Including filter system and high-performance Radon filter.
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can dissolve into groundwater and reach a home’s plumbing. While most people think of radon as an air problem, it can come from well water and occasionally other local sources; when you run a shower, wash clothes, or use the dishwasher, radon in water can be released into the air. In Shawano, homeowners often consider both water and indoor air when evaluating radon risks so they address both entry points in their homes.
Because radon has no taste, smell, or color, you can’t detect it by sampling a glass—testing is the only reliable way to know what’s in your water. Levels can differ from street to street and between nearby properties, so a local test in your Shawano home is the best first step. If your results show elevated radon in the water, a tailored response that matches your plumbing layout and daily water use—often a whole-house solution—is the most practical way to reduce what’s delivered to fixtures and appliances.
The most effective single treatment for reducing radon in household water is usually a whole-house aeration system installed where the main water line enters the home. Aeration strips radon out of the water by transferring the gas into a controlled air stream before the water reaches showers, sinks, and appliances. Because radon is a gas, this type of gas-transfer technology is generally more effective than sediment or carbon filters alone, and it lowers radon throughout your Shawano home rather than at just one tap.
A whole-house aeration filter is a contained unit that mixes air with incoming water and vents the radon-rich air safely outside. Placed before the water heater and the rest of your plumbing, it treats all water used for bathing, cooking, and cleaning; it can also be paired with prefiltration to protect the aeration equipment and downstream pipes.
