Radon, a naturally occurring radioactive gas, poses significant health risks when it contaminates water supplies. If your well water contains radon, addressing the issue is crucial for the safety of your household or business. At Mackinnon Water Solutions in Sundridge, we employ innovative Airwell technology to eliminate radon from water effectively. This guide explains how Airwell technology works and why it’s a game-changer for radon removal.
Understanding the Dangers of Radon in Water
Radon is formed from the natural decay of uranium in the soil and can seep into groundwater sources. While radon in air is a well-known hazard, its presence in water also poses risks:
Health Risks
Radon in water can contribute to lung cancer when released into the air during household activities like showering and washing. Long-term ingestion of radon-contaminated water has also been linked to stomach cancer.
Invisible Threat
Radon is odorless, tasteless, and colorless, making it difficult to detect without specialized testing. If your property relies on well water, regular testing for radon is essential.
What Is Airwell Technology?
Airwell technology is an advanced method for removing radon from water directly at the source. Unlike traditional systems that treat water inside the home, Airwell targets the radon in the well itself, offering a more efficient and comprehensive solution.
How Airwell Works
The system functions by aerating the water in the well, releasing radon gas into the atmosphere safely above ground. Here’s a simplified breakdown of the process:
- A specialized device is installed in the well to inject air into the water.
- The air bubbles create turbulence, separating radon gas from the water.
- The gas is vented out through a sealed pipe above ground, preventing it from re-entering the environment.
Benefits of Airwell Technology
Airwell technology offers several advantages over traditional radon removal systems:
Source-Based Treatment
By addressing radon directly in the well, Airwell eliminates the gas before it enters your home’s plumbing, ensuring a higher level of safety.
Energy Efficiency
Airwell systems use minimal energy compared to home-based water treatment units, reducing operational costs and environmental impact.
Low Maintenance
Once installed, Airwell systems require little upkeep, providing a hassle-free solution for homeowners and businesses.
Improved Water Quality
In addition to removing radon, the aeration process can help reduce other dissolved gases and odors, enhancing the overall quality of your water.
Why Choose Airwell for Radon Removal?
Traditional radon removal methods, such as granular activated carbon filters or aeration systems within the home, have limitations. They often require extensive maintenance and only address radon after it has entered the plumbing system. Airwell stands out by offering a proactive, long-term solution that addresses the problem at its root.
Eco-Friendly Solution
Airwell technology uses natural aeration techniques to release radon, avoiding the use of chemicals or additional waste.
Proven Effectiveness
With its ability to remove radon directly at the source, Airwell achieves superior results, making it a trusted solution for properties with high radon levels.
