What to Note Before Seeking Treatment Advice

Document Your Current Equipment Status

Record that your existing water treatment equipment has stopped functioning properly. This helps clarify the urgency and type of response needed.

Obtain Recent Water Testing Results from Your Own Well

General area data exist, but only a well-specific water test can confirm your household’s arsenic level.

Note the Depth of Your Well

The depth of your well impacts which aquifer water the well taps and the arsenic levels it may contain.

How Depth and Water Source Affect Expectations

Regional Sampling Covered Wells 55 to 166 Feet Deep

Area data from Shelby County’s aquifer 100ALVM include wells within this depth range, reflecting arsenic levels typically found at these depths.

Shallow Wells May Differ in Composition

Wells shallower than 55 feet or deeper than 166 feet might have water chemistry that varies from these regional samples.

Public and Private Wells May Access Different Water Layers

Your source type—private well or public system—influences the groundwater characteristics encountered, including arsenic presence.

Understanding Seasonal and Multi-Year Data Variation

Sample Dates Spanned September 20 to 28, 2017

Government data reflect a one-week snapshot in late 2017, illustrating a brief period without seasonal shifts.

Arsenic Levels Varied from 0.51 to 5.4 Micrograms per Liter

Within the sampled wells, arsenic was detected consistently but well below federal thresholds, which indicates no health-based violation at the time.

Median Level Recorded Was 1.7 Micrograms per Liter

This median offers a central tendency but is not a guarantee of your household water arsenic concentration.

Consequences of Long-Term Arsenic Exposure Without Treatment

Prolonged Exposure Can Impact Health Over Time

While federal standards guide safety levels, chronic exposure to arsenic above recommended levels is linked to health concerns, making effective treatment important.

Arsenic Does Not Usually Alter Water Taste or Appearance

Since arsenic is colorless and tasteless, you cannot rely on sensory cues to assess its presence.

Failure of Treatment Equipment May Resume Exposure

Without a functioning system, any arsenic in your water is not being reduced, highlighting the need for prompt response.

Routine Considerations for Using the Documented Treatment Technology

Product Ships Ready to Configure

The Autotrol Arsenic Filter arrives prepared for household setup without requiring professional service visits.

Regular System Checks Ensure Continued Effectiveness

Periodic verification of system function and media condition keeps treatment performance reliable over time.

Filter Media Replacement Is Based on Usage and Water Quality

Replace components according to manufacturer guidance aligned with your household’s water consumption and arsenic levels.

Government sampling from Shelby County’s aquifer 100ALVM offers a useful regional perspective on arsenic presence but does not substitute for individual well testing. If your existing equipment has failed, documenting well depth, obtaining your own water quality data, and understanding treatment basics will guide your next steps. The Autotrol Arsenic Filter provides a ready-to-configure option for effectively reducing arsenic in household water.

Where this information comes from

Source: USGS groundwater sampling. Sampled 2017-09-28. 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 100ALVM aquifer (Shelby County): 10 results from 5 wells, median 1.7 ug/L, range 0.51-5.4 ug/L; none above any federal threshold
