We are selling our house and the realtor recommended that we disinfect the well prior to any showings and inspections. Last Monday (9/21) we pour 1 1/2 gallons of bleach down the well and ran the water afterward until we smelled the bleach. Let the system sit overnight and then began the flushing process the next day.
While flushing the water turned very reddish brown and had some sediment in it. The water has been slowly clearing since then, but seems to have stalled and still has a very slight cloudiness to it. There is not any sediment in anymore. I have been flushing it for a few hours a day and it won't clear up completely. Usually when I first start to flush the water, it is almost clear and then begins to cloud up slightly the longer I flush it.
The well is about 150' deep and we have never had any issues in the past. Any tips on how to clear the water up? Thanks
