Local Aquifer and Water Supply Overview

Palm Beach County receives groundwater primarily from aquifer 110SAQS. Water is drawn from wells ranging from 10 to 77 feet deep to serve residential taps. The U.S. Geological Survey sampled 32 wells between 2011 and 2016 to assess arsenic concentrations typical of this aquifer. These sample results do not represent any single household's water but indicate what may be found in the area.

How Water Quality Changes at the Tap with Treatment

Arsenic concentration is reduced below detection limits

Once treated using the Fleck Arsenic Filter, arsenic levels at the tap will be significantly lowered, often to below measurable amounts. This improves the water's safety profile and ensures compliance if arsenic is present near or above guideline levels.

No introduction of taste or odor changes

The treatment system avoids altering the water's natural taste or odor, maintaining the sensory qualities familiar to the household.

Continued availability of treated water volume

The system delivers arsenic-reduced water continuously, matching household usage patterns without interrupting supply.

Assessing Household Water Demand for Treatment Capacity

Calculate average daily household water use

Estimating the number of residents and common water uses helps determine the volume of treated water required per day.

Account for peak usage periods

Consider higher water use times, such as mornings or evenings, when selecting treatment capacity to maintain flow and arsenic removal efficiency.

Factor in well yield and pump capacity

Knowing the well's output rate guides matching treatment system throughput without overloading the filter media.

Additional Considerations for Commercial or Industrial Operators

Evaluate water demand variability

Operators should assess fluctuating water needs to size treatment systems appropriately.

Test for ancillary contaminants

Other chemical constituents that may affect treatment performance should be identified.

Monitor regulatory compliance specific to operations

Ensure adherence to any industry-specific water quality requirements beyond residential standards.

Interpretation of Arsenic Sampling Range Versus Federal Standards

Samples ranged from 0.12 to 73.7 µg/L arsenic

This range indicates the variability of arsenic in wells sampled within aquifer 110SAQS but does not define the level in any individual well.

Median arsenic value in the area was 1.1 µg/L

This central tendency helps contextualize typical arsenic presence but cannot substitute for testing your own water.

No federal arsenic threshold exceeded in samples

All detected arsenic levels fell below federal limits established to protect public health.

How the Fleck Arsenic Filter Removes Arsenic

Adsorbs arsenic onto specialized media

The Fleck System uses a filtration media designed to bind dissolved arsenic, removing it from water passing through.

Regenerates to maintain effectiveness

The system regenerates periodically to restore media capacity, ensuring consistent arsenic reduction.

Operates automatically based on water use

The device adjusts treatment cycles in response to household water consumption, optimizing performance and reducing maintenance needs.

Choosing the right arsenic treatment involves understanding local aquifer data, estimating household water needs, and considering how the Fleck Arsenic Filter operates to provide safe water. Testing your own well water is essential to confirm arsenic levels and finalize the appropriate treatment class.

Where this information comes from

Source: USGS groundwater sampling. Sampled 2016-08-22. 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 Arsenic in the 110SAQS aquifer (Palm Beach County): 32 results from 32 wells, median 1.1 ug/L, range 0.12-73.7 ug/L; none above any federal threshold
