I live in central Florida and have really good well water, as surprising as that sounds. Recently I cut the One Inch PVC pipe that leads from the well to the house and noticed that the inside of the pipe was black and covered in some unknown substance that felt a little slimey, kind of like Algae or some other aquatic growth I have seen in ponds. My questions are:
The water has been tested by the state and has passed all contamination tests with the exception on Nitrates/Nitrites which were high but within tolerable legal limits. ALL Florida water is high in those areas because sand is a crappy filter. Thanks in advance!

- Is there anyway to tell what this is?
- If it's not a good thing is there any way to clean out the pipe?
- Is well water just naturally prone to such funk because it's not treated with nasty chemicals?
