Importance of Sanitizing Home Water System

There is no doubt that water has a major impact on our lives. It is also rightly said that high-quality is very important for every activity of human life. If we are provided with high-quality water in the right quantity, we can lead a healthy and prosperous life. So it is our responsibility to sanitize home water system periodically.

It is important for you to sanitize water in order to prevent the spread of bacteria and virus which can cause a gamut of diseases.

Process of Sanitizing Home Water System

If you are convinced with the benefits of sanitizing your home water system, you must understand the process. The most common method used for sanitation is shock-chlorination. In this process, you clean and disinfect your water wells with chlorine. This process is recommended by experts for treating and preventing bacterial contamination in home water systems for instance wells, springs, and cisterns.

If you are using this method, you must take certain precautions. Make sure that you have informed every family member about the chlorination process so that no one uses water during that time.

Before sanitizing your home water system, remove all debris from your well house. After this, make a chlorine solution from:

  •  1/2 gallon chlorine bleach
  • 5 gallons clean water

Scrub this solution to the accessible interior wall surface. Once you have scrubbed the surface, pour a few drops of chlorine into the well or tank. Modify the amount of drops according to the amount of water. You are required to leave chlorine into your water system for twelve to twenty-four hours. After the waiting period, turn on the nearest faucet and allow the water to run. After a few minutes, you will detect a strong chlorine odor from the faucet. Turn off this faucet and move to the next one. Repeat this process until you are done with all faucets in your home. During the waiting period, do not use water for drinking purposes.
