Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can seep into groundwater and contaminate well water. While it is difficult to completely remove radon from well water, there are a few methods that can be effective in reducing levels of the gas.
Aeration: Aeration involves mixing well water with air, which causes radon to be released and dissipate into the air. The water is then filtered to remove the radon gas.
Granular activated carbon (GAC) filters: GAC filters can effectively remove radon from well water by adsorbing the gas onto the surface of the carbon filter.
Point-of-entry treatment: Installing a point-of-entry (POE) treatment system, such as aeration or GAC filtration, can treat all of the water as it enters the home.
It's important to note that the effectiveness of these methods can vary depending on the level of radon in the water and other factors. It's recommended to have your well water tested for radon by a professional and to consult with a water treatment specialist to determine the best treatment method for your specific situation.
