How radon gets into well water
Radon in groundwater comes from the same source as radon in soil — the natural decay of uranium in rock formations. Wells drawing from the Floridan aquifer occasionally test above the EPA's proposed 4,000 pCi/L action level.
As a rule of thumb, every 10,000 pCi/L of radon in water contributes about 1 pCi/L to indoor air, so waterborne radon can be a significant contributor to your total exposure.
Treatment options we offer
We size and install two proven treatment technologies, both certified under NSF/ANSI Standard 61 for drinking water contact.
- Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) systems — best for waterborne radon under 5,000 pCi/L
- Aeration systems — best for waterborne radon above 5,000 pCi/L; up to 99.9% removal efficiency
- Annual maintenance contracts including media changeouts and system audits
