What process do you use to treat your water?

Try this it worked good for our well without the bleach smell. Had to use a fairly decent shot of it but been very good for a month now

We use what the local rm uses. Hydraclor 12.

Hydrogen peroxide. Cost effective in 20 litre pails. Works really well. Not corrosive like chlorine. Don't have to pump out well. No odour.

Where do you buy the peroxide?

H202 essentially water with an extra oxygen molecule. Clear tech in Regina carries it, but need to set up an account. Comes in small barrels 35% and 50% strengths. You'll know when you get it on your skin, always seems to happen. Do not get it in your eyes it can blind.

does it oxidize iron in the water?

Yes somewhat. It also unprecipitates manganese. You may get little black chunks of manganese. We put a filter inline to keep the bits out of fixtures, softener, etc.

The water is softer though. We're hoping it will improve our water quality for crop spraying as well.
