relatively short half life is what, 4 days? anyway, it is a noble gas,
so no ions there. However, radium is not, so can be ionized I guess.
Ode says that granite can have problematic levels of radioactivity, so
you can check if you have a granitic bedrock. There sure does seem to
be something there, figuring out what is a little harder. Has your
hubby or son thought about it? Either way, going through the machine
twice seems to work.

I don't think radon will produce any ions by dissolving in water, and
thus would not expect it to affect a uS reading.
So will the possible dissolved radon simply cross over with the steam?
It will not distill out? Or won't distill out easily--what I've
wondered is whether dissolved radon could be the substance in the
water here that causes the phenomenon that .4 uS single distilled
water will produce yellow CS, but take that water and distill it
agian, the uS remains .4 uS, but after the second pass through the
still, it will make clear CS.
