In theory you're right but not in my rather extensive bacteria remediation experience.Mixing soda ash with chlorine to raise ph works very well and its done all the time with great success.
Removing anything that is sitting at the bottom of a well that is causing a bacteria problem by flushing with a tremi pipe, and mixing the right amount of chlorine mixture for the depth and diameter of a well, will get rid of the source. By repairing any openings in the casing and by replacing non sanitary well caps, will also prevent bacteria from getting in the well by not allowing dirt and critters from entering. Raisng the top of well casing so surface water does not enter the well also gets rid of the source.

In your short time doing water treatment, how many Coliform bacteria contaminated wells have you treated?
