Why Disinfecting Well Water Matters

While groundwater is generally safe, there are situations where disinfecting well water becomes necessary—especially after pump repair, flooding, or signs of bacteria. Many homeowners don’t realize that waterborne illnesses can take months or years to show symptoms. That’s why well water treatment is more than just maintenance—it’s a safeguard for your family’s health. We use chlorine disinfection methods that are approved, effective, and scaled precisely to your well’s depth and volume. Whether you’re dealing with odor, bacteria, or annual maintenance, we’ll help you restore peace of mind and clean water to your home.

Common reasons to chlorinate your well:

  • After pump installation or repair
  • If water has odor or discoloration
  • Twice annually as preventative care

Directions for Disinfecting a Home Well in New Jersey

In New Jersey, bacterial contamination is a common issue in well water. Since testing for every type of bacteria is difficult, the presence of coliform bacteria—organisms found in the intestines of warm-blooded animals—is used as an indicator of contamination. If coliforms are detected, the well water is considered unsafe and should be disinfected. The State of New Jersey, in partnership with Rutgers Cooperative Extension, has published clear guidelines on how to safely disinfect a private well.
