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 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.
