We had our well guy shock our well with chlorine yesterday. Ever since, our toilets won't flush and we have dirt and murky water coming out of all the faucets. We have no hot water either! We have a tankless hot water heater and for some reason it isn't working now. It is so frustrating becuase we can't drink the cloudy water and the faucets get clogged easily. What to do??

Well that's what happens when you dump chlorine down a well. It dislodges all the rust and crap which is now plugging up your faucets and your tankless water heater. You now need to have a plumber come out and flush everything out.

tankless water heater is in trouble

that tankless heater is probably in trouble now...

you better get it flushed out before too long because
it will probably clog up completely if you do not

what you should be doing is running your outside garden faucet for a few hours water the lawn to clear up the
muck that has been dislodged..

also if you have a water softener,, the clhorine will ruin
your resin filter.... you should have that in bypass
