WATER WELL SHOCK CHLORINATION
Having a water well comes with the great responsibility of protecting one of our most precious natural resources. Your water well is the most valuable asset on your property, and it does require a commitment to maintenance. For most, as long as the tap is running, the end-user often has an unknown responsibility for their well. If a well is properly maintained, the maintenance history can be provided upon resale of the property to prove your commitment to retaining your well as an asset.
Did you know Alberta Environment recommends shock chlorinating your water well about once a year?
Shock chlorination is a relatively inexpensive and straightforward procedure used to control bacteria in water wells. Shocking your well can help with staining plumbing fixtures and laundry plugged water treatment equipment, "rotten egg" smell, as well as it's the most effective way at getting rid of bacteria while it is Ecoli or coliforms.
Shock chlorination is performed by mixing a large amount of sodium hypochlorite into the water, waiting 24 hours then flushing your system. The water should not be used during this time.
We work with Alberta Environment’s guidelines for shock chlorination to create a maintenance program to provide our customers, whether residential, agricultural or commercial with a service that is turn-key in the industry.
We specialize in performing maintenance and rehabilitation on water wells in an effort to promote general water well health.
