We just purchased our first home about 6 weeks ago, I decided to pull a water sample off the well, and it came out 7 parts coliform, I retested 48 hours removing the faucet filter, and then sent it away, came back 12 parts coliform. The Health Unit here says it may be unsafe to drink.

They gave me direction to disinfect the well using Bleach. I have done so, however my problem is the water still smells very very strong of bleach two days later.

I think I may have put too much in, my question is how to I fix this problem if in fact I did, I have flushed the system for about 1 hour in total and the bleach smell is still very strong.

Thanks for any and all advice.
