Selenium in Chapel Hill Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of Selenium in the Water Supply of Chapel Hill Florida Homes

Selenium is a naturally occurring element that can dissolve into water from certain soils and rocks or enter waterways through nearby agricultural or industrial activity. While small amounts are part of a normal diet, household water isn’t a controlled source, so elevated levels can be a worry for Chapel Hill homeowners. You won’t be able to see or taste selenium in your water, so testing is the only reliable way to know whether it’s present — and if results indicate higher levels, choosing the right treatment is the next step.

Selenium can exist in several chemical forms in water, and some forms are more difficult to remove than others. Typical whole-house systems that focus on chlorine, odor, or sediment won’t necessarily reduce dissolved contaminants like selenium. That’s why we start by reviewing your water chemistry — even in Chapel Hill’s humid subtropical area — and then select media and technology that match the specific challenge. With the correct system in place, you can lower selenium throughout your home for drinking, cooking, bathing, and laundry.
