Arsenic in your water

Your regional water experts for water quality issues in New Hampshire

Arsenic in water in this region is natural; it is an element of our earth’s crust. New Hampshire has a lot of arsenic in the water. In fact, 1 in 5 houses on a private well in the state have actionable levels of arsenic in their water. More and more attention is being called to this very real water quality problem in the region.

Long term exposure to arsenic has been related to cancers, cardiovascular disease, immunological disorders, diabetes and neurological issues. Arsenic is described as an “accumulative enabler” – its health effects can accumulate over time. The health issues with arsenic have been shown to be primarily related to drinking rather than skin contact, so your first decision is whether you treat the drinking water, at “point of use,” or the whole house or whole facility water, known as “point of entry.” Only you can make the decision.

Testing & Treating Arsenic in Well Water

Secondwind uses a trusted independent lab that charges $30 to test well water for arsenic. If arsenic is in your water and you decide to treat it, your first decision is whether you treat the drinking water at the point of use (sink) or the whole house, known as the point of entry.

We often tell customers that when it comes to residential water filtration equipment and installation, you get what you pay for. We offer the K5 Drinking Water System from Kinetico, a leading water treatment systems company with products built in the U.S. The K5 is a reverse osmosis water filtration system that can be used as a point of use or whole house.

With a reverse osmosis system, your water passes through a semipermeable membrane that changes the concentration of dissolved elements. Water is forced against the membrane under pressure. Contaminants, including arsenic, are rejected by the membrane and only water passes through. Reverse osmosis technology greatly reduces the total dissolved solids in your water. When combined with other filtration technologies, some reverse osmosis systems also remove protozoa, bacteria and viruses.
