    Inhalation Risk

    This is the primary concern. When you use water in your home (showering, washing dishes, doing laundry), radon gas is released into the air. Breathing radon over time increases lung cancer risk, as radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking.

  • *

    Higher in Well Water

    Well water typically has higher radon levels than surface water (which allows radon to escape to air).

  • *

    Recommended Water Testing

    If you have well water, radon testing is worth considering, especially in our area. If you rely on well water, it’s crucial to test for radon, especially in our region known for its granite bedrock. 

  • *

    Common in Our Area

    Connecticut and New York have geological formations that naturally produce radon, particularly in areas with crystalline bedrock, granite, and metamorphic rock.

    Contributes to Indoor Air Radon Levels

    Radon in water can contribute to your home's overall indoor air radon concentration. The EPA estimates that 10,000 pCi/L of radon in water contributes approximately 1 pCi/L to indoor air. While this is typically a smaller contributor than radon entering through soil and foundation cracks, it can be significant with very high water radon levels.

    Levels can Vary

    Radon levels can vary dramatically even between properties just a few hundred feet apart. It depends on the specific geology through which your well water travels. We recommend testing your water to always err on the side of caution.

    Real Estate Considerations

    Less frequent repairs and replacements are needed for appliances and plumbing systems affected by hard water damage, which reduces maintenance costs, as well as extends the life of household appliances.

Water Hardness Table

Here is a water hardness table for your reference. A simple water test will determine the water hardness in your home and allow us to determine how to best treat your water. Additionally, we test for other components in your water which we will go over with you. Whatever you decide regarding water treatment is completely your decision. Our job is to provide all of the data and the corresponding treatment solutions.

Water Hardness Level Grains Per Gallon (GPG)
Soft Water0 - 1 gpg
Slightly Hard Water1 - 3.5 gpg
Moderately Hard Water3.5 - 7 gpg
Hard Water7 - 10 gpg
Very Hard WaterOver 10.5 gpg

Where should it be installed?

Typically, in the basement, garage, or utility room near the main water line entry point. It needs access to a drain, an electrical outlet, and it should be protected from freezing temperatures. It should be installed after the pressure tank (for well systems) but before the water heater.

How often should it be serviced?

Annual professional service is recommended but not always necessary for modern systems. Have it inspected if you notice reduced water pressure, continuous running, or poor softening performance.
