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 household water supply. Although many people associate radon with indoor air, it can be present in well water and, less commonly, other sources — and activities like showering, doing laundry, or running the dishwasher can release radon from water into the air. Homeowners in Port St. Lucie often consider both water and air when evaluating radon because addressing one can affect the other.
Because radon has no taste, smell, or color, you can’t detect it by sight or sampling a glass of water. The only reliable way to know whether your home has elevated radon in the water is to test, since levels can vary even between nearby properties in St. Lucie County. If testing shows elevated radon, choosing treatments that match your home’s plumbing and daily water use is important — a whole-house solution treats water at the point it enters your Port St. Lucie home so every faucet, shower and appliance is addressed.
The most effective single treatment for lowering radon in household water is usually a whole-house aeration system installed on the main line as water enters the home. Aeration removes radon by transferring the gas out of the water into a controlled air stream before the water reaches showers, faucets, and appliances. Because radon is a gas, aeration-based technologies that promote gas transfer are generally more effective for this purpose than standard sediment or carbon filters, and they help reduce radon 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 house. Installed ahead of your water heater and plumbing, it treats all the water used for bathing, cooking, and cleaning across your Port St. Lucie property — whether you live in St. Lucie West, Tradition, or Port St. Lucie Gardens. Because South Florida often has hard water, pairing aeration with prefiltration can prevent mineral scale from affecting performance and protect downstream plumbing; Mr. Pure Water can help select the right aeration system and placement for your home.
