1. Starting With What You Can Check Yourself Before Testing Water Samples
When sensitive skin troubles emerge at home, it’s tempting to blame the water immediately. However, government data for Camden County’s aquifer 110QRNR, sampled from three wells between 2015 and 2017, shows consistent measurements of calcium and magnesium hard substances well within typical natural ranges. This suggests the water source in general is stable and below any federal thresholds for concern.
Before considering expensive lab tests of your own water, first review your household's water-using habits and visible symptoms. Are skin reactions linked to water contact, or possibly to soaps, detergents, or fabrics? Next, inspect your home’s plumbing for signs of wear or deposits that could release irritants independent of the source water. Only after excluding these factors should you pursue detailed water testing.
2. Plumbing Materials and Age Can Independently Affect Sensitive Skin
Water passing through older or corroded pipes may pick up irritants not originally present at the aquifer source. Materials like galvanized steel or older copper with buildup may affect water quality locally. Identifying plumbing age and materials is critical because any treatment addressing only the source water might miss these secondary contributors.
3. Interpreting Local Water Data: Median and Range in Practical Terms
Government sampling revealed a median hardness of 9.96 mg/L and a range from 7.44 to 22.2 mg/L of calcium plus magnesium combined in Camden County's aquifer 110QRNR water. This level is considered low to moderate hardness by general water quality standards. For a homeowner, this means the base water is unlikely to be a major irritant for sensitive skin. However, individual household variations require specific water tests to confirm personal water conditions.
4. Expected Changes at the Tap Using the Pentair Sensitive Skin & Eczema System
When using the Pentair Sensitive Skin & Eczema System, water treatment modifies water's interaction with skin by reducing minerals and other components that can contribute to dryness or irritation. The system’s 32,000-grain capacity ensures it handles typical household water usage while targeting factors linked to sensitive skin discomfort. After treatment, water tends to feel softer and less reactive, which supportive anecdotal evidence associates with improved skin comfort.
5. Additional Considerations for Commercial or Industrial Water Use
Commercial or industrial users in Camden County face higher water volumes and diverse water-contact scenarios that require more complex evaluation. Unlike residential use, business operators must consider water chemistry changes on large-scale equipment, regulatory demands, and potential skin contact in workplace settings, which calls for customized testing and treatment capacity planning beyond typical home systems.
Summary: Camden County area aquifer data suggests low to moderate hardness levels unlikely to be the sole cause of sensitive skin issues, emphasizing the importance of ruling out plumbing and lifestyle factors first. The Pentair Sensitive Skin & Eczema System offers a targeted solution to manage source water variables identified after other checks and testing confirm its suitability.
Where this information comes from
Source: USGS groundwater sampling. Sampled 2017-04-01. 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 110QRNR aquifer (Camden County): 31 results from 3 wells, median 9.96 mg/L, range 7.44-22.2 mg/L; none above any federal threshold
