Radon Monitors for the Home Owner
Inexpensive radon monitors have been around for a few years. I must say that I was not impressed with the 1st attempts to provide an affordable electronic radon tester for the public. But the Safety Siren Pro Series 3 radon monitor is a quality product. I have mitigated a number of houses where these devices were being used by my customers. When I perform a radon mitigation a follow up test is performed to verify the results of the radon fan system. I provide a Air Chek short-term 3-7 day charcoal test kit and the results have been been right in line with the digital readout on their Safety Siren radon detector. So for those of you who like science experiments, this little tester is kind of fun to watch, since radon levels will vary greatly, even over the course of a day. But this will only give you a readout every seven days and will keep track of long term averages from the time it is first plugged in. If you are looking for a continuous read out you'll pay close to $1000 USD or much more. The Safety Siren Pro Series 3 is definitely worth $119.00. But if you end up with some border line results in the 4pCi/L range, you may want purchase a short-term test kit to verify your results. The scientist in me says yea it's worth it... And hey when you are done with your house you can try it out at your family and friends homes too!! RadonZone is a reputable company with great customer service and you'll have your new tester in a 2-3 days.
