How does a radon water aeration system work?
Aeration systems remove radon by bubbling air through the water. This process carries the radon gas out into the atmosphere through an exhaust fan. The EPA identifies aeration as one of two main point-of-entry treatment methods for removing radon from water.
What is the effectiveness of radon water aeration in Lexington?
EPA research shows that aeration devices can reduce radon in water by more than 95 percent. Specific point-of-entry bubble-plate and diffused-bubble units have been tested to achieve more than 99 percent radon removal.
What are the operational considerations for a radon water aeration system?
Aeration systems require periodic maintenance and cleaning. Running the radon fan can add approximately $30 to $300 per year to the home’s energy bill because the active fan draws 100 to 300 watts continuously.
What to do next
