How much bleach do you add to a well water system and how often?

Answer 1

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.

Adding bleach to a well water system typically involves pouring a half cup of bleach per 100 gallons of water into the well. This should be done annually or whenever there are signs of bacterial contamination in the water. Make sure to follow specific guidelines provided by local health authorities or a water treatment professional for accurate measurements and frequency.
