Well Disinfection & Water Quality Testing
There are many reasons a well disinfection may be necessary. Arcadia Drilling can take water samples of your well and submit to a laboratory to determine the condition of your well water. If you are obtaining a building permit the county will require water sample(s) be taken. Each county’s requirements are unique, we are happy to help ensure you get the right level of testing for your property. You may also be required to obtain water tests for loans or re-financing.
Why does your water have an odor, discoloration, or unusual taste? A water sample can tell you what bacteria or minerals may be the cause.
How do I disinfect my well? Well disinfection should only be done by a professional, do not use standard house bleach products. A professional disinfection will target and eliminate E.coli and Coliform bacteria, although it may take several rounds of disinfection. If your water test results are showing high iron bacteria a disinfection cannot completely eliminate it, but it is recommended to do once or twice a year to mitigate its over-growth.
Occasionally it is recommended to have a “Brush and bail” performed on your well. If the well is producing heavy sand, sediment, silt, scale, or iron and the pump is saturated a brush and bail will do a thorough scrubbing of the well casing and screen to improve water flow. Speak to our experts to find out if this would be recommended, a site visit will need to be scheduled to assess the well and pump first so that we can determine the right type of service.

Most Common Well Water System Component Issues
Out of Water
99% of the time when water isn’t coming out of your well it is NOT because your well is dry. The most common reasons why you might be out of water are related to a malfunctioning pump, pressure tank, control box or filterHow to Treat
Call Arcadia Drilling and schedule a service call, the licensed pump technician will troubleshoot your pressure system to see what the cause is and make the repair the same day.Clogged Filter
Your filters are designed to keep particulate matter out of the water that comes from your faucet. If the filters are doing their job, eventually they can clog up.How to Treat
Pull the filter and replace (Visit American Pump for filtration services)Bad Well Pump Control Box
Your control box is a wear part and has electrical contacts and capacitors that deal with a lot of electricity.How to Treat
Replace control box-
Pump Wire or Well Pump Down the Well
Submersible well pumps use a lot of force to pump water up through the ground and that can cause the pump to move inside your well casing. Over time the movement of your pump can cause the wire to rub on the casing and can cause the wire to short out. We would need to pull the pump out to replace the wire. If the pump is the issue (this will be tested with specific tools) they will replace the pump which also requires the entire pump, pipe and wire to be pulled out of the well.How to Treat
Pull pump and replace wire and or pump if necessary. -
Waterlogged Pressure Tank
If your tank is waterlogged, that means that there is too much water and too little air in the tank. The rubber bladder inside the tank expands and contracts to keep water and air separate inside the tank. When this bladder ruptures or a hole forms, the water and air are no longer kept separate, and the pressure inside the tank drops and causes the pump to kick on more frequently and eventually can burn up the pump if not addressed.How to Treat
Replace pressure tank.
