Iron Reducing Bacteria
We have discovered that we have Iron reducing bacteria in our new well.
We have been living in our new house for about 5 months and always had a funny smell in the cold water. A test from a lab confirmed that it was iron reducing bacteria and in high concentration 3+ out of 5. From what I've read on google this is very bad. We did bleach our well already and that lasted 2 days and the smell came back. We called Culligan and they stated that the problem could be very serious as the smell came back so quick after bleaching. My understanding is that IRB (Iron reducing bacteria) can render a well system useless very quickly. Can anyone suggest a course of action to deal with this. The builder says that its not his problem. Thanks. |
