Default Do all wells need shock treatments?

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?


Chlorine is carcinogenic.

Be careful.
