How Many Ounces of Chlorine Pellets or Powder Do I Use to Sanitize My Well?

Hello,

I need to sanitize a well that is 587' deep with the static level at 210. How many 8 oz. kits or how many ounces of pellets and granules should I use to sanitize the well?

Thanks,

Just Bought a House with Very High Iron Levels

Hello,

My water analysis results are as follows:

pH: 5.5

Iron: 4.2 ppm

Manganese: 0 ppm

Hardness: 3 grains per gallon

TDS: 230 ppm

Tannin: 0 ppm

I just bought this house and the iron level is very high, I think the well has iron bacteria in it. There is orange goo inside the pipe and toilet tank, and the holding tank and hot water tank are very rusty for their ages. The sediment may come from them. My goal is to remove or reduce the iron level in the water to reduce staining and improve drinkability of that water. The well was made in 1994 and has an inside subpump, and I have very little room for a treatment system (9" x 16" x 72").  

Thanks,
