Doherty Plumbing
Journeyman & Gas Fitter
Hey guys,
First off I would like to say I am a journeyman plumber so I am not new to this game but I must admit water quality is not one of my strong points! So here I am!
I got called to this motel today because their well water smells like sulpher. Right away I knew that a carbon filter would fix this problem. However are their any other alternative methods to solve this problem?
I did some research online and found that I could basically flush the system out with chlorine. This sounds like a simple method however being in a motel I am concerned about the health aspects of doing this method. If it was a residential house I would have no problems suggesting this to the owner. But being a motel I think it could get ugly because we'd probably have to get the Health Authority involved etc etc.
Does anyone have any ideas?
