Testing For Bacteria In Drinking Water
This is a common test that is performed as part of a real estate transaction when a home is serviced by well water. To find out more about bacteria in drinking water follow the link below
Shocking A Well
If your water test should fail you most likely will be advised to " Shock " your well.
Shock chlorination is the process by which home water systems such as wells, springs, and cisterns are disinfected using household liquid bleach (or chlorine). Shock chlorination is the most widely recommended means of treating bacterial contamination in home water systems
