Report Shows Hardness in Mg/L Units

A laboratory water test report for New Castle County’s aquifer 217PTMC typically lists hardness values expressed in milligrams per liter (mg/L), identifying calcium and magnesium minerals in the water. In area groundwater sampling from 2010 to 2014, measurements ranged widely between 10.5 and 432 mg/L with a median of 62.3 mg/L across 7 wells.

Note Depth of Sampled Wells

The area wells sampled were measured at depths between 69 and 737 feet, which may influence water mineral content.

Maintenance Rhythm of the C-Series Sensitive Skin & Eczema System

Grain Capacity Defines Service Timing

This water treatment system has a documented grain capacity of 32,000, indicating how much mineral content it can process before requiring attention.

Ships Ready to Configure—No Specialized Help Needed

The system arrives ready for setup with household plumbing and can be handled by the user, emphasizing straightforward adjustments without reliance on specialists.

How Treated Water Feels Different at the Tap

Reduction of Skin-Irritating Minerals

After processing by the C-Series System, calcium and magnesium levels that can exacerbate sensitive skin conditions are reduced, often resulting in improved comfort during bathing and washing.

Water Softness Leads to Gentler Contact

The treated water tends to feel less harsh, which can minimize irritation and dryness that those with sensitive skin frequently report.

About the Sampling Behind These Figures

Seven Wells Sampled Over Four Years

The available data derives from seven wells sampled between August 2010 and October 2014, providing a snapshot but not a comprehensive profile of all water in the region.

Median and Range Reflect Area Trends, Not Individual Conditions

These values indicate typical mineral levels found in the local aquifer but do not represent any single household's water chemistry.

Consequences of Ignoring Mineral Content Over Time

Continuous Exposure May Worsen Skin Sensitivity

Prolonged contact with water containing moderate to high mineral concentrations can increase discomfort for people with sensitive skin, potentially aggravating redness or itching.

Possible Buildup and Residue Effects

Hardness minerals might leave deposits on the skin or fixtures, which could contribute indirectly to irritation if not addressed.

How the C-Series Technology Removes or Neutralizes Minerals

Ion Exchange Process Targets Calcium and Magnesium

The system operates by exchanging hardness ions with sodium or potassium ions, effectively lowering calcium and magnesium concentrations in water.

Capacity Supports Long-Term Mineral Reduction

With a 32,000-grain capacity, the unit maintains effectiveness over extended use before performance requires renewal.

Essential Test to Clarify Your Water’s Impact on Sensitive Skin

Order a Water Hardness Test Specific to Your Home

To understand how your water may affect sensitive skin, request a hardness test from a certified laboratory targeting calcium and magnesium content directly from your well or tap water.

Results Within Regional Range Suggest Area Norms

Finding your water’s hardness within the range documented by local government sampling can help assess whether mineral content is a likely factor in skin sensitivity.

Consulting Test Results Can Guide Treatment Choices

Accurate measurement of your home's water hardness provides the necessary foundation for selecting an appropriate water management solution like the C-Series Sensitive Skin & Eczema System.

Source: USGS groundwater sampling. Sampled 2014-10-14. 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.
