is $525. I don't even know if this is what we should be testing for !!!
Hi Kim,
If you are mainly concerned about radiation, you could test for Gross Alpha, Gross Beta, Radon, and Uranium. If there are issues, you can purchase a reverse osmosis filtration system that removes a majority of these elements.
RO systems can remove up to 99% of radioactive elements like radium and uranium.The EPA considers RO to be a "best available technology" (BAT) for removing radioactive particles, including alpha and beta particles, photon emitters, and uranium.
We bought our system for less than $200
