Default Do all wells need shock treatments?

Do you notice anything different about your water (ie.
taste/coloration)?
I also had a well and we used a local water testing company every year.
They gave us a vial to fill with some simple intstructions. We filled
the vial
and ran the sample over to them. In a week or so we got a report.
If there's nothing wrong with the water then there's no need to do
anything.

This time it is the well.
She thinks we need to shock the well.

From what I have read it is only neccessary if you can see the effects

of bacteria ie. slime in the toilet tank.


Am I right in thinking that if there isn't a problem I shouldn't try to
fix it, or is it true that every well should have chlorine dumped into
it?
