    Shocked well, didn't flush.

    Someone in the household who was visiting and trying to help, shocked our 60 ft well by pouring a bottle of household bleach down the well cap, and left it there. We didn't flush it out. We also have a UV system that was not bypassed. I'm wondering how likely it is this amount of bleach would...

    Chlorine adding to well water.

    So after some research I decided it was best to add chlorine to my water for algae issues. I think maybe I added a little too much compared to what I read. I can smell just a little chlorine in my water when taking a shower or whatever it be. Should I worry? The smell isn't overpowering. I just...

    Old style well not pressurizing, trouble getting water

    So let me start from the beginning and get out everything I can tell you about this. Sorry if it gets long but I want to be complete as possible. So I have a 200 year old house.

    Odd vibration from well pipe with power off

    Hello all. Is there any reason why the pipe going into the house from a submersible well pump would be vibrating slightly when the power is off? Vibrating enough that you can hear the humming of the vibration in the tank? I shut off the well pump breaker to diagnose something (and even...

    Dug well - pressure drops to zero within minutes. Any thoughts?

    Drain Welll Tank annually?

    I have a well and 4 year old tank. We tend to get a fair amount of sediment in our lines and the water is mildly hard. Should I be draining the tank periodically? Should I drain the electric water heater as well? If so, how often should this be done, and any special procedure to use
