How much bleach do you add to a well water system and how often?
Adding bleach to purify well water is perfectly normal and very effective. Bleach in controlled amounts cleans a well and pipes of impurities. If you call for a well water technician to clean your well water of bacteria he will first use chlorine (granulated bleach ) then later install a filter or UV lamp to continue the process.2 -I usually add about 2 cups of plain bleach to my well twice a year. It gets rid of the egg smell and kills bacteria. You can start with less and see if that does the trick. By the way, I used to work at a water treatment facility and had to pour pure chlorine into the system, bleach is just very diluted chlorine and is fine in low quantities.
What are the side effects of bleach added to well water?
That depends entirely on how much and what kind of bleach. A gallon of your common domestic bleach poured into a well will totally dissipate within a few hours, yet will have killed many microbes in the water. Domestic bleach is usually about 2% chlorine. When I clean a contaminated well I use 68% granulated chlorine and it kills all biological impurities, yet will disappear in about 3-4 days and cause little side effects. Naturally, people cannot drink the water during this period.
