Mr. Pure Water can help select the right aeration system and placement for dependable whole-home radon reduction.
