Shock chlorination is a relatively inexpensive and straightforward procedure used to control bacteria in water wells.
Many types of bacteria can contaminate wells, but the most common are iron-related (IRB) and sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB). Although not a cause of health problems in humans, these nuisance bacteria may coat the inside of the well casing, water piping and pumping equipment, creating problems such as: reduced well yield, restricted water flow in distribution lines, staining of plumbing fixtures and laundry, plugging of water treatment equipment, "rotten egg” odour; and increased corrosion of the metal parts of the well and distribution system.
