How the C-Series Uranium & Radium System Addresses Uranium in Home Water
The system uses targeted filtration media designed to reduce uranium and radium concentrations.
It provides a grain capacity of 32,000 for extended treatment without frequent media replacement.
The technology ships ready to configure for connection with existing water lines, no special plumbing expertise required.
Key Information to Gather Before Seeking Treatment Guidance
Obtain a certified laboratory analysis of your household water to determine your specific uranium and radium levels.
Note the depth and type of your water source, as area sampling wells ranged from 9 to 29 feet deep.
Record any water quality observations such as taste, staining, or other visible changes, while remembering these are not definitive indicators of uranium or radium presence.
Adjustments for Multiple or Seasonal Residences
Larger households may require treatment systems with higher capacity or flow rates beyond the standard 32,000 grain capacity.
Second homes or seasonal properties benefit from systems that can maintain treatment effectiveness during periods of low water use.
Consider water usage patterns to determine appropriate system sizing and media regeneration frequency.
Interpreting Area Uranium Results Relative to Federal Standards
USGS sampling in Hennepin County aquifer 112GSSG found uranium detected in all 23 samples from 20 wells between 2011 and 2016.
The median uranium concentration was 1.93 micrograms per liter, with a range from 0.07 to 23.4 micrograms per liter.
No sampled wells exceeded federal uranium concentration thresholds, indicating no area-wide violations in this data set.
Detection does not equate to violation or unsafe water; only individual well testing confirms household water conditions.
Recognizing Symptoms That May or May Not Indicate Uranium or Radium Presence
Common symptoms like discoloration or scaling can have many causes unrelated to uranium or radium.
The absence of taste or odor changes does not guarantee uranium or radium is absent since these elements are typically odorless and tasteless at detected levels.
Only certified testing can accurately measure uranium and radium concentrations in your water supply.
What Hennepin County Area Data Should Not Lead You to Assume
The area groundwater data do not specify your household’s water quality since samples came from multiple wells with varied depths.
A detection or concentration range from area sampling is not a direct measure of safety or health risk for your water supply.
Individual testing remains essential for reliable assessment and treatment decisions for uranium and radium concerns.
Where this information comes from
Source: USGS groundwater sampling. Sampled 2016-09-08. 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 Uranium in the 112GSSG aquifer (Hennepin County): 23 results from 20 wells, median 1.93 ug/L, range 0.07-23.4 ug/L; none above any federal threshold
