[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3242255, member: 5412"] According to the DEQ, with a well casing of 6", put 6 oz of bleach into the casing with our shallow well, then run a hose from the pump back into the well to recirculate the mix for a couple of hours. Run the well to the house opening one faucet at a time until the bleach smell comes through, and then move to the next faucet and repeat until all faucets have bleach smell. Let set for a minimum of 2 hours, then open the faucets and let them run until the bleach smell goes away. Since ours was so contaminated by being underwater for 6 days, I put in one gallon one day and another gallon the next day then circulated. Got the smell at the faucets and let them sit overnight. Then I used the outside hydrant to flush the line that is 3/10 mile long. We have a septic system so that much bleach into it would have killed all the microbes and bacteria that make the septic system percolate. My comment about having a lot of new white clothes was a joke. We didn't wash anything until the chlorine bleach smell left the faucets. [/QUOTE]
