So as in choline product, just bleach? Did the smell go away? That sounds really easy and our neighbors paid someone $300 to do it last year for them... I need to do this for a living... there is good money to be had!!!

Then add 1 cup of "chlorine product" and toss it down the well. It takes very little bleach to kill bacteria. Let the well sit overnight and then do some laundry or something to use up some water the next day. Or run the hose outside, whatever you like. We never had any problems with it going to the septic field. The idea is not to kill the bacteria in the septic field (as bugs are our friends out there!! LOL).....but we never noticed a difference.....we always ran it to the field with no ill effects.
We had a few years were we would do this now and again after the run off.
