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 supply. Though most people think of radon as an indoor air concern, it can come from well water and sometimes other sources, then be released into the air when you shower, run the dishwasher, or do laundry. In Saint Augustine South and elsewhere in St. Johns County, homeowners who worry about radon often consider both water and air since everyday water use can move radon from water into the air you breathe.
You won’t taste, see, or smell radon in water—testing is the only reliable way to know if it’s present. Levels can differ from one property to the next, so even neighbors in Saint Augustine South or nearby Anastasia Island may have different results. If testing shows elevated radon in your water, choose steps that match your plumbing and household water habits; addressing the source at the main water entry gives protection for every faucet and appliance in the house.
The single most effective household treatment for radon in water is usually a whole-house aeration system installed at the main water line as it enters your home. Aeration removes radon by transferring the gas out of the water into a controlled air stream before water reaches showers, sinks, and appliances. Because radon is a gas, gas-transfer approaches like aeration are often more direct and effective than sediment or carbon filters, providing lower radon levels throughout the entire home.
A whole-house aeration filter is a contained unit that mixes air with incoming water and vents the radon-laden air safely outdoors, treating all water before it reaches your water heater and plumbing. In Saint Augustine South’s humid subtropical climate and with the area’s hard municipal groundwater, pairing aeration with prefiltration can reduce mineral scale and keep the system operating well. Mr. Pure Water can assess your St. Johns County home, recommend proper prefiltration if needed, and size and place an aeration unit for dependable whole-home radon reduction.
