Can anyone tell me how much disinfectant to use in a shock treatment of my well?. The water is 35' in a 90' well and pipe is 6". Also how to go about doing it? Thank you all in advance

It is very different chlorine than the chlorine used on potable water systems. It is dangerous stuff humnas and animals. Actually nothing but 70% chlorine 1 gram FDA approved chlorine pellets should be used but many people mistakenly think "chlorine's chlorine and more is always better". Which is wrong but look what we have going on here in this thread...
See the link at my post 11. I never said anything about throwing pool tablets down a well. There are safe ways to use calcium hypochlorite.Gary Slusser said:Sodium hypochlorite ONLY pool chlorine is way different than throwing a few 3" pool tablets down a potable water well.
