3.825 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.
The decay chain for Radon is pretty long, but most of the daughters have
quite short half lives.

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.
