Does this filter out radon?

No. radon gas must have a a high efficiency filter- formerly known as "HEPA". How ever if you have particulates that give off radon, it captures those. Capture is dependent on the filter pore size- info I do not have at hand right now. Thus if you are fitering water from a well it would reduce the radon due to reduced particles. Not because it can capture gases. Most filters that use charcoal can capture radon gas, but they have a very limited life span. ( of course the more water you filter the shorter the life span.)

No...The filter is cardboard all the way around. They work fine as a Honeywell replacement.

No. But you wouldn't want that feature anyway! Radon levels vary hourly depending on its seepage rate and ground source depth; thus averages per day for several days is the most accurate value. This meter measures average per one day and seven days.

I checked another site since there weren't any specifications here and it does NOT filter out flouride http://www.fridgefilters.com/ge-fqsvf.html

You cannot actually test for radon or any other type of gas for that matter with this tool. This unit only measures pressure. There are manometers on existing radon reduction systems to monitor whether your fan is pulling the gas out at the correct amount or not.

No not that I know of. I had it installed by a professional but I didn't see any filter.

No the Seychelle radiological and regular filters do not remove bacteria. You would need the standard filter or the advanced filter to remove bacteria Seychelle Radiological Filter The Radiological filter removes the four basic zones of contamination: Aesthetic (Chlorine, taste and odor), Chemicals (from Industry and Agriculture), Dissolved Solids (heavy metals such as lead, mercury, Chromium 6) and 100% of Radiological Contaminants such as Gross Beta, Radon 222, Radium 226, Plutonium, Uranium, Strontium, Cesium 137 and Radioactive Iodine 131.

Definitely, NOT! Radon Seal works by a chemical reaction between it, and the cement in concrete. It does NOT work unless it's used on clean, porous concrete. There is less cement in concrete blocks (also known as cinder blocks) so more radon seal is needed in this case. NEVER use RadonSeal on anything but cement based, porous concrete walls, floors and blocks. Sorry!

Should reduce radon entering the home but if u have that level I'd recommend installing a vent system

Not sure...Best go look at how to configure it at http://www.radiothermostat.com/filtrete/

No. Geiger Counters detect Gamma, Beta and X-Ray radiation. Radon Gas is Alpha particles and you need a special device to detect those properly. RADEX brand carries an easy-to use, highly practical Radon Gas detector: MR106N. Please see our listing here for more details: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004X4J4LK Best Regards, Dmitry C.

no it does not. you can have the sanitize function on or off and the filter rate is manually controlled up to level 5

Yes it does. We are very satisfied with this filter as it does a great job of taking out bad taste and smell. Filters are very inexpensive to replace.

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

Ventilation in general helps radon. They are relatively quite being in the basement you cannot hear it. About as loud a desk fan. I'm not sure on the switch or why you'd want to. The humidistat urns fan off when it reaches your setting

This filter is for "particulates" i.e. particles. In other words, DUST.It does not filter vapors i.e. GAS. You need a gas filter to filter out vapor/gas. The charcoal in these filters helps to eliminate odors and that makes working in smelly environments more comfortable; however, it does not actually filter out any vapors or gases--it just reduces the smell.

no, it comes with a permanent, reusable filter. it's worked fine for me, and saves me the trouble of fooling with paper filters!
