Continuous radon measurement in waters is an appropriate tool for the study of its variations as well as for the clarification and understanding of the factors that cause these changes. In addition, sudden changes in radon activity concentration (RAC) in groundwater can be used to identify geodynamic activities and earthquake predictions. In this paper, two measuring systems for continuous monitoring of RAC in waters are presented and tested. One of them was designed for water sources with a high yield; the second one operates with a constant volume of a sample using a different method of 222Rn release from water. We present our first laboratory tests of continuous measurement of RAC in tap waters as well as the variations of RAC observed during a week.
