Arsenic treatment is specific to the well. In Arundel, a good removal system begins with a lab report that shows how much is present and in which form, and ends with a retest that proves the equipment is doing its job.
Arsenic Removal Systems for Arundel homes
Arundel is a mostly rural town inland of Kennebunkport, with wooded lots, small farms and quiet roads between Biddeford and Kennebunk. Bedrock under much of the town means newer wells are drilled into rock, with flow coming from cracks that vary from lot to lot.
Many houses were built in waves during the last few decades, so wells of very different ages sit side by side. A buyer should ask for the well depth, the pump age and the last bacteria, arsenic and radon results before closing.
What we see in York County wells
Inland York County sits on granite and metamorphic bedrock that can release arsenic into groundwater. Two houses on the same road near Arundel's rural roads between the Kennebunk and Saco areas can read differently because arsenic lives in specific fractures, so every drilled well in Arundel should have its own result.
What to test first in Arundel
- Iron and manganese, since they affect which arsenic treatment works
- Bacteria and nitrate, a baseline for any private well
- A repeat test after any pump replacement or well work
How it works
How we handle arsenic removal systems, step by step
- 1
Confirm and identify
No treatment is chosen until we know how much arsenic there is and what form it takes. Iron, pH and other minerals in the same sample are part of that decision.
- 2
Choose the method
The design may be a media tank alone or one preceded by a filter that handles iron or sediment. The choice rests on your water chemistry and on how much water the house uses.
- 3
Install the system
Equipment is installed on the main line after the pressure tank, with sample taps before and after so results can be checked. Shut-offs and a bypass keep the home running during service.
- 4
Retest and maintain
You leave with a simple routine: when to retest, when to change media and who to call in York County if a result drifts upward.
What shapes the job in Arundel
The chemical form of arsenic matters. Arsenic in its more oxidized form is easier to capture, and the less oxidized form may need a conversion step first. A speciation test on your Arundel water tells us which design will work.
When to think about arsenic
- A recent purchase with no arsenic result on file
- A well that has been deepened or re-drilled
- Young children or a pregnant household member in the house
- A change in water chemistry after drought or heavy use
