If you know Hamilton County's limited sample set for radon in groundwater
The U.S. Geological Survey collected radon-222 measurements from two wells in Hamilton County's aquifer 400PCMB during August 2012. These samples, taken from depths between 140 and 320 feet, show radon levels ranging from 1210 to 2970 pCi/L, with a median of 2900 pCi/L. While all three results included detectable radon, none exceeded federal thresholds. However, only two wells and three sample results form this data set, limiting its ability to represent all groundwater conditions in the area. Therefore, these figures should inform but not define the radon concentration in your specific well water.
If you consider how treated water will differ at home after using a Fleck system
When equipped with a Fleck Radon in Water Filter, your household water can see a significant reduction of radon levels at the tap. This system operates by removing radon from the water as it passes through, providing safer water for daily use. Unlike untreated water, the filtered water should have radon concentrations substantially lowered from those found in the source aquifer. This treatment approach addresses radon specifically and can integrate seamlessly with your household water setup, shipping ready to configure without requiring specialized assembly.
If you want to rule out the simplest possibilities before proceeding to testing
Begin by checking if your water source is indeed groundwater from aquifer 400PCMB, as the regional data applies here. Next, assess any noticeable radon-related concerns such as unusual taste or odor, which are uncommon but may prompt testing. Following these observations, consider a certified laboratory water test to precisely determine radon concentration in your household water, as this step confirms your water's condition beyond regional estimates.
If you plan to interpret a certified laboratory test report for radon in your water
A certified laboratory test for radon in water typically reports results in picocuries per liter (pCi/L). These measurements quantify the radioactive gas concentration in your sample. Reading the report involves comparing your home's values with federal benchmarks, keeping in mind that detection does not equate to a violation or immediate health hazard. Such a test provides the definitive data needed to decide if household treatment is warranted and guides selecting an appropriate system capacity.
If you want to gauge treatment needs against your household’s daily water use
Choosing a radon water treatment system requires matching the equipment's capacity to your household's water demand. Consider your average daily water consumption including cooking, drinking, bathing, and laundry. The Fleck Radon in Water Filter is designed to accommodate typical residential volumes, but verifying your usage helps ensure consistent performance. Proper sizing avoids overburdening the unit and supports effective radon reduction throughout the home.

Where this information comes from
Source: USGS groundwater sampling. Sampled 2012-08-21. These figures describe groundwater sampled in this area. They are not a test of any individual private well - only a test of that well can establish its own water.
On record: U.S. Geological Survey sampling of Radon-222 in the 400PCMB aquifer (Hamilton County): 3 results from 2 wells, median 2900.0 pCi/L, range 1210.0-2970.0 pCi/L; none above any federal threshold
