Government sampling in Kent County's aquifer shows chloride detected in all tested wells, with a median of 26.65 mg/L and a range from 7.26 to 322.0 mg/L based on 32 results from 16 wells sampled between 2014 and 2019.
How to judge treatment capacity against the household's or facility's daily demand
Calculate daily water usage in gallons to estimate filter throughput needs
Consider peak and average water use times to ensure consistent protection
Review household pipe conditions that may increase sensitivity to corrosive water effects
How the documented treatment technology removes or neutralises the constituent
The C-Series System uses specialized media to mitigate corrosive agents affecting pipes
This technology targets interactions that cause pipe degradation, prolonging plumbing lifespan
C-Series equipment ships ready to configure for integration with existing home water systems
What 'detected', 'median' and 'range' mean in the sampling record on this page
'Detected' means chloride was measured in all samples, not that levels are unsafe
'Median' indicates the middle value of chloride concentrations found across samples
'Range' shows variability, from as low as 7.26 mg/L to a high of 322.0 mg/L in this area
Maintenance rhythm of the documented technology in plain terms
Filter media replacement depends on household water consumption and quality
Regular visual checks help identify when capacity approaches limits
Manufacturer guidance provides timelines for routine service and media refresh
What the reader should write down before asking anyone for treatment advice
Record your household's average daily water use in gallons
Note any pipe material types and known plumbing age
Obtain certified laboratory test results for your specific water supply
A worked example: reading the record's median and range as a homeowner would
With a median chloride of 26.65 mg/L, typical water shows low to moderate corrosivity indicators
Ranges up to 322.0 mg/L suggest some water sources in the area may require more intensive treatment
Testing your own well or supply water is essential to determine exact conditions
This sampling record applies to groundwater wells 11 to 18 feet deep in Kent County's aquifer, as reported by the U.S. Geological Survey. Visit their site for detailed data and updates.
Where this information comes from
Source: USGS groundwater sampling. Sampled 2019-12-10. 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 Chloride in the aquifer (Kent County): 32 results from 16 wells, median 26.65 mg/L, range 7.26-322.0 mg/L; 1 above an AESTHETIC secondary standard only (secondary standard 250.0 mg/L (aesthetic)) - not a health finding
