Not for bacteria.

It has to be done in a lab.

Most county health departments will give you sample bottles and you just mail them in.

I keep test bottles here but, I am in Michigan.:) :)

Call your county and ask!!!

If it has a bedrock intake I could fix it with a liner in 1/2 a day.

If it is a screened well, I could fix it with a sandblocker screen in about 2 hours.

Call some drillers that know what they...

Could be, yes.

I like this forum the way it is.

Any links???

About the pump. It is not necessary to charge the pump however, if it is old think about what it would cost to take it back out later.

Just a matter of playing the odds on that one.;) ;)

In Michigan you can just go get the bottle and mail it to the lab.

Ask your health department.

I can tell you how I would liner a 5" PVC.

Take out the pump.

Blow the hole out with the air...

Yep...the state took his license.

Maybe the size of the well makes a difference. We have had great success with lining 5" PVC with 3" PVC.

There was a local area driller that was consistently 20/30 foot short on the casing.

Yes, it needs a liner. That will work.

I water well should never ever pump dirty water.

That sounds like a crock well.

Maybe this will help with terms.

Is this a crock well???

What did he do to "clean" it?? If he put acid in the well, it has possibly made a hole in the casing.

Have a well driller look at it. 40 years.....there is a possibility of a hole in the casing.


What do you mean by "cleaned out the well"??? Screen change?? How long ago???

Water wells should NEVER pump sand or any other dirt. Have a pro look at this.

How old is the well???

What kind of well and casing do you have??

Was this you that posted on Rip Off...just wondering.

You have my attention....

Take the anode out of your hot water tank.

Mine has been out for 15 years, no smell since.

Then what was the "fee" for??? Money changed hands, IMO very easy to tell what happened.

I am not surprised. Any person willing to sell their customers or pay for customers, IMO will take advantage anyway they can.

Glad to hear you got away from them.

The mobile home places...

Oh, I know what it is. And I find it disgusting.

They sold names to you. Money changed hands. No way to spin that one.

You said you paid a "finder's fee".

I would never take money for the names of my customers.
