Myth: Jerome County’s Water Quality Record Defines Your Home’s Specific Well Conditions
Local government sampling covers multiple wells in Jerome County’s aquifer 110SKRV, with 25 wells and 98 samples taken between 2010 and 2019. This shows the range of water quality present in the area but does not define any single household’s water composition. Each private well’s water must be tested individually to understand its exact dissolved solids and other constituents.
Myth: Matching Capacity to Average Household Demand is Enough for Complete Well Treatment
Completing well water treatment requires equipment sized to handle daily household water usage and water quality variability. The Fleck Complete Well System, with a grain capacity of 32,000, is designed to serve average residential demands while managing total dissolved solids in the typical concentration range found in this region. Proper capacity ensures consistent performance without frequent regeneration cycles.
Myth: Laboratory Tests Are the First and Only Step to Deciding on Treatment Options
Before costly tests, a sequence of preliminary checks can inform decisions. These include visual inspections for staining or taste issues and understanding area water reports. Regional data indicating a median total dissolved solids concentration of 258.5 mg/L, with one measurement slightly above the secondary aesthetic threshold of 500 mg/L, helps frame what treatment technologies might be effective. Still, a lab test of the actual well water remains essential for confirmation.
Myth: Water Depth and Source Type Have No Impact on Water Quality Expectations
Government sampling in wells ranging from 140 to 563 feet deep captures a variety of groundwater conditions. Deeper wells can show differing mineral content than shallow ones. Knowing the depth and source type of your well informs likely constituent concentrations and treatment needs. The Fleck System adapts to these variations with robust design to manage solids and minerals typically encountered in this aquifer.
Myth: All Fixtures and Appliances in the Home Are Equally Affected by Water Quality Issues
Water with elevated total dissolved solids or minerals impacts fixtures and appliances differently. Appliances relying heavily on water quality, such as humidifiers, coffee makers, and water heaters, often experience scaling or staining before general plumbing does. Treatment systems aim to protect these components first, preserving both appliance longevity and water aesthetics for daily use.
Conclusion: What Area Aquifer Data Does Not Reveal About Your Well Water
While Jerome County’s aquifer 110SKRV sampling offers valuable context on water quality ranges, it does not replace specific testing of your own well water. The detection of total dissolved solids in all samples, with most below the aesthetic secondary standard, indicates typical regional conditions but does not imply any health concern or violation. To select effective complete well water treatment equipment, such as the Fleck Complete Well System, base decisions on accurate individual water analysis alongside understanding of local groundwater characteristics.

Source: USGS groundwater sampling. Sampled 2019-06-20. 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 Total dissolved solids in the 110SKRV aquifer (Jerome County): 98 results from 25 wells, median 258.5 mg/L, range 0.25-513.0 mg/L; 1 above an AESTHETIC secondary standard only (secondary standard 500.0 mg/L (aesthetic)) - not a health finding
