WELL SAFE WELL SANITIZER KIT
It is important to sanize a well twice a year, whether it is a new well or an exisng well. If the well has been disrupted for
service or repair, it is a must that it be sanized. The well storage tank, pipelines, and fixtures should be rinsed with a strong saniz-
ing soluon to kill all harmful pollutants.
The Well Sanizer Kit can be used for well, storage tank, or cistern sanitaon. The amount of tablets and granules used
will depend on the amount of water in the system to be sanized. Half of the total treatment will be completed with chlorine
pellets and the other half will be completed with granular chlorine slurry. A 100-ppm chlorine concentraon is ideal for sanizing
a well. To produce a 100-ppm chlorine concentraon, use 2 oz. sanizer pellets or granules for each 100 gallons of water in the
system. (2oz. granules = 56 Pellets) If the water has a high iron or sulfur content more chlorine may be needed to achieve 100-ppm
chlorine residual.
WELL SANITIZING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Bypass the water soener, other filters, or purificaon equipment.
2. Remove the cap or seal from the casing and, if possible, measure the depth of water in the well, then refer to the table below to
determine how much sanizer should be used. In some instances removing the seal to measure the water can be a difficult task. It
may be easier to esmate well and water depth from well log or other records. As a general rule, it is beer to use too much
sanizer than too lile. If too much sanizer is used, it will simply take longer for the taste and odor to leave the system.
3. Use a pipe to get by any restricon in the well, a 10’ length of 3/4” PVC is usually ideal. (If it is not possible to remove the well cap,
remove vent or sanitaon plug.)
4. Drop one tablet into the well and listen to hear if the tablet hits the water (you will hear a “plink” sound). If the tablet hits the
water, drop the remaining determined number of sanizing tablets needed into the well.
5. Mix the determined amount of granules needed in a clean, plasc five (5) gallon container of water and pour the soluon down
the well to sanize the upper poron of the well.
Do not add water to product – Add product to water.
6. It is necessary to circulate the water in the well to mix the sanizer thoroughly throughout the enre water system. Connect a hose
to an outside silcock that is located aer the pressure tank and run water back down the well (this also rinses upper poron of
well). Aer approximately 15 minutes of circulang the water, a strong chlorine odor should be present; if not, repeat steps 4 and
5. Run water through service lines unl you detect chlorine odor at all taps.
7. Allow the sanized water to stand in the system for at least six (6) hours, although overnight is preferred. Open an outside faucet
and flush system unl water runs chlorine free (no chlorine smell is detected). Repeat flush operaon on each faucet in the system.
Do not run high levels of chlorine into sepc system.
8. Return all equipment to service posion.
9. The water should be tested 2 to 3 weeks aer sanizing. If bacteria, iron bacteria, sulfur, or other problems recur, contact your
water professional for further treatment.
Note:
A) Naturally occurring iron, manganese, slime and organic material may break loose and can make the water run slightly to very
discolored. Run outside facet unl water runs clear and free of chlorine as described in step 7.
B) In rare instances, wells with large amounts of buildup or oxidized parculates may break loose and plug screen. If water flow is
reduced, switch the power off to the well pump and allow the well pump‘s screen to clear. Aer a few minutes resume pumping.
Repeat as necessary.
***DO NOT CONTINUE TO RUN THE WELL PUMP IF WATER DOES NOT FLOW. ***
C) The high level of chlorine required to sanize a water system is corrosive to most metals and the chlorine soluon must not remain
in the water system more than thirty-six (36) hours before completely flushing from the system.
