Six months after drilling my well I had to replace the pump. After completing this replacement I began to notice that the water had a strong and defined smell of sour gas. I decided to have the well shocked with chlorine to see if it would improve the quality of the water. After shocking the well, and pumping it for 2 hours there was no difference in the water quality. I was also unable to drink the water for 3 days. It got that bad that when I had visitors and they used any water in the house, that it caused them to gag, the rotten egg odor was that strong.
I heard from Biostel Water Services from friends about one year after shocking the well with chlorine. I decided to treat my well with this new service available. The well was treated and pumped for 1 ½ hours. During this time, the water was being constantly tested. After this treatment the water cleared up and I was again able to use the water. There is no smell or bad taste to the water for more than 8 months.
The process used by Biostel Water Services is safe and reliable. I felt secure in using the water after the well was treated. I would highly recommend the service offered by Biostel Water Service. I will proactively treat my well every year from now on and will protect my precious water source.
