My wife and I moved to Rosebery British Columbia in the summer of 2007. Our property was not previously occupied and as such required a well. After six months my wife and I noticed a thick rust colored slime very prevalent in all the toilet tanks in the house. Speaking with neighbors we found that two other wells in our immediate area suffered from the same or similar type of slime. These two other households had such significant slime buildup that, in both cases, the slime caused several water pumps to fail and subsequently had to be replaced. The wells in both households were less than one year old at the time. Naturally this caused us concern so we tried shocking the well using chlorine bleach. This effort failed. The bleach had, in fact, no impact whatsoever. After speaking with Biostel we decided to try your product and to our amazement, one application killed off the slime. Our water was drinkable within an hour or so and had no after taste as is the case with chlorine bleach.

My wife and I first want to thank you for an excellent product. This product quickly killed a type of slime bacteria in our water system where conventional shocking of our well with chlorine bleach had no effect. One application was all that was needed. Two months after application we had the water tested though a Provincial laboratory and the results were negative for any and all types of bacteria. To date, eight months have passed and we are still free of slime and there are no indications that this bacteria has returned. We will be making this product a part of a twelve month house maintenance schedule.

We were introduced to Biostel Water Services via our new neighbor from Alberta, who so it happens, is part of the company. We built a new house, and also drilled a new water well; but quickly saw a clear (slight redish tinge) gel building up in our toilet tanks. Even worse, over the first two years we had to replace 3 down hole pumps. Each time we improved the quality of the pump, but we think that the severity of the slime bacteria was increasing over time, as the slime build up on the pump was growing bigger. We replaced the last pump in April of 2006. When we pulled this pump out there was a bag of clear(ish) Gel 6 feet long hanging off of the pump. The pump intake was sealed over with this gel and we are sure the pump burned out for lack of cooling water going through it.

In a casual conversation with our new neighbor in July of 2006, we learned of the Biostel treatment and treated our well immediately. Because of the long hauling distance to Alberta we did not do a full volume treatment, but have done maintenance treatments each summer since. In 2008 we decided to pull our pump before the treatment, just to see how much slime had built up. To our surprise the pump showed absolutely bare metal, not one bit of slime on it.

This is the only “well treatment” that I have heard of, that actually does work 100%, and we have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone.
