In this episode, I talk about how to set up a well water chlorination system and a lot more…
I’m Gerry Bulfin, a water treatment contractor and WQA certified Master Water Specialist.
Today I talk about home well water chlorination system and how, why, and when you should use one in your well water system. I go over questions you should ask before using a chlorinator and then explain how to safely chlorinate your water.
What you will hear in this episode:
1. Deciding on whether to use a well water chlorination system when your water is high in iron, manganese, sulphur odor or especially if you have a combination of those
2. What system to use in treating coliform bacteria in water
3. How to set up a chlorinator system
4. When and how to use UV sterilizers
5. What is a good alternative to chlorination
6. UV rays need to penetrate the water to disinfect it. What to do to make the water fit for UV sterilization
7. Hydrogen Peroxide compared with chlorine in disinfecting residential well waters.
8. Why chlorination is most effective against bacteria
9. What to do after chlorination to completely remove the chlorine from disinfected water
10. When does chlorine become ineffective in disinfecting the water?
11. What is the right amount of chlorine to inject and at what rate?
12. Should you get a solid pellet chlorinator or a liquid chlorinator?
13. What to do when your well is 400 feet deep but your pump is only 300 feet.
14. How to figure out how much chlorine to add to the water or estimating the chlorine demand in the water.
15. The ideal should be that the chlorine residual should be very tiny or none.
16. When chlorine is added to the water, it not only reacts with bacteria but also with other impurities such as hydrosulphite, soluble metals, iron and manganese particles, organic matter, and micro-organisms.
17. Adding chlorine to counteract the oxides iron, manganese, hydrosulphite
18. The more you use the water in the house in order to maintain a constant pressure, you get more or less flow.
If you find the information here helpful, please share it with your friends:
1. It’s really important to have a general mineral analysis of your water because you want to know what the pH of your water is and what treatment to apply.
2. The idea is with the standard chlorine system, you want to inject it into a flow rate that you know is flowing with the same amount.
3. Try to stop the bacteria at the source not at its current location.
