Canadian radon mitigation standards require every active sub-slab depressurization system to have a visible system performance indicator. The U-tube manometer is the standard solution used by C-NRPP certified mitigators across the country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere should I install it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMount it on the radon pipe in a readily visible indoor location — typically on the vertical pipe section in the basement or mechanical room, below the fan. It must be readable by the homeowner without tools or special access.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does a normal reading look like?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen the system is operating, the blue fluid column will be deflected (uneven). The greater the deflection, the stronger the sub-slab suction. A flat, level fluid column means the fan is not running or the system has a leak — investigate immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this measure radon levels?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. It measures vacuum pressure in the pipe, not radon concentration. To measure actual radon levels you need a radon detector or test kit. The manometer confirms the mitigation system is actively pulling air from beneath your slab.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use this with any radon fan?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — as long as the fan's operating vacuum does not exceed 4.5\" WC. This covers most residential radon fans including the RadonAway RP145, RP265, GX3, and GX4. For the GX5A or other high-suction applications, use the 6.5\" model (P\/N 50036).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's the difference between the blue and red versions?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFunction and accuracy are identical. The only difference is fluid color — blue (P\/N 50017) or red (P\/N 50018). Choose whichever is more visible against your pipe and wall color.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RadonAway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48030877778175,"sku":"50036","price":32.85,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0793\/6639\/0015\/files\/50036_front.jpg?v=1768107672","url":"https:\/\/radondepot.ca\/products\/radonaway-easy-read-u-tube-manometer","provider":"Radon Depot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
