Well Water Treatment

Some symptoms of bacteria in the well are slimy buildup and unpleasant "swampy" taste or smell. It is important to have your well tested for bacteria by a professional lab. Well water with bacteria such as Iron or Sulfur Bacteria can be trickier to treat than standard contaminants. A well shock treatment is usually enough to completely disinfect the well and kill the bacteria for good. Sometimes, though, you'll need to shock the well a couple of times to completely get rid of it. If the bacteria is recurrent and is not removed with shock treatments, consistent bacteria removal is required.

The most common way to treat recurrent bacteria is chemical injection. Most commonly chlorine or hydrogen peroxide injection, the chemicals kill bacteria and oxidize iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide.
