This week, if your current water treatment equipment struggles to manage acidic and hard water, you need a clear path forward.
How the Documented Treatment Technology Works
Neutralizing Acidity
The Fleck Acidic Water + Hard Water (Well) System utilizes chemistry designed to adjust water pH towards neutral, counteracting low pH conditions that can cause corrosion or metal leaching in plumbing. This avoids direct acid removal but balances acidity to prevent damage.
Reducing Hardness Minerals
This system significantly reduces hardness minerals, which cause scale buildup and reduce appliance efficiency, by combining ion exchange methods with acid control to maintain water balance.
Capacity for Residential Use
With a grain capacity of 32,000, it is sized to handle typical American household water demands while maintaining effectiveness over time.
How Public-System Records Differ from Private-Well Testing
Regional Data Scope
The U.S. Geological Survey's groundwater sampling in Ford County’s N100HGHPLN aquifer offers median and range data on pH, representing multiple wells but not your individual well. These data help understand general water characteristics in the area.
Need for On-Site Testing
Private well owners must test their own water to know precise pH and hardness levels because local variations can exist. Public records provide regional context but do not establish specific household conditions.
How Treated Water Differs at the Tap
Balanced pH Levels
After treatment with the Fleck System, water is closer to neutral pH, helping prevent corrosion and metal taste issues common in acidic water.
Softer Water Feel
Hardness minerals, primarily calcium and magnesium, are reduced to ease soap use, prevent scale formation, and improve the feel of water on skin and hair.
Consistent Performance
The system maintains these improvements consistently, addressing the gaps where previous equipment could not keep up.
Interpreting the Measured pH Range from Government Data
Observed pH Range
Samples from 2015 in Ford County show pH values ranging from 7.1 to 7.5 standard units, which fall well within the U.S. EPA secondary standard range of 6.5 to 8.5. This standard addresses water aesthetics and corrosivity, not health.
What This Does Not Indicate
These measurements are not specific to any single home and do not imply a violation of regulations or an unsafe condition. They simply describe typical water conditions in the sampled aquifer.
Information to Record Before Seeking Treatment Advice
Water Source Type
Note whether your water comes from a private well or public supply, as treatment needs differ.
Recent Water Quality Tests
Collect laboratory results for pH, hardness, and other relevant parameters measured directly from your water source.
Current Treatment Capacity
Understand the capabilities and limitations of your existing equipment to discuss appropriate upgrades effectively.
Water Usage Patterns
Track household water use to ensure the treatment system's capacity matches demand.

Where this information comes from
Source: USGS groundwater sampling. Sampled 2015-05-07. 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 pH in the N100HGHPLN aquifer (Ford County): 4 results from 1 wells, median 7.1 standard units, range 7.1-7.5 standard units; EPA secondary standard for pH is 6.5-8.5 (aesthetic/corrosivity, not health-based); 0 of 4 sampled results fell below 6.5
