Our well water normally runs clear. However, this evening we performed an iron-bacteria maintenance using food grade hydrogen peroxide. After turning on all of the faucets (hot/cold) and letting the water run for about 40 minutes (working to pull the treatment into all pipes), a fine brown sediment (dirt) started coming from the faucets.
My first concern is how best to proceed in working to remove the sediment from the water pipes in the house ... also, have we pulled this sediment into the water tank and, if so, how do we work to remove it.
Secondly, I'm wondering what you feel might be the issue here. The water table is at 25 feet and our well is 150 deep ... I'm not certain how deep our pump sits.
Thank you, in advance, for your time and service in answering!
Kind regards,
Tamara
