Thanks again for tuning in to the podcast. I am Gerry Bulfin, a water treatment contractor and WQA-certified Master Water Specialist. I hope you\u2019re having a great day and that everything\u2019s going great for you and your water.<\/p>\n<p>In this podcast series, I\u2019m providing useful, easy-to-follow tips and information, mostly about well water, well water treatment systems, and how to improve the quality of your well water.<\/p>\n<h3>Free Download of Guide<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">In today\u2019s episode, we\u2019ll cover the basics of shock chlorinating and sanitizing your well, pipelines, and storage tanks.I actually have a free guide for this podcast called <em><strong>How to Shock Chlorinate<\/strong><\/em> Wells, Pipelines, Storage Tanks, and Systems.<\/span> This is an easy-to-follow guide with step-by-step lists of what to do and very useful charts to show you how much chlorine bleach pellets or powder to add based on the size and depth of your well.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m offering that free to listeners in this podcast. You can get your guide by texting the word SHOCKGUIDE, just one word, to 44222 or going to cleanwaterstore.com\/podcast. You can find it there. So text the word SHOCKGUIDE to 44222, and we\u2019ll send it to you.<\/p>\n<h2>Shock Chlorination<\/h2>\n<p>Shock chlorination means adding enough bleach\u2014either liquid sodium hypochlorite or powdered calcium hypochlorite\u2014to raise chlorine levels in your well to 200 parts per million (ppm). This high concentration kills bacteria and eliminates odors. In contrast, city water usually has only 0.2\u20132 ppm.<\/p>\n<h2>How It Works<\/h2>\n<p>To be effective, chlorine must remain in the well for 6\u201312 hours. It works best when pH is between 6 and 7.5. If your pH is too high, adding white vinegar or a food-grade acid can help bring it down. After the waiting period, test for chlorine. If you have less than 10 ppm, repeat the process.<\/p>\n<p>Chlorine gets used up by organic matter, odors, and bacteria. If chlorine levels drop too quickly, that indicates a high chlorine demand.<\/p>\n<h2>When To Shock Chlorinate<\/h2>\n<p>Shock chlorination is commonly done:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>After a new well is built<\/li>\n<li>Following repairs or equipment replacements<\/li>\n<li>If you detect odors or slime<\/li>\n<li>After flooding<\/li>\n<li>When selling or buying a home<\/li>\n<li>If coliform bacteria are found, shock chlorination is often the first step.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>DIY or Hire a Pro?<\/h2>\n<p>If your well cap has an accessible plug, you might be able to do it yourself, cautiously. Otherwise, contact a licensed well contractor. Be careful not to disassemble parts you&#8217;re unfamiliar with.<\/p>\n<h2>Watch for Sediment and Rust<\/h2>\n<p>After chlorination, you may see dark water from loosened sediment or rust. Don\u2019t let this run into softeners or septic systems. Flush through an outdoor hose until the water runs clear and chlorine-free.<\/p>\n<h2>Choosing the Right Bleach<\/h2>\n<p>Use bleach certified for potable water:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Best: Dry pellets or powdered bleach (calcium hypochlorite)<\/li>\n<li>Good: Liquid pool chlorine (10\u201312% sodium hypochlorite)<\/li>\n<li>Household bleach use plain unscented if you have to use laundry bleach<\/li>\n<li>Hydrogen peroxide is not effective for sanitizing wells.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How Much to Use<\/h2>\n<p>Use 4 oz of pellets per 100 gallons to reach the 200 ppm target. Kits often include pellets and powder. Refer to your well log for depth and volume, or use online tables to estimate chlorine needs.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cleanwaterstore.com\/popular-systems\/well-safe-well-sanitizer-kit.html?category_code=\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-15096\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cleanwaterstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Copy-of-Product-Image.jpg\" alt=\"Well Safe Well Sanitizer Kit with two bottles and box packaging.

For a 4-inch well at 200 feet, that\u2019s about 600 gallons. Larger wells need more. This helps clear disinfection byproducts like trihalomethanes and reduces risks from metals like arsenic.<\/p>\n<h2>What If Bacteria Returns?<\/h2>\n<p>If coliform returns after one or two shock treatments, contamination may be ongoing. It could be from a cracked cap, poor seals, or proximity to a septic tank. Call a professional to investigate.<\/p>\n<h2>Get More Help<\/h2>\n<p>For a full guide, visit cleanwaterstore.com\/podcast and look for Episode 7. Or text SHOCKGUIDE to 44222 for a free download.
