anyone used Oxy Blast in well ?

[jeanw]

read about it in Farm Show" magazine... Now they call their company puroxi... used hydrogen peroxide....
I would trust it more than putting in blankey blank chlorine bleach.....

thanks yall

I use bleach when needed. Run it through the house until I smell it in every sink and shower then let it sit in the pipes for a few hours.

I have a shallow well so I then pump the well out, let it recharge, pump it again, and then flush the house starting with running the hose to minimize the amount of bleach going into the septic.

What are you trying to accomplish?

That Puroxi site reads like an infomercial, bleach has always sold itself because it works. Plus if you do it right (Google dilution amounts) there's really not much of it there especially if you flush the system afterwards.

Save some money and buy a bag of non chlorine pool shock, I would bet the "unique blend of proprietary ingredients" is nothing more than potassium monopersulfate which is the active ingredient in non chlorine shock.

Bleach has been a tried and true method for cleaning up a well. Do as Warm in NH says. I know of a few farms that just puts a pool tablet (hockey puck sized) down in the well. Helps maintain after a good dose of bleach.

Used to be a requirement to chlorine treat irrigation wells in MN. Been a long time since I was a drillers peon. Used smaller pool pellets.

have yall read how harmful chlorine and esp chlormine is?????? no thanks

How about the brain robbing Fluorine? At least Cl will volatilize off and can be filtered if needed.

chlorine

Read Clorox blech web cite. Contains no chlorine.

Use the proper amount of chlorine and chloramine won't be an issue. Chlorine is used widely because it is safe when used properly. If it were as dangerous as some claim every person who drinks from a municipal water supply or who accidentally swallowed pool water would be dead.

I have an Oxy Blast system in my house & really like it. We have real bad Hydrogen Sulfide problem here. It's the only product I have ever seen that will fix the problem.

Chlorine has saved millions of people from dying. How many has it actually killed? I wish my well had chlorine.

Sounds like you are part of the population control experiment ! The human body produces h2o2,It builds the immune system. h2o2 is in rain water,thats why your garden grows better with rain water than municipal water. chlorine is a chemical, not good to drink this!

H202 is hydrogen peroxide. Also a poison and a chemical. Whether it is in rain water or not has nothing to do with why your garden grows better after a rain. Get a grip. Chlorine and h202 are both oxidizers.

(Suburban) slicker here weighing in-been drinking from municipal water sources for all of my 33 years. I'm still alive and have a normal amount fingers and toes, so chlorine can't be that bad...

It also produces urine.

And my garden also grows better with some poop on it.

Lots of people are sensitive to chlorine and just don't like the smell, taste, or whatever. If that is you then there are alternative oxidizers/sanitizers like hydrogen peroxide or even UV light. There are also ways to remove the chlorine from your supply after the chlorine has done its job of sanitizing.

Make no mistake, chlorine has been used as a sanitizer in drinking water supplies for over 100 years. 98% of drinking water is treated with chlorine. We do this because it makes water safe to drink.

Oh yeah, I am a civil engineer and do this chlorination thing for a living. The latest trick is to create chlorine on site from your standard table salt, NaCl. Uh oh, you mean salt has chlorine in it? Yep.

Hydrogen Peroxide is a water molecule with an extra oxygen atom ! No chemicals there. the extra oxygen is what makes it an oxidizer. It's found in all living forms, Plants & animals.

Technically nearly everything is a chemical even water.

From Wikipedia
In chemistry, a chemical substance is a form of matter that has constant chemical composition and characteristic properties.[1] It cannot be separated into components by physical separation methods, i.e. without breaking chemical bonds. It can be solid, liquid, gas, or plasma. Compare chemical compounds.

Chemical substances are often called 'pure' to set them apart from mixtures. A common example of a chemical substance is pure water; it has the same properties and the same ratio of hydrogen to oxygen whether it is isolated from a river or made in a laboratory. Other chemical substances commonly encountered in pure form are diamond (carbon), gold, table salt (sodium chloride) and refined sugar (sucrose). However, in practice, no substance is entirely pure, and chemical purity is specified according to the intended use of the chemical.

Yes, some folks confuse the word "chemical" with the much smaller category of "chemicals that I don't like since I have no idea what I'm talking about".

Hydrogen peroxide is a nasty chemical that can burn and kill a person that contacts it. It is hardly as safe as pure water with little bubbles of oxygen which is what the propaganda from some companies would like you to believe. H202 is a much stronger oxidizer than chlorine. It's a rocket fuel, a poison, etc. Like most chemicals, it is all about the concentration.

I don't know about you guys, but I steer clear of that Dihydrogen Monoxide stuff-accidental inhalation (even in small quantities) can kill you!

Funniest thing I've read here in quite a while.
