What Your PFAS Laboratory Test Report Shows

A laboratory test report for PFAS in water typically lists detected compounds by name along with their concentrations in micrograms per liter (µg/L) or nanograms per liter (ng/L). It will identify individual PFAS such as PFOA, PFOS, PFHxS, and others, showing which of these were detected and at what levels. These results help determine which PFAS are present in water but do not alone indicate safety or regulatory violations.

How Treated Water Changes at Your Tap with Fleck PFAS Forever Chemicals Filter

When the Fleck PFAS Forever Chemicals Filter is configured on your household water supply, it reduces various PFAS compounds by adsorbing or filtering them out of the water. This change typically leads to lower detectable levels of PFAS substances at your tap. The treated water delivers fewer of these compounds, contributing to aesthetic and potential long-term quality improvements. This filter ships ready to configure for use without specialist assistance.

Sample Size and What the Numbers Mean for You

The EPA’s data for Artesian Water Company, which serves Bear, Hockessin, and other parts of New Castle County, comes from 45 samples collected from the public water system. This sampling detected PFOA in 8 samples and PFOS in 2 samples above the minimum reporting levels during 2023–2025. Because this data covers many different points in the system, your home’s water could differ and requires individual testing to know your specific concentrations.

Interpreting Median and Range Values: A Local Example

For PFOA in this system, detected values range from just above 0.004 µg/L to a maximum of 0.0231 µg/L, with a median detected concentration of 0.0063 µg/L. This means half of the detected samples have concentrations below 0.0063 µg/L and half above, within the measured range. Such figures indicate the variability of PFAS presence across the system. Median and range provide a snapshot but cannot specify individual home water quality without direct testing.

Source Water Type and Sample Depth Influence on PFAS Levels

The Artesian Water Company relies on surface water sources for supply in this region. Surface water can show more variability in PFAS concentrations due to environmental inputs such as runoff or airborne deposition. Sampling comes from various depths and points in the system, so deeper well water or different sources in New Castle County could display different PFAS levels. This variability underscores the importance of source-specific information for water quality assessment.

Household Fixtures and Water Uses Most Affected by PFAS

Water used for drinking and cooking is the primary focus when addressing PFAS presence, as these activities involve direct ingestion. Appliances such as coffee makers, ice machines, and refrigerators with water dispensers are also involved. Bathing or cleaning uses generally involve less concern regarding PFAS exposure but reducing PFAS load at the water source benefits all household uses.

How the Fleck PFAS Forever Chemicals Filter Addresses PFAS Compounds

The Fleck system uses advanced filtration media designed to capture and reduce PFAS compounds in residential water supplies. It targets molecules like PFOA and PFOS among others, lowering their concentration before water reaches taps. The system works by adsorption, trapping PFAS molecules and preventing them from passing through with the water. This filter ships ready to configure and integrates into your household water line for ongoing PFAS reduction.

These figures and conclusions are based on public EPA sampling of the Artesian Water Company’s public water system serving Bear, Hockessin, and surrounding areas in New Castle County. For more detailed regional data, please consult the EPA’s official records.
