What makes total well water treatment different from more common water problems?

Government sampling in El Paso County's aquifer 111ALVM shows a range of water quality results from multiple wells, but total well water treatment addresses the entire water supply coming from a private well as a whole system. Unlike treatment focused on a single specific issue, total well treatment aims to manage a broader set of potential water characteristics that can vary throughout the entire well supply. This approach covers what is drawn from the aquifer rather than individual tap or fixture-specific problems.

How should I interpret this area's water record compared to nearby counties?

When you look at data like the U.S. Geological Survey's results for El Paso County wells, it’s important not to assume similar numbers apply in adjacent counties. Variations in groundwater chemistry often occur between neighboring aquifers or regions. The recorded iron measurements in this El Paso County area include a median of 12.45 micrograms per liter (ug/L) from samples taken at depths between 16 and 215 feet. These values can differ substantially within even small geographic areas, so nearby county data may not reflect your well’s water quality.

How do seasonal or long-term changes affect the groundwater data shown here?

The well samples from El Paso County cover a decade-plus period, from May 2013 to December 2025. This timeframe allows observation of multi-year trends and seasonal shifts in measured constituents. For iron levels, the data show a median and a range from 4.1 to 1680 ug/L, revealing fluctuations over time and among wells. Such variations may influence the type and extent of treatment required at different times or over the lifespan of your well system.

What impact does plumbing material and home age have on water quality separate from well water?

Even if your well water has certain measurable characteristics, the materials used in your home’s plumbing system can change water quality before it reaches faucets. Older pipes or certain metals can contribute to additional water issues unrelated to the source water itself. This means that some water problems you notice may stem from internal plumbing rather than the well supply, which total well water treatment alone does not address.

How might water treatment needs change for a large household, second home, or seasonal property?

In homes with more residents or higher water usage, total water consumption and treatment demands will be greater. Seasonal or second homes may have different patterns of water use and potential for stagnation or variation in water quality when not regularly occupied. These factors influence how comprehensive and robust total well water treatment should be to maintain consistent water quality throughout the year or under varying household conditions.

In summary, federal groundwater sampling of El Paso County aquifer 111ALVM, from 50 wells over more than a decade, reveals a range of water qualities but no exceedance of federal thresholds. To understand your own home's water needs, testing your own well water is necessary. For many households evaluating treatment options, the Fleck Total Well Chlorination System offers a direct-purchase solution with a 32,000-grain capacity designed to manage total well water effectively.

Where this information comes from

Source: USGS groundwater sampling. Sampled 2025-12-18. 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 Iron in the 111ALVM aquifer (El Paso County): 160 results from 50 wells, median 12.45 ug/L, range 4.1-1680.0 ug/L; none above any federal threshold
