Residents in Pecos County using a complete well for household water often notice taste or staining issues at their faucets. This can indicate variation in components like total dissolved solids (TDS), measured in milligrams per liter (mg/L), which affect water characteristics but are not health hazards alone.

How Fleck System Addresses Total Dissolved Solids

Removes or reduces minerals causing taste and staining

The Fleck Complete Well System employs filtration and ion exchange technology tailored to reduce TDS levels that cause aesthetic concerns. By targeting dissolved minerals, it helps improve water clarity and taste joined with reduced buildup on fixtures.

Ships ready to configure for household water volumes

Built with a grain capacity of 32,000, the Fleck System accommodates typical residential demand without requiring additional customization at purchase.

Interpreting Government Sampling for TDS in Pecos County Aquifer 218EDDT

Median TDS is 928 mg/L, from 51 samples across 17 wells

Sampling by the U.S. Geological Survey from 2010 to 2017 found TDS contents ranging from 0.59 to 5,340 mg/L. These wells were between 150 and 600 feet deep and represent the Pecos County aquifer 218EDDT as a whole, not any single well.

32 of 51 samples exceeded the secondary standard (500 mg/L) for aesthetics, not safety

This secondary standard guides consumer perception of taste and staining potential; exceeding it does not indicate unsafe water or a regulatory violation.

Considerations for Varied Household Water Usage Situations

Larger households may require reviewing daily water volume to maintain performance

The Fleck System’s 32,000 grain capacity can serve typical families; larger households should track consumption to decide if additional units or maintenance cycles are needed.

Second homes or seasonal properties might need adjustments for intermittent use

Water stagnation and mineral concentration shifts can occur when a property is unoccupied for long periods; reassessing water quality before use is advisable.

Information to Gather Before Seeking Water Treatment Advice

Obtain a recent water test specific to your well

Only testing your own water will reveal the unique constituent levels impacting your household.

Note household size and daily water demand

These figures determine the capacity and regeneration frequency needed for treatment equipment to function optimally.

Record any visible water issues noticed

Examples include taste, staining, or deposits; these observations help focus the treatment approach.

Example: Understanding the Water Quality Record as a Homeowner

Median TDS of 928 mg/L means typical water may exceed taste and staining thresholds

Water from the Pecos County aquifer often contains dissolved solids above the 500 mg/L aesthetic threshold. This can cause noticeable taste or scaling but is not a health warning.

Wide range from 0.59 to 5,340 mg/L highlights variability across wells

This indicates some wells provide very low dissolved solids water and others much higher, underscoring the need for testing your specific well before treatment decisions.

For households in Pecos County with complete well water needing treatment after equipment failure, the Fleck Complete Well System offers a solution designed to handle typical dissolved solids challenges. Its 32,000 grain capacity supports residential water use reliably when matched to your water’s specifics.

Where this information comes from

Source: USGS groundwater sampling. Sampled 2017-06-14. 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.

On record: U.S. Geological Survey sampling of Total dissolved solids in the 218EDDT aquifer (Pecos County): 51 results from 17 wells, median 928.0 mg/L, range 0.59-5340.0 mg/L; 32 above an AESTHETIC secondary standard only (secondary standard 500.0 mg/L (aesthetic)) - not a health finding
