Well Shock Chlorination in D Hanis, TX

Well Shock Chlorination in D Hanis, TX

Shock chlorination puts a strong dose of chlorine into the well and the entire plumbing system, holds it there, then flushes it out. It is the standard first step after a positive coliform test, after pump work, and when iron bacteria leave slimy orange buildup in the toilet tank.

D Hanis, TX Well Water Treatment performs well shock chlorination in D Hanis, TX using unscented chlorine sized to the water volume in your casing. We measure well depth and static water level, work out the gallons, and target a concentration high enough to do the job, often in the 50 to 200 ppm range depending on the problem.

The process:

1. Bypass or protect carbon filters and softener resin
2. Add chlorine and recirculate through a garden hose back into the casing
3. Open every tap until you smell chlorine
4. Let it sit, usually 12 to 24 hours
5. Flush to a safe spot away from the septic field
6. Retest for bacteria a week or two later

Shock chlorination is a cleanup, not a permanent fix. If bacteria keep coming back, the cause is usually a wellhead defect, and we will point it out.
