Has anyone ever heard of dumping a bottle of bleach into your well?
We have a well that was closed up, but not capped off, around 15 years ago. See picture. We are hoping to be able to put it back into service again for the new house without having to drill a new one $$$$. We have talked to the well guy who says he can bring it up to code etc. as long as the water and flow test OK. Since it was never capped, someone from work suggested pouring a bottle of Clorox bleach in to kill any cooties before having the water tested. Any pros and cons to this idea? I can't see any harm in it....
