[AT] OT - Shocking a well

[Rob Wilson]

I forgot. Get a whole house filter that has a 5 micron filter in it. I use
one that is for commercial use by Ametek I believe. About 20 inches long as
it won't reduce your pressure. Most precipitated iron is larger than 5
microns.

Subject: [AT] OT - Shocking a well

Hi All,
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.
Thanks,
Mike M
