Can't Smell Bleach After Shocking Well

It should be allowed to sit for 24 hrs after which a hose should be connected and allowed to run for 15 minutes per hour to prevent the well from running dry.

Can't smell bleach after shocking well. Since then water supply has picked up the bleach smell is gone but water flow. When the house was completed last week I was told to shock the well with bleach before using the water. Connect a garden hose to a nearby faucet and wash down the inside of the well.

Let the chlorine sit in the well for an hour. And turn on both hot and cold water all the way until you either smell chlorine. I think trying to run water through each fixture is a good idea.

Pour the bleach into the well. The next day after letting the water run for a couple of hours the water coming out was orange-brown in colour. The procedure is to simply dump bleach down the well.

I think shocking is often done with stronger hypochlorite solution. My well is 280 feet deep and including the inflow from the water table takes an hour to chlorinate so If you cant smell bleach coming out of the spigot you have either not put enough in there. Let the bleach sit for 12 hours once the smell was strong in all taps then tried to flush out all bleach with the garden hose.

Turn off the cold water and let the hot water. Once you smell chlorine. Open each faucet and let the water run until a strong chlorine odor is detected then turn it off and go to the next one.

Measure the well depth and the static or resting water level then calculate the depth of the water in the well using the following formula. Let your chlorinated water sit in the well system for a minimum of 6 hours. Bob shocking the well does not address suspended solids or murkiness.
