Only Certain Fixtures and Processes Show Effects on Sensitive Skin First
In households drawing water from the Lancaster County aquifer N100GLCIAL, water travels from underground wells ranging 15 to 320 feet deep to taps throughout the home. Fixtures where water contacts skin directly—such as showers, baths, and bathroom sinks—are most likely to reveal any water-related effects on sensitive skin. Appliances like dishwashers or washing machines primarily affect fabric or dish cleanliness more than skin condition.
Understanding 'Detected,' 'Median,' and 'Range' in Water Sampling Data
Government sampling between June 2010 and October 2011 took 79 hardness measurements from 21 wells in the aquifer. The term 'detected' here means the measurement tool found a concentration of calcium and magnesium minerals in every sample—not that any level is unsafe or problematic. 'Median' indicates the middle value, showing typical hardness at 302 mg/L, while 'range' (170 to 1150 mg/L) shows variability between wells. These statistics describe the aquifer generally but do not indicate individual household water hardness without testing your own well.
How Well Depth and Source Type Influence Water Characteristics for Sensitive Skin
Wells sampled varied from shallow (15 feet) to much deeper (320 feet). Deeper wells often produce water with different mineral levels than shallow wells, affecting hardness and potentially how water feels on skin. This variability means a home drawing from a shallow well might experience different skin effects than one using a deeper source. Knowing well depth can help anticipate water quality but does not replace direct testing.
How Water Conditioned by the Fleck Sensitive Skin & Eczema System Feels at Your Tap
The Fleck Sensitive Skin & Eczema System ships ready to configure and treats water hardness by adjusting mineral content to minimize skin irritation. Once configured, water from taps and showers is softened according to a capacity up to 32,000 grains, reducing minerals that can dry or irritate sensitive skin. This treatment can help make daily washing gentler and ease symptoms related to water interaction without altering safety or health-based water standards.
What the Sampled Mineral Range Means in Relation to Federal Standards and What It Does Not
The measured hardness values in Lancaster County’s aquifer N100GLCIAL do not exceed any federal thresholds, confirming compliance with all health-based regulations. However, these federal limits focus on safety, not aesthetics or skin comfort. Hardness affects how water feels and may contribute to skin dryness or irritation in sensitive individuals, but detection or even higher levels do not indicate an unsafe water supply.
Evaluating Treatment Capacity Relative to Household Water Use
When considering treatment options, it is important to match the system capacity to household water demand. The Fleck Sensitive Skin & Eczema System provides a 32,000-grain capacity, suitable for typical residential use. Households with higher water consumption or larger family size may need to monitor system frequency for regeneration to maintain consistent conditioned water quality, supporting skin comfort continuously.
In summary, Lancaster County’s aquifer water quality data provide a broad view of mineral content and its variability but cannot specify individual household conditions without direct testing. Understanding these factors alongside the capacity and function of the Fleck Sensitive Skin & Eczema System helps homeowners make informed decisions about water treatment for sensitive skin care.
Where this information comes from
Source: USGS groundwater sampling. Sampled 2011-10-12. 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 Hardness, Ca, Mg in the N100GLCIAL aquifer (Lancaster County): 79 results from 21 wells, median 302.0 mg/L, range 170.0-1150.0 mg/L; none above any federal threshold
