If your bacteria test results come back positive (indicating the presence of bacteria), Water-Flo will investigate the source of the contamination. In some cases, bacteria may be present due to a cracked well casing or another physical issue, which can often be repaired to prevent future contamination. A chlorine treatment of the well will eliminate any current bacteria. If no physical issues are found, the bacteria is likely caused by runoff or ground water contamination, which may be an ongoing concern.
Fortunately, bacteria in well water can be effectively treated with the installation of a cost-efficient and low-maintenance in-line ultraviolet (UV) light system. Once repairs are completed, or a UV system is installed, Water-Flo will retest your water to ensure the issue has been fully resolved.
