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. While most people think of radon as an indoor air problem, it can be carried in well water and, less often, other sources — and then be released into the air when you shower, run the dishwasher, or do laundry. In Runyon, whether your water comes from a municipal connection or a private well can affect your risks, so many homeowners evaluate both water and indoor air when addressing radon.
Because radon has no taste, smell, or color, you can’t detect it by looking at or tasting your water. The only reliable way to know if it’s present is to test, since levels can differ from property to property. If testing shows elevated radon in your water, take steps that suit your plumbing and everyday water use — and consider treating the water where it enters the house for consistent protection across all taps in a Runyon home.
The most effective single treatment for reducing radon in household water is typically a whole-house aeration system installed at the main water entry point. Aeration strips radon out of the water by transferring it into an air stream before that water reaches showers, faucets, and appliances. Because radon is a gas, aeration-based technologies target gas removal more directly than standard sediment or carbon filters, lowering radon throughout the entire home rather than only at a single fixture.
A whole-house aeration filter is a contained unit that mixes incoming water with air and vents the radon-laden air safely outdoors; it’s installed ahead of the water heater and the home’s plumbing so all water used for bathing, cooking, and cleaning is treated. In many Runyon houses, adding prefiltration can protect the aeration unit and prolong its performance, especially if source water carries particulates. Mr. Pure Water can assess your property, recommend the right aeration configuration and placement, and install a system sized for your whole-home needs.
