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. While most people think of radon as an indoor air issue, it can also be present in well water and, less commonly, other sources — and when you run a shower, do laundry, or wash dishes, some radon can be released from the water into the air. Woods homeowners often consider both water and indoor air when evaluating radon, since activities that use water can send gas into the rooms where families live and breathe.
Because radon in water has no taste, smell, or color, you can't detect it by sight or flavor. The dependable way to know what's in your house's water is to test, since levels can differ from one property to the next. If testing finds elevated radon in your water, it makes sense to pursue solutions that match your plumbing and daily water use; many Woods residents opt for treatments installed at the point where water enters the home so the whole house benefits.
To reduce radon in household water, the most effective single treatment is generally a whole-house aeration system placed at the main water entry. Aeration removes radon by transferring the gas from water into a managed air stream before the water goes to showers, sinks, and appliances. Because radon is a gas, methods that promote gas exchange tend to be more effective than typical sediment or carbon filters, and a properly installed aeration unit lowers radon throughout the entire home rather than at just one faucet.
A whole-house aeration filter is a self-contained unit that mixes air with incoming water and vents the radon-laden air safely outdoors. Installed before the water heater and the rest of your plumbing, it treats all the water you use for bathing, cooking, and cleaning in your Woods home. These systems can be paired with prefiltration where needed to prevent clogging and protect downstream pipes; Mr. Pure Water can help you pick the right aeration model and the best placement for reliable, whole-home radon reduction.
