How to fill out disinfection of contaminated wells

How to fill out disinfection of contaminated wells:

1. Gather necessary materials: You will need a disinfectant solution such as chlorine bleach or hydrogen peroxide, protective gear (gloves, goggles, and a mask), a well disinfection kit (if available), and a pump or other means to circulate the disinfectant.
2. Prepare the well: Turn off the power supply to the well pump and open the well cover or cap. If there is excessive debris or sediment, it should be removed using a bucket or other suitable tool.
3. Measure the volume of the well: Determine the total volume of water in the well by measuring the depth and diameter or circumference. This will help calculate the appropriate amount of disinfectant needed.
4. Dilute the disinfectant: Follow the instructions provided with the disinfectant solution or the well disinfection kit to prepare the disinfectant according to the specified dilution ratio.
5. Add the disinfectant: Slowly pour the disinfectant into the well, ensuring that it reaches all areas of the well water. If using a pump, circulate the disinfectant by running it for several minutes to ensure proper mixing.
6. Allow contact time: Keep the disinfectant in the well for the specified contact time provided with the disinfectant or well disinfection kit. This allows the disinfectant to effectively kill any contaminants present.
7. Flush the system: After the contact time has passed, turn on an outside faucet or a nearby hose and allow the water to run until the smell of the disinfectant diminishes. This will indicate that the well has been properly flushed.
8. Test the water: Once the disinfection process is complete, it is recommended to test the water to ensure its safety. Contact a local water testing facility to collect a sample and analyze it for any remaining contaminants.
