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. While most people associate radon with indoor air, it can also come from water sources, particularly wells, and be released into the air when you shower, run the dishwasher, or do laundry. Westwood Lakes homeowners often consider both water and air when addressing radon, so it's good to understand how water use can affect the air inside your Miami-Dade County home.
Because radon has no taste, smell, or color, you can’t detect it by looking at or drinking your water. Testing is the only reliable way to know whether radon is present, and levels can differ from block to block across the Miami metropolitan area. If tests show elevated radon in your water, taking action that fits your Westwood Lakes home’s plumbing and daily water use is important — a whole-house strategy treats water at the point it enters your property so the protection applies everywhere inside the house.
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 removes radon by transferring the gas out of the water into a controlled air stream before water reaches showers, faucets, and appliances. Because radon is a gas, systems that promote gas transfer like aeration are more direct than standard sediment or carbon filters, delivering reduced radon throughout a Westwood Lakes residence rather than only at one tap.
A whole-house aeration filter is a contained unit that mixes air with incoming water and then vents the radon-laden air safely outside the house. Installed before the water heater and the rest of your plumbing, it treats all water used for bathing, cooking, and cleaning — useful in Westwood Lakes homes where hard municipal water can also contribute to scale that affects system performance. Prefiltration can be added to protect the aeration unit and downstream plumbing; Mr. Pure Water can assess your Miami-Dade County property and recommend the right aeration configuration and location for dependable whole-home radon reduction.
