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. Although most people think of radon as an indoor air concern, it can be present in well water and other sources, releasing into the air when you shower, run laundry, or wash dishes. Homeowners in Sanborn often consider both water and air when evaluating radon, since everyday water use can move radon from plumbing into the living space.
Because radon has no taste, smell, or color, you can’t detect it by looking at or tasting your water—testing is the only reliable way to know what’s in your supply. Levels can vary block to block and from one property to the next, so Sanborn residents who are concerned about radon should test their home specifically. If tests show elevated radon in water, choosing treatments that suit your plumbing and household water use is important; many homeowners find addressing the water where it enters the home gives the most consistent protection.
The most effective single treatment for reducing radon in household water is typically a whole-house aeration system installed at the main water line. Aeration removes radon by transferring the gas from water into a controlled air stream before the water reaches showers, faucets, and appliances. Because radon is a gas, systems designed for gas transfer are usually more effective than standard sediment or carbon filters, and they lower radon throughout the entire Sanborn home rather than just at an individual tap.
A whole-house aeration filter is a contained unit that mixes air with incoming water and then safely vents the radon-laden air outdoors. Installed ahead of your water heater and main plumbing, it treats all water used for bathing, cooking, and cleaning. Where needed, it can be paired with prefiltration to protect the aeration system and downstream plumbing. Mr. Pure Water can assess your Sanborn property and recommend the right aeration setup and placement to provide dependable whole-home radon reduction.
