Hi Toad,
Arsenic is certainly a manageable problem. The EPA recommended level for drinking water is 10 parts per billion. However, the recommended level for bathing and other uses is 500 parts per billion. So, if you don't mind drinking water from one or two locations in the house, you can put in reverse osmosis units at those locations. If, on the other hand you want drinkable water at all locations, you would need to put in a whole house system. Often the seller will cover the cost of whatever you decide on rather than losing the deal. Talk with your real estate agent about this.
I am the Water Quality Supervisor for Gilford Well and we have installed many arsenic systems in both residential and commercial locations throughout the state. We are on the recommended list by the NH Department of Environmental Services. I would welcome the opportunity to chat with you about your options. Also, my competitors mentioned in this thread are both very reputable companies.
Thanks,
Rick
