Regular vs. Splash-less Chlorine for Disinfection
Did you know…when disinfecting a [private] well, use the ‘tried and true’ regular chlorine bleach (sodium hypochlorite concentration). Splash-less bleach is a little thicker than regular household bleach. It is less likely to splash, but the sodium hypochlorite concentration is only 1-5%. It isn’t strong enough to sanitize and disinfect, as the label warns.
