How deep should a well be for drinking water?

• <div><p>Wells should be at least <b>100 feet deep</b> for drinking water, but they may need to be deeper depending on the local geology, water quality, and your household’s water usage. Work with a qualified well drilling professional who can assess the appropriate depth for your well and test the water before drinking it. </p></div>

Can you shock a well yourself?

• <div><p>Yes, you can shock a well yourself, but it can be dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing. We recommend calling a pro, but if you decide to do it yourself, make sure to follow proper safety precautions. This means <b>wearing the correct safety gear, </b>such as rubber gloves, goggles, and boots. You should also <b>mix the chlorine solution in an open area</b> with plenty of ventilation. Also, make sure <b>not to drink or use the water for a few days afterward, </b>until you’ve flushed the system and retested the water.</p></div>

What are the signs that a well pump is going out?

• <div><p>Here are some <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/signs-you-may-need-new-well-pump.htm">signs of a bad well pump</a> that a pro should look at: </p><ul><li><p>If your well pump isn’t pumping water, you could have a leak or malfunctioning pump on your hands. </p></li><li><p>If your water pump runs nonstop, there might be a leak or problem with the pressure tank, which can cause the pump to fail. </p></li><li><p>Low water pressure can happen because of your pressure tank, low-water levels, or a wrong-sized pump. </p></li><li><p>Dirt or sediment in your water can be a problem with a powerful pump, damaged pump filter, or the pump’s location.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Do not hire them. Huge huge integrity issue. They came to diagnose my heat pump/ac unit figured it out. Well because I didn't hire them on, they pulled the breaker out on the outside box so my ac wouldn't work - which was working prior to them leaving. I have 2 kids just unbelievable.
