[AT] OT - Shocking a well

[Mogrits]

Neither iron nor sulphur are bacteria or benefit from "shocking". Last time we shocked a well it had coliform and we used a clorox solution. Iron needs a filtration system and I suspect sulphur needs even more sphisticated filtration.

>Does anyone on the list have any experience shocking a water well. We moved into a house that is in an area known for high iron content in the water. When we run the water, especially in a run that hasn't been run in a while, we get a rotten egg odor. I suspect iron or sulpher bacteria and would like to try disinfecting the well. Any tips would be appreciated.
