Do I Need a Booster Pump for My Radon System?

Ruan Marinho • Jun 04, 2020

A radon system is most basically a series of pipes and pumps created to reduce radon concentrations within the air and water of any home. This is extremely important in your home or business because radon is an invisible, odorless gas that can cause health risks to inhabitants. The most serious health issue radon can cause is lung cancer. 

What Is a Booster Pump?

A booster pump is used to increase water pressure coming into the home. This pump can be an integral part of the system because oftentimes you lose water pressure during that stage of the water filtration process, which can result in extremely low water pressure. 

How Does a Booster Pump Help a Radon System?

If you have a system that removes radon from well water, you may also want to look into getting a booster pump. This is because a booster pump can aid in helping to successfully pump your well water through the radon filter, then allowing the water to go from the radon filter to your home faucets. 

Does My Radon System Need a Booster Pump?

There are various indications that your radon system needs a booster pump. These include: 

  • Your old booster pump is over 25 years old
  • Low water pressure from faucets or shower head
  • Your well doesn’t produce enough
