Sample Depth and Source Type Influence Expectations

Sample depths varied from 58 to 160 feet

Government sampling in Kanawha County’s aquifer 327KNWH involved wells within this depth range, which affects radon concentration and relevance to shallower or deeper residential wells.

All six wells sampled show radon detected

Every sample taken between 2010 and 2017 recorded radon-222 presence, ranging broadly from 8.0 to 320.0 pCi/L, with a median of 42.5 pCi/L, indicating consistent presence in the aquifer but not specifying individual wells’ levels.

Area data do not specify your well’s radon level

Because these numbers represent multiple distinct wells at various depths over years, they cannot substitute for testing your own well water to identify how much radon your household water contains.

Industrial and Commercial Concerns That Differ from Household Needs

Larger volume water use changes treatment demand

Operators with high water volume use must evaluate radon removal capacity against peak flow rates and continuous demand, unlike typical household flow patterns.

Regulatory monitoring and reporting may apply differently

Commercial systems might require specific compliance documentation or more frequent monitoring, which households generally do not need.

Information to Record Before Seeking Water Treatment Guidance

Radon test results from a certified lab

Obtain and note your water’s radon concentration with proper sampling and analysis to inform treatment suitability and sizing.

Water usage patterns and peak demands

Record average daily water use and peak flow rates to confirm treatment system capacity fits your household’s needs.

Existing water treatment equipment details

Document current technologies used and their limitations to clarify why additional capacity or new solutions are required.

How the Documented Technology Addresses Radon in Water

C-Series Radon in Water Filter capacity

This system is designed to remove or neutralize dissolved radon effectively, providing enhanced treatment when existing equipment cannot maintain desired radon reduction levels.

Compatibility with household water systems

Ships ready to configure with existing residential plumbing setups, allowing integration without complex modifications.

Plumbing Material and Age Impact on Radon Concerns

Older plumbing can affect radon presence at tap

Material and condition of plumbing pipes may influence radon gas release or retention but do not determine source water concentration.

Plumbing does not generate radon

Radon enters water from natural geologic sources, separate from plumbing characteristics, although plumbing can affect how radon enters indoor air.

Routine Care Needed for the Treatment Technology

Filter media replacement intervals

The system requires periodic media replacement based on water usage and radon load, ensuring ongoing effective treatment.

Simple maintenance steps

User-friendly maintenance procedures help maintain system performance without specialized service.

Monitoring water quality after treatment

Regular water testing after treatment helps verify radon levels remain controlled and the system operates properly.

When existing equipment struggles to manage radon in household water, the C-Series Radon in Water Filter provides a documented solution sized to match the radon concentration you measure in your water, helping restore confidence in your tap water quality.

Where this information comes from

Source: USGS groundwater sampling. Sampled 2017-07-18. 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 327KNWH aquifer (Kanawha County): 6 results from 6 wells, median 42.5 pCi/L, range 8.0-320.0 pCi/L; none above any federal threshold
