Chlorination is an effective way to treat many types of bacterium. Some bacteria, such as iron bacteria, is not harmful to humans. But it will be harmful to your water filter equipment. This type of bacteria is best treated by injecting a small solution of chlorine into the water before it goes into the filters. If you have harmful bacteria, such as E.coli or coliform, the water needs 20 minutes of contact time with the chlorine in order to effectively kill the bacteria. In order to achieve the required contact time, you will need to find your flow rate. Click here for instructions on finding your flow rate. You will need one 120 gallon retention tank for every 6 gallons per minute of flow rate. So, if your flow rate is anywhere from 1-6gpm, you need 1 retention tank. for 7-12gpm you need 2 retention tanks, for 13-18gpm you need 3 120 gallon retention tanks. And so forth.

If large numbers of coliform bacterium are found in water, there is a high probability that other pathogenic bacteria or organisms, such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium, may be present. And the PADEP requires public drinking water supplies to demonstrate the absence of total coliform per 100 ml (about 4 oz.) of drinking water. So it is up to the private well owner to purchase a bacteria water filter if their water tests show such harmful water bacteria is present.
