Coliform bacteria is a non-harmful bacteria family that is easily detected in water. Labs test for it as an indicator bacteria. If Coliform bacteria is present, then they know there has been some type of intrusion into the well. If coliform bacteria are present then there is the possibility of a harmful bacteria’s presence. Because of this possibility, the well should be shock chlorinated by a professional. We do, however, provide our customers with a detailed, easy to follow, set of instructions if you wish to tackle shock chlorination on your own. Just contact us.
