Government groundwater sampling in Hamilton County, focused on aquifer 112OTSH, provides useful but limited information about nitrate presence in the area. This data helps homeowners understand regional conditions yet cannot specify their own water quality. Before choosing among treatment methods, it is important to know what the regional findings mean and what further testing is necessary.
If you want to know how treated water will differ at your tap
Water treated with the Fleck Nitrate & Nitrite (Well) Filter will have reduced nitrate and nitrite levels as these compounds are specifically targeted by this technology. The system uses a filtration process designed to lower detected nitrate and nitrite concentrations to levels that meet or improve upon typical drinking water standards. This results in water better suited for household use where nitrate is of concern. The Fleck System ships ready to configure for residential water setups.
If you are interpreting the median and range of nitrate measurements in the Hamilton County record
The U.S. Geological Survey's data collected from 2010 to 2020 shows 12 samples from 5 different wells in aquifer 112OTSH with nitrate measured as nitrite. The median concentration was 0.0075 mg/L, while the range was from 0.001 to 0.038 mg/L. Four of these samples detected nitrite, and eight fell below the reporting limit, indicating very low concentrations overall across the area. Importantly, none of these samples exceeded federal nitrate or nitrite thresholds. Understanding this helps place your household's water in context but does not replace individual testing.
If you consider how many samples and wells form the basis of these nitrate figures
The data represent a relatively small sample: 12 results across 5 wells over a decade. Sampled wells ranged in depth from 22 to 68 feet. Because the sample size is limited and wells are few, local variation in nitrate levels can be expected. This underscores that these figures describe general conditions in the Hamilton County aquifer, not every home’s well water. A homeowner should treat this as preliminary insight rather than a definitive determination.
If you want to prepare for discussions about your water treatment options
Before choosing a nitrate treatment approach, write down key facts about your water source: the depth of your well, any available local water quality reports, your own recent nitrate or nitrite test results from a certified lab, and any household water use needs or concerns. Having this information ready will help when evaluating if a treatment like the Fleck Nitrate & Nitrite (Well) Filter fits your situation.
If you are trying to understand what a certified laboratory test for nitrate and nitrite reports
A certified lab test for nitrate or nitrite from your household water will provide precise concentrations measured in milligrams per liter (mg/L). These results indicate whether nitrate or nitrite are detected and at what levels, including values below or above reporting limits. This report is essential for knowing your well water’s actual condition. It cannot be substituted by regional data because local nitrate content can vary widely even within the same aquifer.
In summary, the nitrate and nitrite concentrations measured by the U.S. Geological Survey in Hamilton County’s aquifer 112OTSH come from a small number of wells sampled over ten years. The median and range show low nitrate levels with no federal thresholds exceeded in these samples. This information provides helpful background but does not replace individual well testing. For homeowners weighing treatment choices, the Fleck Nitrate & Nitrite (Well) Filter offers a documented solution designed to reduce these compounds when detected. The original data and detailed sampling are available directly from the U.S. Geological Survey groundwater monitoring site for Hamilton County.
Where this information comes from
Source: USGS groundwater sampling. Sampled 2020-11-17. 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.
