Will this remove radon from water?

Not a chance. When radon, a gas, is dissolved in water its molecules are too small for any filter. Radon's decay products, on the other hand, are "sticky" and might be caught up by a 1 micron or carbon filter. I copied the following information for you: In drinking water The effects of radon if ingested are similarly unknown, although studies have found that its biological half-life ranges from 30-70 minutes, with 90 percent removal at 100 minutes. In 1999 National Research Council investigated the issue of radon in drinking water. The risks associated with ingestion was considered almost negligible.[122] Water from underground sources may contain significant amounts of radon depending on the surrounding rock and soil conditions, whereas surface sources generally do not.[123] As well as being ingested through drinking water, radon is also released from water when temperature is increased, pressure is decreased and when water is aerated. Optimum conditions for radon release and exposure occur during showering. Water with a radon concentration of 104 pCi/L can increase the indoor airborne radon concentration by 1 pCi/L under normal conditions of water use.[124] filter. Two things are obvious from the above information. Boiling water outdoors would remove the radon gas and showering indoors is going to provide your most dangerous exposure. Being able to rapidly exhaust air during showers should be your highest priority. A good exhaust fan over the cooking area where water is boiled is probably second.

No, it does not but it removes chlorine, the chemical they also put in swimming pools. To remove fluoride, one needs a reverse osmosis water system which uses lots and lots of water (forgot ratio but something like 4 quarts to get 1 quart fluoride clear water). Fluoride has few proven benefits (contrary to what they want us to believe) and actually may contribute to thinning bones, etc. so it's a shame it's so hard to get rid of. Hope this helps.

My best guess is yes it does. This sanitizer is basically food grade phosphoric acid. If you absolutely want to get rid of every living organism and be sure of it, use hot water and bleach solution. 1 tablespoon bleach and 1 gallon water should do it, just make sure you give it a nice good and long rinse afterward with boiling water. Or just use star san and not rinse at all. :)

I am no expert on radiation --- but I seriously doubt it!!! It is primarily for emergency water consumption when hiking, traveling, etc. I put these into my family's Go Home bags if they find themselves stuck somewhere and bottled water is not available and they need to drink from questionable water sources.

Rader is inexpensive and simple. I am a surgeon with basic knowledge of radioactivity and bought this for general surveillance in my Maui hawaii environment with specific concern for debris washing up on the beach etc. If the treatment was with radioactive iodine for which the half life is short there would likely be little emitting source and you may detect nothing. Only about 160 bucks. Cheap insurance that your sushi is clean...

I can't see why not. You would be adding those minerals to purified water. That is the only change. I know there are colloidal mineral products out there that you would just add the minerals to a water by using a dropper in a glass.

Yes, the rad filter does! I have tested it with drops. In my experience, the ph level started above 8 when I first started using it and after about 4-6 weeks it dropped to around 7. I drink a lot of water! I've been very happy to have alkaline water from this bottle! In fact I recently ordered a new rad bottle. It was actually cheaper than a new rad filter.

no it won't. it seals concrete, meaning, water won't flow through the pores of the concrete you treat. your problem is not these pores--your problem is the small gap between 2 slabs of concrete. the radon seal is the consistency of water, and will not fill the crack (the joint between wall and slab) you are talking about.

It should as the meter reads 000 and fluoride is an inorganic compound. Zero water is designed to remove inorganic compounds so when the water reads 000 there shouldn't be any fluoride.

It will remove 99.9% of all chlorine, chemicals and heavy metals. Yes, it will.

Yes, it removes fluoride from the water. For a complete list of all the chemicals it removes, see: http://www.waterwise.com/productcart/pc/lc_purity.asp

Sorry. The only thing that I know of that Might work would be to distill the water and try to get rid of the contaminants afterward. The filter system that seems to filter the best, and remove the most hazards is the Berkey filters. Suggest that you research them. I spent days........,,, looking for something thy would remove salt and biochemical contaminants. There is not one that I could find. I was very impressed with the Berkey, and for a lightweight purifier, I really do like the LifeStraw. It will do more than most of the very small filters. Be sure to get this one, and not the green camoflage one that lets 2 micron particles through. That one seems to be mostly for looks. Hope this helps. Sorry.

I cannot imagine that it could. It only measures pressure within a stack pipe that exhausts radon gas.

I do not know. We have a well and the water does not have any fluoride that I know of. The directions for the unit does not say whether or not it removes fluoride.

Per Radon user manual (available ontheir website).... No"The concrete must be completely clean and bare. Remove all paints, sealers, adhesives, curing or form releasecompounds. Clean off dirt, oil, grease, wax, efflorescence, and other contaminants that might interfere withpenetration of the sealer.Make sure that the substrate is porous. Confirm that it readily absorbs drops of water or apply the sealer in a test area. If needed, increase the surface porosity by sanding, grinding, or acid etching."

Kari No it does not test actual radon levels , you will need toget a radon detector for that. This only test suction .it is used to test the fan in a radon mediation system .Hope this helps Tont

Yes and no. It would but it would also filter out the flavor. I would assume you would end up with just water.
