Summer is a common time for contamination, whether from heavy rains, flooding, nearby landscaping or construction, or bacterial
growth in warm temperatures.
Our simple guide (image to the right!) will walk you through when the disinfection process is necessary—and when it’s not.
When should you disinfect your well?
- DO NOT use for regular maintenance
- After new construction or repair
- After flooding or major storms
- If harmful bacteria are found
- If the well has been abandoned or unused for extended periods.
Our videos and info sheets will guide you through the process and help you decide when to call a professional.
