Well chlorination is vital – call in an expert to do the job right

If your home or office has well water, you probably know well maintenance is critical. That includes periodic chlorination of the well.

Well chlorination is vital because the well can become contaminated with bacteria and pathogens. Well chlorination is the answer though, if it’s done wrong, it can also cause problems.

You can choose between liquid, granular or tablet chlorine. However, there is another choice, a new product called Sterilene. Though not as widely available, it mixes easily with water, has no shelf life concerns, there is no premixing required to control PH, it is non-oxidative, creates no corrosive fumes during use, is NSF 60 certified and is 200 times as effective as other forms of chlorine. It’s also competitively priced.

The next question is whether you’ll chlorinate the well yourself or call in an expert, such as the experts with McHenry Water Well & Pump. You may want to give this question serious thought. If not done properly, you could clog the intake on your well pump and damage the pit-less adapter. It’s even possible to damage your plumbing. A qualified well technician will chlorinate your well safely, properly and without causing any costly problems.

Proper well chlorination, done on a timely basis, is the best way to ensure that you have steady access to pure, clean and safe water. And, properly done, it will provide you with a well that operates at optimal condition for the long haul. Well chlorination is relatively inexpensive. It’s also imperative to avoiding unnecessary repair bills.
