This home had an old aeration system that was problematic. The system had reached a service life where multiple things were going wrong and repairs were going to be costly. The owner inquired about GAC (granular activated carbon) as an alternative. The non-mechanical, no operational noise aspect of GAC was appealing to them. We explained that while aeration was the "best available technology" (BAT) for waterborne radon removal, GAC can be an option depending on radon concentrations. After several confirmatory tests, we determined that GAC would be an applicable technology for this particular home.
We removed the old aeration system and installed the GAC tank with pre and post sediment filters (a feature many of our competitors don't do), along with an up flow acid neutralizer. The customer is thrilled with the results and has great quality water.
ASD Suction Point With Manometer Vacuum Gauge
An existing customer with a Bubble Up Jr aeration system in place for waterborne radon removal discovered they have bacteria and elevated uranium concentrations in their water supply. We installed a Clack WS1 anion exchange system to remove the uranium, and a Viqua VH410 Ultra Violet sterilization system to sterilize the water. We also did some re-piping to clean up the homeowners well system layout.
Cambridge Aeration System install.
Customer had 24,000 pCi/l of radon in their well water. We installed a Cambridge aeration system capable of up to 99% of waterborne radon removal. The install included pre and post clear "big blue" filters to ensure high flow and minimize pressure loss. Post sediment filters are not always installed with aeration systems. But the water supply in this house had some iron in it. The owner didn't want a softener or iron filter, so we installed the post filter to capture any iron that might get oxidized in the aeration process.
