When experiencing dry skin, many people consider water quality as a possible factor. In Garland County, Arkansas, government sampling of groundwater from aquifer 364BGFK provides useful clues but cannot alone diagnose issues in any individual household's water. This guide outlines the necessary steps to understand what area data can reveal, what it cannot, and how to proceed toward a practical solution.

1. What to Record Before Seeking Water Treatment Advice

Start by noting all relevant details about your water experience and home circumstances. Record any water-related skin symptoms, water usage patterns, and characteristics such as taste, smell, or appearance. Also, write down any recent changes in plumbing or water sources. Finally, obtain a certified water test from your specific well or tap to identify constituents that might affect skin health.

2. Plumbing Material and Age's Impact on Water Quality Separate from Source Water

Plumbing components can influence water chemistry and how it interacts with your skin. Older pipes or certain materials might contribute to water dryness or irritation independently of the water source. Knowing your home's plumbing setup and maintenance history helps differentiate between source water effects and household plumbing factors.

3. How Hardness Constituents Enter Groundwater in Garland County

The U.S. Geological Survey sampled groundwater from six wells ranging in depth from 50 to 228 feet within Garland County’s 364BGFK aquifer between 2012 and 2023. These tests found calcium and magnesium—the main contributors to water hardness—detected consistently with median levels of 7.97 mg/L and values ranging from 1.12 to 160.0 mg/L. These minerals originate from natural rock and soil dissolution processes in the area’s geology.

4. Differences Between Public System Records and Private Well Testing

While public water system records offer data on treated municipal supplies, they do not represent private well conditions. Similarly, regional groundwater data is an aggregate from sampled wells and does not indicate the exact makeup of your own water. Only a direct, current test of your well or tap water provides specific details needed to evaluate skin-related effects.

5. Understanding 'Detected,' 'Median,' and 'Range' in the Sampling Data

'Detected' means the measurement instrument found the constituent present. It does not imply any legal violation or safety issue. The 'median' is the middle value among all samples, showing a typical concentration in the area. The 'range' indicates the lowest to highest concentrations recorded in the sampled wells, highlighting variability but not defining any single well’s condition.

6. How the Fleck System Addresses Water-Related Dry Skin

The Fleck Dry, Itchy Skin System is designed to condition water by targeting minerals that can contribute to dryness and irritation. It ships ready to configure for household use, providing a convenient option to modify water characteristics once specific water testing confirms a need. This approach is based on documented technology proven to neutralize factors linked to dry skin complaints.

Understanding area groundwater data alongside private water testing and your home’s plumbing conditions is essential to address dry skin properly. When your water testing indicates a demand for treatment, the Fleck Dry, Itchy Skin System offers a direct-purchase option to help restore water balance and comfort for your household.

Where this information comes from

Source: USGS groundwater sampling. Sampled 2023-07-24. These figures describe groundwater sampled in this area. They are not a test of any individual private well - only a test of that well can establish its own water.

On record: U.S. Geological Survey sampling of Hardness, Ca, Mg in the 364BGFK aquifer (Garland County): 10 results from 6 wells, median 7.97 mg/L, range 1.12-160.0 mg/L; none above any federal threshold
