My husband who has diabetes has been getting one bacterial infection after another. We found out our well water has nitrates and bacteria in it. Could there be a connection? Our landlord has made no attemps to put a filter on our well.
yes,of course
Leaking septic systems or manure from adjacent rural properties are the two most common sources of fecal contamination of a well. The University ...
We have bacteria in our well water. How does U/V light work and is it the best treatment? If not, what is?
we have a u/v light they said it was good cuz it shocks the water and kills the bacteria before it get to us....i take it they also shocked your well with chlorine...DONOT wash colored clothes for a few days!!!it will ruin them...they told my mom it was alright to wash clothes....she ruined my new outfit...i was fit to be tied(lol)....but it is very effective and does a good job...when it needs to be changed...it will automatically beep....don't Wait too long to call them(i think you have 1 week )

i am moving into a rental property that is on a well water system. The bathtubs are orange and so is the dishwasher..I am considering treating it for bacteria. If so how do i do it and is it expensive? Thanks
The orange is rust. It comes from high iron content in the water. Iron occurs naturally in well water. It is not a sign of bacteria. It can make the water taste funny. The only way to know if bacteria is a problem is to have the water tested.

We have a dug well at the property we have our trailer at, does any one have any experience on how to fix the coliform problem in the dug well? We do not drink the water of course at this point but it would be great to get it cleaned up so we are not always have to haul water out there with us.

according to this, there's a few choices, but none of them cheap or simple..... read to the end of the article.....
A better way to ask I guess is WHAT should I add to keep the water bacteria and mold free? Are there home remedies or what is the best thing to buy to add to the water? And is using distilled water better than straight tap water?
Try Humidifier Bacteriostatic Treatment. It's made by Bemis EssickAir. It helps control Bacteria/Algae build-up, eliminates odors and is used in Evaporative Humidifiers. We use it ours.
Also, if you have hard water, you will get the white buildup from the minerals so distiller might be better in that case.
Good Luck.

Tensions Rise As Raspberry Falls Water is Contaminated Again ...
After one of the communal wells in Raspberry Falls was closed down again on Tuesday following a spike in fecal coliform bacteria—bacteria associated with human or animal waste—Supervisor Sally Kurtz (D-Catoctin) held a meeting Wednesday with residents and officials from Loudoun Water, the Loudoun County Health Department, the state health department’s Office of Drinking Water, the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and the Loudoun County planning commission.
Officials assured residents that the water that reaches their homes is perfectly safe and that the contamination was found in the community’s raw water source before it was treated.
Samples taken from Well 1 on Sunday found that levels of fecal coliform bacteria in the raw water were as high as 200 counts per 100 milliliters. It is Loudoun Water’s protocol to close the well if levels exceed 100 counts per 100 milliliters as a precautionary measure. The same well had to be shut down in May. This time around, residents were upset that during the time it took from Sunday to Tuesday to get the results back, their water was still being pumped from the well before it was turned off.
...Structured water affects bio-photons; eliminates staph bacteria ...
“Wetter” than what was coming out the showerhead only minutes before. I now understand that this feeling is what is generally referred to as “soft.” This is one indication of smaller cluster sizes and higher density and hence greater oxygen content in the water. Structured water shows great promise as a salt-less water softener. And as this missive moves along, you’ll see another area of great potential.
Another piece of evidence of higher available oxygen content in structured water is in how it affects living things that don’t have intellects and egos. Plants and animals qualify as part of that population.
A simple test was to simply take a couple of plants and water them, with tap water, and with water that has been structured. We did this with basil, actually purchasing pots and a pack of seeds, which were planted. One pot was watered with tap water and another with structured water (run through the kitchen faucet that has an under-sink unit installed).
