Sampling Scope and Data Limitations
Number of wells sampled and sample count
The U.S. Geological Survey collected 31 arsenic measurements from 22 separate wells in Camden County's aquifer 121CKKD over 2010 to 2023.
Depth range of sampled wells
These wells ranged from 14 to 150 feet deep, representing a portion of the local groundwater sources.
Interpretation caution for small sample size
Results offer a regional overview but do not reflect an individual household’s water; actual arsenic levels can vary well by well.
Influence of Plumbing Material and System Age
Arsenic originates from groundwater, not plumbing
Arsenic presence is related to natural deposits in aquifers and is not caused by household plumbing materials or their age.
Potential plumbing effects are separate issues
Plumbing components may affect water in other ways but do not contribute to arsenic content measured in source water.
Understanding Aesthetic vs. Health-Based Standards for Arsenic
Federal arsenic thresholds and sampling results
None of the 31 sampled results in this area exceeded any federal arsenic threshold established to protect health.
Detected arsenic does not equal unsafe water
Detection means arsenic was measurable; it does not indicate that levels are unsafe or violate health standards.
Secondary standards relate to taste or staining, not arsenic
Arsenic does not have an aesthetic secondary standard; concerns over taste, staining, or corrosion involve other constituents.
Changes in Water Quality After Treatment
Effect on arsenic concentration
The C-Series Arsenic Filter reduces arsenic levels by removing it from water as it passes through the filter media.
Water clarity and taste improvements
By addressing arsenic, the treated water may also taste fresher and avoid potential long-term risks.
Ongoing water quality verification recommended
Testing your own household water will confirm arsenic levels before and after treatment to assess effectiveness.
How the C-Series Arsenic Filter Works
Filtration technology basics
The system uses specialized media designed to adsorb arsenic particles from the water.
Maintenance and lifecycle notes
The filter media eventually reaches capacity and requires timely replacement to maintain performance.
Compatibility with household systems
The product ships ready to configure with existing plumbing setups, operating without complex integration.
What Camden County Arsenic Data Does Not Demonstrate
Data does not specify your household’s arsenic level
Local sampling provides general guidance but individual well testing is the only way to know your water’s arsenic content.
Detection is not a violation or unsafe condition
Measuring arsenic in area wells does not mean your water exceeds legal or health limits.
Municipal water systems here have no recorded health-based arsenic violations
Area public water records do not show arsenic levels exceeding federal health guidelines.
Where this information comes from
Source: USGS groundwater sampling. Sampled 2023-08-15. 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 Arsenic in the 121CKKD aquifer (Camden County): 31 results from 22 wells, median 0.075 ug/L, range 0.05-0.85 ug/L; none above any federal threshold
