That is suppose to be all clickable, how do I fix it?

some forum softwares don't like spaces and space substitution characters that servers have no problem with.
sometimes it's easier to just cut and paste
 
lp,
It's called "disinfecting your well and can be done anually or so but is a bit of work.
I use a gallon or so in my well.
Be advised that the bleach will shut down the enzimes in your septic system so you want to drain it off away from your septic system.
I usually take the one farthest away and run draining outside until no bleach is smelled.
Then go back thru each faucet and pull water until no bleach is smelled.
Seems like mine only gets done every couple of years.
The info that i got after looking around was to pull that sacrificial rod out.
Not sure if this may cause problems but has been fine for 3 or 4 years now.
Draining your hot water tank anually is good for it (to flush it out) as well.
Most of this info came from the local county extention and seemed to work fine for me.
Smell went away and has stayed away.
Good luck with this
