Treating Well Water

Do you have a well for your domestic water use?
If you have ever had to replace your submersible
pump, you are aware that health regulations require
the technician to 'shock' the well with at least one
gallon of chlorine bleach at the end of the process.

While chlorine is a great disinfectant and has saved
millions of lives over the years, it has also contributed
to many adverse health conditions. The break-down
products of both chlorine and chloramine(becoming
more popular with municipalities because it is cheaper
and more stable) are known to be cancer-causing.

So, similarly, if you have had your well 'shocked' to
avoid the possibility of bacterial contamination, you
now have chlorine in the water, and it tastes terrible
and is not good for you either.

Here is a simple fix: treat your well with just one
pound of vitamin C, premixed into as much water
(a five-gallon bucket of warm water would be great)
as you can reasonably handle. Let that diluted vitamin
C set in the well overnight, and then run your faucets
until you do not detect any odor of chlorine.

Vitamin C converts chlorine into harmless chloride
molecules, which can vary depending on which minerals
you have in your well water. But be assured, vitamin
C changes the chlorine, it does not just mask the odor
or flavor.

This principle applies to chlorinated water wherever
you go, as I have written previously: just a squeeze of
lemon in a glass of tap water is enough to protect you
from the harmful effects of chlorine.

We do have 1-pound and 2-pound pouches of vitamin
C available for a very low price($12.95/lb) on our website.
Look for "water distillers", click, and scroll down to
the listing 'Water Residue Cleaner', which is 100%
food-grade vitamin C.
