[QUOTE="plumber_greg, post: 824932, member: 9115"] I'd have a talk with the guy that ran the line. Sounds like when he did it he didn't seal the top of the well very good. By top I mean at least the first tile and should be the second underground around the seam. Also look for where he put the pipe in the well, what did he seal the hole with? A gallon of bleach in a 20' well is too much. More like a half pint is needed. Be sure all surface water is directed away from well, make a mound around it with dirt after sealing. You're filters probably ain't doin' much good, better sanatize it. The tests around here will only say our water is poisionus, don't drink it. Water in Mexico is bad for us also, but the Mexicians drink it with no trouble. In short, seal well at least five foot down, dam all surface water away from well, small amount of clohrine, and you'll be fine. gs [/QUOTE]
