The descendant of Einstein who we bought our place from, had left the well open for rodents and frogs to jump in and said it had a bacteria problem. Duh. I mixed up a tote tank of chlorine water and dumped it in the well, flooding it over and floating any debris out. Capped it tight and kinda forgot about it for a year or so. We then pumped it a few times a day for a week and had it tested. Zero Ecoli and zero coliform. 2 years later now we still run it thru UV and filters, but it’s good water.
