I read case studies where there was up to a 99% radon reduction? Now that is amazing. And it mitigates other contaminants too?
Yes, it can also reduce iron levels, sulfur, manganese, and all other inert gases.
How long does a typical install take? What about the noise factor for Airwell?
The beautiful thing about Airwell is the average install can be done in less than three hours. As for the noise, we are currently working on reducing the noise down to a quality dishwasher.
I read that if you’re on a well, there’s a 100% chance you have radon. How often
do well owners need to test their wells
for radon?
It’s my belief that there may be a 100% chance you have radon in your well, but in some wells, it is so low, it may be undetectable. I don’t want to deter people from not testing, because we have seen in real world cases that wells that are in close proximity, one can have very high levels, and the other very low levels.
I would recommend that people test their well for radon every three years as aquifers can change directions or open new aquifers into the well.
Ok, so we’ve got to add radon to the healthy water checklist for the lab when getting our water tested for other contaminants like arsenic and lead.
People tend to focus on water quality aesthetics, like staining or odour, more
than the unseen health related toxins.
You appeared in episode six of Holmes
and Holmes, installing Airwell on a country home alongside David Innes, Director of Sales for Radon Environmental. How was it being on the show with Mike Holmes Jr.?
Mine was a very small part, as thankfully a shy guy like me didn’t have to speak. It was
a great experience and exposure.
I’ll bet you received a lot interest in Airwell after that.
After the airing, there was a lot of social media buzz, which helped promote our product on a wider scale.
What’s the future for this new technology?
We can see a lot of people moving to this technology. It is much less intrusive to the home, cost effective, and therefore providing piece of mind to families.
Safe, secure drinking water is vital for everyone. Thanks for helping educate us
on this modern approach to radon in water mitigation, Jamie. It’s saving lives across North America.
It feels good to know that a product that I helped to bring to the consumer is saving lives from a widely unknown silent killer.
