Including filter system and high-performance Radon filter.
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can dissolve into groundwater and enter a home’s plumbing. While most people think of radon as an indoor air concern, it can also come from well water or other local sources and be released into the air when you shower, run the dishwasher, or do laundry. Salem homeowners often consider both water and indoor air when evaluating radon, since everyday water use can move radon out of the water and into the air you breathe.
Because radon has no taste, smell, or color, you can’t tell if it’s in your water just by looking. The only way to know is to test, as levels can differ from property to property even within the same area. If testing in Salem shows elevated radon in your water, it makes sense to choose treatments that suit your home's plumbing and water use—starting at the main line so the solution protects every faucet and appliance.
The most effective single treatment for reducing radon in household water is typically a whole-house aeration system installed where the main water line enters the home. Aeration strips radon from water by transferring the gas into a controlled airflow before water reaches showers, sinks, and appliances. Because radon is a gas, aeration targets gas transfer directly in a way that sediment or carbon filters do not, lowering radon throughout the whole house rather than at just one tap.
A whole-house aeration filter is a packaged treatment unit that mixes air with incoming water and safely vents the radon-laden air outdoors. Placed before the water heater and the rest of the plumbing, it treats all water used for bathing, cooking, and cleaning in your Salem home. It can be combined with prefiltration when needed to protect the aeration system and downstream plumbing; Mr. Pure Water can help you pick the right aeration unit and location for reliable, whole-home radon reduction.
