DESCRIPTION
The Radon Vac

Radon Mitigation System is designed to reduce radon levels in homes by removing radon gas from
beneath the home and discharging it to the outdoors. The Radon Vac
TM
eliminates intrusive PVC pipe runs vertically through
living areas or ugly PVC runs up the home exterior. It reduces radon across a variety of sub-slab soil types (dirt, gravel,
etc.). It features a sealed, galvanized housing & PSC permanently lubricated, quiet-low watt motor. The corrosion-proof,
Variable Aspiration Control Hood dilutes radon gas with infused outdoor air & propels it away. Airflow velocity easily adjusts
for various pipe lengths and extraction point from a sump pit or below basement floor.
