Comparing Arsenic Data in Marshall County to Nearby Areas

Sample Depths and Aquifer Specificity

Samples from Marshall County target aquifer 124TLLT, with wells 33 to 38 feet deep, providing localized data for this water source.

Median and Range of Arsenic Results

Government data from six samples found arsenic ranging from 0.02 to 0.07 micrograms per liter (ug/L), with a median value of 0.03 ug/L, all below federal health thresholds.

Detection Frequency

Arsenic was detected in half the samples, with the remainder below reporting limits, indicating occasional presence but no confirmed exceedance.

Fixtures and Appliances Impacted by Arsenic

Water for Drinking and Cooking

Household arsenic concerns focus mainly on faucets supplying water for ingestion, as arsenic exposure occurs primarily through consumption.

Ice Makers and Water Dispensers

Appliances producing ice or dispensing drinking water experience first contact with potential arsenic concentrations, affecting water quality.

Humidifiers and Aquariums

Devices using water that can aerosolize or interact with living organisms warrant attention due to possible arsenic content.

Steps to Assess Arsenic Presence in Household Water

Review Local Government Water Quality Data

Marshall County’s aquifer data offer context but do not reveal specific household well conditions.

Conduct Visual and Taste Checks

Arsenic is tasteless and colorless; no sensory signs reliably indicate its presence.

Order Certified Laboratory Testing

A conclusive arsenic measurement requires a certified water test focused on arsenic, confirming if treatment is necessary.

How the C-Series Arsenic Filter Addresses Arsenic Removal

Targeted Removal Technology

The C-Series system uses proven filtration methods to reduce arsenic levels, tailored to household water demands.

Ready to Configure for Residential Use

This equipment ships ready to configure, compatible with typical household water systems without professional assistance.

Interpreting 'Detected,' 'Median,' and 'Range' in Arsenic Data

Meaning of 'Detected'

Detection indicates the presence of arsenic above the instrument's reporting limit but does not imply a violation or health risk.

Significance of Median Value

The median arsenic concentration (0.03 ug/L) represents the middle value of measured samples, reflecting typical levels in monitored wells.

Understanding Range

The 0.02 to 0.07 ug/L range shows variability among samples but remains below federally established safety thresholds.

Distinguishing Aesthetic Standards from Health Limits for Arsenic

Aesthetic Secondary Standards

Arsenic does not have an aesthetic secondary standard since it does not affect taste, odor, or staining.

Health-Based Limits

Federal regulations set maximum contaminant levels for arsenic focused on health protection; all area samples fall below these limits.

Conclusion

Choosing the right treatment requires confirming your household’s arsenic levels through testing. Once demand is assessed, the C-Series Arsenic Filter offers an effective solution designed for residential water systems, reducing arsenic according to your specific needs.

Source: USGS groundwater sampling. Sampled 2022-06-02. 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 124TLLT aquifer (Marshall County): 6 results from 3 wells, median 0.03 ug/L, range 0.02-0.07 ug/L; none above any federal threshold
