Since 'Wells' have been mentioned, it made me think of a question I'd
been meaning to ask. A friend bought a place with a well and she says
they can't drink it, as it has Giardia in it. They found that out
after the entire family got very sick, and it was recommended by their
doctor to check their well water.
Anyone know if C/S has been used by someone for this purpose and if it
worked. She's been told to use chlorine in the water, but
even that takes so darned long to take out of the water and I don't
know how long it actually stays in the well. They tried that a long
time ago, but the Giardia just came back.
Any tips, hints, etc. I don't mind her coming over and filling jugs
w/well water from here, but what a pain in the XXX for her to do on a
daily basis. There has to be a better way.

Hi Ken; we had this problem with the iron bacteria where I used to
live. Since it was necessary to pump the water 280 feet plus vertical
to the storage tank for the uphill people on the spring, I rigged a
spray (smashed 1/4" copper tube end, creative vise-gripping) from the
output side back into the spring. This broke up the colonies, stirred
and aereated the spring water, and worked pretty well as long as the
copper tube end was reworked every coupla weeks; it tended to plug up
otherwise. Previous water-lackey had used bleach once a week, which
would turn Kool-aid absolutely clear in about 5 minutes for the next
day. I think your air injection would work very well.
Take care, Malcolm

Not quite as mixed up as somewhat ignorant.
I have only observations to go by as any info I've found on the
subject
starts at chlorine injection and ends with 'Pay me for chemicals and
equipment while you deal with chemicals in your water that are worse
than
the bacteria'
Thanks Dude!
The majority of minerals in this area are red clay [iron], quartz and
chist [sedimentary]
BTW, since dumping a gallon of CS into the well, the majority oof
deposits
left over from boiling have changed from red to mostly white [calcium
probably] as it was before the rock quarry [granite] re-opened.
I'm a little concerned about what's going on in the septic tank with
all
that CS in the water.
The change may have something to do with how cold it is lately too.
Do you think that bubbling air through the water while it's in the
well
will take the bacterium out of the cycle? 129 PSI is fairly easily
do-able.
