The presence of iron bacteria in water wells lead to problems such as reduced well yield and restricted water flow. The build-up of iron bacteria is red in color and weakens water pipes and stains clothes. Steelhead Ventures Ltd. in Cochrane provides iron treatment for water sources in residential and commercial properties. If you’re unsure whether your well is contaminated, examine the interior surface of your toilet’s flush tank. If you notice the presence of greasy or slimy growth, it is an indication of the presence of iron bacteria.

SHOCK CHLORINATION TREATMENT

Steelhead Ventures Ltd. provides a variety of treatments based on your requirement. The shock chlorination treatment is one such method we provide to treat iron bacteria. Through shock chlorination, we will disinfect the following for effective results:

• Entire depth of the well
• Pressure systems
• Water treatment equipment
• Formation present at the base of the well
• Distribution systems

Water is disinfected when a large volume of superchlorinated water kills the iron and sulfate-reducing bacteria. Your well will require two or three shock chlorine treatments until you visibly notice a difference. The shock chlorination procedure is a slow and complex procedure. Contact an expert from our team to help you disinfect your water wells.
