Well Screen Cleaning
Over time, water well screens, filter packs, and adjacent aquifer materials can accumulate a buildup of biofilm or mineral encrustations, resulting in degradation of the production. Regular water potability test, cleaning and disinfection are necessary to ensure water quality and longevity to the water supply system.
Well Disinfection
Properly constructed and maintained water well systems are designed to keep microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and protozoa from getting inside the well system and into the water. When a water test indicates the presence of microorganisms in a well, disinfection of the well system is recommended along with some level of inspection.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a water potability test?
The potability test is done to tell whether your well water is safe to drink or not by observing the presence of harmful bacteria and also viruses and chemical contaminants. The test is applied to protect your house against water borne diseases.
What is the purpose of acid cleaning in the rehabilitation of wells?
Carbonate scale and fine particles of well screens and the surrounding formations are removed through acid cleaning resulting in a higher rate of water flow and recovery. It is a process that helps in full recuperation of well performance.
What is the problem with well screens being clogged, and what is the solution?
Clogging of well screens is caused by the solidification of the minerals on the surface or biofilm accumulation on the slots and restricts the flow of water. Also, fine clay may accumulate on the screen, and silt.
Professional cleaning is one of the methods used to clear these materials in order to restore the original flow rate and well life.
When should a well be disinfected?
Should water testing show the presence of microorganism like E. coli or coliform bacteria, then disinfection of your well should be done before resumption of water.
After heavy rain or flooding, it is also recommended to be disinfected.
What is a well extension and why do we have it?
Well extension is carried out to elevate the well casing above the ground to prevent flooding and surface runoff and physical damages. This helps to avoid the surface entry of contaminants in the well.
