How do public water-quality records differ from testing my private well in revealing uranium-radium levels?
Government sampling in Randolph County's aquifer 112PLSC provides a picture of uranium presence in the area's groundwater but does not reflect your specific well's results. Between 2014 and 2025, six samples from three wells in this area detected uranium concentrations ranging from 0.137 to 6.39 micrograms per liter, with a median of 1.058 micrograms per liter. None of these results exceeded federal standards for uranium. While this information can inform general expectations, only a water test of your own well can accurately determine your household's uranium and radium levels.
Can the age or material of my home's plumbing affect uranium and radium levels, regardless of source water data?
Yes. Plumbing material and system age can influence how contaminants behave once water enters your home. While uranium and radium enter groundwater naturally, interactions with pipes and fixtures may affect taste, staining, or corrosion characteristics, which are separate from uranium-radium presence itself. Thus, treatment needs may vary depending on plumbing factors that are distinct from source water quality provided by public records.
What does the measured uranium range in Randolph County mean in relation to regulatory limits, and what does it not mean?
The range found in sampled wells (0.137 to 6.39 ug/L) falls below or well below the federal uranium limits established to protect health. Detection of uranium in water samples does not imply a violation or immediate safety concern. Instead, it indicates the element is measurable and may warrant further personal water testing to understand your specific situation. It does not confirm elevated radium levels or define treatment urgency without household-specific data.
How do I determine the treatment capacity needed for uranium-radium removal based on my household’s water use?
Treatment capacity must correspond to your home's daily water demand. The uranium-radium removal system documented here offers 32,000 grain capacity, which should be assessed against your expected water use to ensure sufficient treatment longevity between service intervals. Calculating your typical daily water consumption will help guide whether this capacity meets your household's needs after the failure of previous equipment.
How does the C-Series Uranium & Radium System address uranium and radium in residential water?
The C-Series Uranium & Radium System employs a specialized technology designed to reduce uranium and radium concentrations in water. It effectively removes these contaminants to help maintain water quality consistent with the expectations set by local source water data. This system ships ready to configure and can provide a reliable solution when previous treatment equipment is no longer functioning.
Given your household's daily water usage, the C-Series Uranium & Radium System provides a documented treatment capacity of 32,000 grains to support your water quality goals in Randolph County's aquifer 112PLSC area.

Source: USGS groundwater sampling. Sampled 2025-09-04. 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 Uranium in the 112PLSC aquifer (Randolph County): 6 results from 3 wells, median 1.058 ug/L, range 0.137-6.39 ug/L; none above any federal threshold
