how much does it cost to maintain well water clean?

Answer 1

Your well water may never be "clean" as it comes from multiple sources and may be consistanly refreshed. In the olden days people would put a gallon of bleach in there and wait a few days. Now I would probably do a ph test or have someone test the water to determine cleanliness. You could always boil it for 5 minutes before use.

Answer 2

first thing you need to do is get a sample of the water and have it tested for impurities ..then you can decide on what to do about it after that ...if water has no impurities but minerals then a salt filter may be all you need ...if there is a some kind of bacteria in it then you will need to add a chlorinator which will put diluted bleach directly into water system or well every time when pump comes on...a chlorinator uses one part bleach to four parts water to do this but it pumps a very small amount in the system each time the pump comes on ...usually just a couple of c.c.s of mixture...the cost of this is minimal as is a salt filter.... for the only major cost is the purchase of salt and a tank of salt might last a couple of months at a time ..this varies depending on how often your salt filter would backwash..some wells dont require anything to maintain the water purity

Answer 3

?? Water coming out of a well is normally clean, it doesn't need treating. If it has become contaminated, say from surface contamination (flooding), it can be cleaned by pouring in chlorine bleach, letting it sit and then pumping it all back out.

If you need to treat your water after it comes out of the well, say because it is salty, it can be costly to treat and wasteful. For example from osmosis filters you lose more water than you actually use. You'll need to consult a water specialist if your water needs treatments.

Answer 4

nada, as long as the screen is in good condition. There are
"machines ?" on the market to make water softer or remove
some of the minerals. Otherwise, your well is either clean or
it isn't. New wells usually have disinfectant run through them
to kill any nasty stuff in the pipes/lines.

to many answers for this it all depends on what type of problem you have
