Also, how do you remove radon from well water?

Radon can be removed from water by using one of two methods:

1. Aeration treatment – spraying water or mixing it with air and then venting the air from the water before use, or.
2. GAC treatment – filtering water through granular activated carbon. Radon attaches to the carbon and leaves the water free of radon.
