Understanding The Well Chlorination Process

What Is Well Chlorination?

Well chlorination is a standard maintenance procedure designed to clean private water systems. Over time, natural organic matter and mineral deposits can accumulate within the well casing, pressure tank, and home plumbing. This process involves introducing a controlled chlorine solution directly into the water system to cleanse the entire system from the source to the tap.

By circulating this solution throughout the plumbing lines, the process addresses accumulation and buildup within the well infrastructure. It is a key aspect of routine property maintenance and is highly effective for managing private water systems after construction, repairs, or long periods of inactivity.

When Is Chlorination Recommended?

Property owners typically schedule well chlorination under several specific conditions. It is standard practice immediately following any physical service or repair on the well pump, piping, or casing, as well as after the installation of a new well system. These physical disruptions can introduce external particulates that need to be addressed.

Additionally, changes in the water’s taste, odor, or appearance often indicate that a system flush and treatment are necessary. Regular testing of your water supply can help determine the most appropriate schedule for ongoing chlorination and maintenance to keep your system performing as intended.

What To Expect During The Treatment Process

Our team begins the well chlorination process by assessing your system configuration and calculating the appropriate amount of treatment solution based on the depth and volume of your well. We then carefully introduce the solution into the well casing to ensure it reaches all parts of the system.

Once the solution is introduced, we run the water through all household fixtures until a distinct chlorine scent is detected, indicating the solution has reached every part of the plumbing network. The system is then left to stand undisturbed for a designated period, typically overnight, to allow the treatment to work effectively.

After the holding period is complete, the entire system is thoroughly flushed. We discharge the treated water through external connections away from the home until the water runs clear and is completely free of any residual chlorine aroma, leaving your system ready for daily household utility.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the well chlorination process take?

The entire service typically takes about 24 hours to complete. This timeframe includes the initial application of the solution, the required contact time within the pipes, and the final flushing process.

Can I use household water during the chlorination process?

It is recommended to avoid using any water in the home while the treatment is active. This ensures the solution remains at the proper concentration throughout the plumbing system and prevents unchlorinated water from entering the lines prematurely.

How often should a well be chlorinated?

Many property owners choose to have this service performed annually as a preventive maintenance measure. It is also recommended following any major service repairs, plumbing modifications, or casing adjustments.

Will my water taste like chlorine after the service?

Once our team has fully completed the flushing process, any noticeable chlorine taste or odor should be completely gone, restoring your water to its typical state.

Is professional assistance necessary for well chlorination?

While some property owners attempt this as a DIY task, professional service ensures that the correct volume of treatment is calculated and that the entire system is flushed properly without causing damage to system components.

Good honest people that did an amazing job doing some upgrades on my well. They were extremely transparent with the price, gave me some options and explained why certain things cost the way they did. They were also very kind and showed up promptly. If you are looking to support a local business with hardworking/honest people, these are your guys.

I reached out Saturday evening regarding having no water. They came on Sunday morning to assess the well. Unfortunately for us they had to pull our pump and replace it. This was completed early on Monday! They are wonderful, respectful and very knowledgeable people. I will always use them and refer them to others when the need arises. Prompt and Courteous!

Bryce came out the morning right after i called which was an immediate relief. i was told by another plumber that i had to replace my well filter at the cost of around $3000, so i called Rudisill’s for a second opinion. So thankful that i did!! Not only was Bruce and his team respectful and thorough, but they offered a solution that saved me a couple thousand dollars. After having my home partially destroyed by Helene, i can’t express enough how happy i am to find someone who is honest, knowledgeable, and diligent finding an actual solution.

Called Bryce and told him we had no water pressure in entire house. It was determined the pressure gauge showed very low for the pressure tank. The water conditioner media had to be replaced and my water well pump had actually failed. The water pump was 17 years old and the average should last about 15 years. I am new to having a well and Bryce answered all my questions. Thanks Bryce for all your expertise.

Had a terrible windstorm that took out my well house and knocked my pressure and filtration tanks off the line breaking the plumbing, all of the plumbing needed to be replaced. These guys were super responsive and professional, and were able to get out to my house the same day that I called, they kept everything nice and tidy and got the job done within a few hours. I know it's hard to find reliable and affordable help in these types of situations, but everything went really smoothly. If I need well service in the future I will definitely be using them again!

I called them and spoke them about what was going on and had to talk to my wife about the possible causes of my problem. He was very knowledgeable. I got back with them next morning about coming out to look at my pressure tank and switch from my well. He was able to come that same day and got the problem figured out and fixed within a few hours for hundreds less than any other company. I will be using these guys for any well or plumbing issues in the future! Great guys great company! Let’s make them the first call for Asheville.

Bryce was the third well pump repair guy that I called. The first guy went to voicemail. The second guy said he "might" be able to diagnose my problem in 24 hours. Bryce immediately answered the phone at 8:30 pm, and by 9:15 pm, he was at my house. He and Andrew clearly diagnosed the dead main well pump and had it completely replaced and operational by the following afternoon. His prompt communication, reasonable pricing, and pure honesty are what most impressed me. Go with Bryce Rudisill!

Bryce was incredibly responsive. He was the first to come out to my home and review the best solution for a water softener with the issues I presented. I interviewed 5 folks and he was who I went with. He was professional, courteous and did a great job installing my water system. I would definitely recommend him.
