It depends WHY you are adding it. It must be done properly or it is pointless.

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.
How long does it take to run the bleach out of well water?
Depends how much you put in, but usually about 36 - 48 hours.
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.
How do you get rid of bleach stains on white t shirt?
A bleach stain on a White t- shirt would just make a hole ! I don't know what your talking about exactly, try soaking the t shirt for a few minutes in bleach, make sure you mix the bleach with the water well before you put your shirt in, that might be how you got 'bleach stains' in the first place (if you just poured the bleach on your shirt and didn't mix it in the water first) and follow the directions on the bottle and don't use too much bleach because that will cause the fabric to weaken and make holes.
Why does well water turn cloudy after adding bleach?
The bleach is removing contaminants and may even turn murky for a day or two, but will soon clear up.

How do you sterilize a well?
Bleach, bleach and more bleach You can't sterilize a well, you can only sterilize water that comes out of it. If the water is contaminated when it comes in, nothing you do to the well will affect the water itself, more contaminated water will enter the well.
I had to pour bleach down my well to get rid of contamination there was too much put in how do I eliminate the excess bleach that was poured down the well?
I would suggest just running your inside faucets to get rid of the bleach (it should loose it's smell) before using it for potable water, unless you have a septic system, then you probably should call a professional to help you out. Kathy, Wisconsin

If you mix a little bleach with a lot of water can it clean your system?
No, but in high concentrations it can burn your mouth, throat and esophagus, and it can make you sick as a dog. There are several urban legends about what you can use to clean illegal drugs from your system. The fact is that nothing can safely do this except time, oh and to not be foolish enough to use illegal substances (or use legal substance illegally). Especially if you are in a situation where you may be required to urinate in a cup.

How do you get the milk smell out of a metal waterbottle?
Soak the bottle overnight with hot water and a tablespoon of baking soda. If this does not work you can do the same with hot water and a teaspoon of bleach, but rinse out very well if bleach is used.
Can you use outdoor bleach to clean inside?
Outdoor bleach can be substituted for indoor bleach if necessary, but use one part bleach to 5 parts water. Outdoor bleach is more like a gel than liquid household bleach. It is designed to work best in the sun, on items like driveways or pool decks, but it can be used inside with caution. Its fumes are much stronger, so be prepared for that. Be cautious when spraying it, because even diluted it can cause bleach "burns" to fabric or other surfaces. If you are using it in the washing machine, make certain to have the bleach and water mixed well and add the solution only to the dispenser in the washer.
