You should be able to do the same thing for a few dollars with Household
Bleach. I had to do the
same thing about 10 years ago.
I dont remember the exact procedure, but basically you dump a
few gallons of bleach down
the well. Then you run the water through your household pipes till you
smell the bleach coming out
the taps. Then you let it sit for several hours. Then flush it out..

Hi a friend is in the process of selling their house and in
testing the drilled 250' deep well it has come up with a higher than
acceptable level of bacteria . A well company is planning to shock
the well with Chlorine which will cost them around $300 dollars . I
wonder if there is a way that a few gallons of CS could have be
used ? . They think that the well might have got contaminated by
surface water that got in when the well head casing was damaged by
a riding lawn mower and later repaired . I checked the archives but
the post that came up about polluted wells seem to be suggesting
using some sort of water treatment filters. Anyone have
any experience using CS for this purpose? Thanks Alan
