Choosing a jet pump for a groundwater well requires considering several factors to ensure efficient water delivery. Here's a step-by-step guide: 1. Determine Well Depth - Shallow Well (Less than 25 feet deep): A shallow well jet pump is suitable. It uses a single pipe to draw water. - Deep Well (25....

Using compressed air to clean a groundwater well is an effective method to remove debris, sediment, biofilm, and mineral buildup. This process, known as air surging or airlifting, can help restore well performance and improve water quality. Here’s how to do it safely and effectively:

1. Gather Equipment
Air Compressor (capable of producing at least 100 PSI and a sufficient CFM for well depth)
Air Hose and Pipe (1-2 inch diameter, long enough to reach the well bottom)
Safety Gear (gloves, eye protection, hearing protection)
Well Cap Removal Tools (wrench, pliers)
Water Pump (optional) (to help remove loosened debris)

2. Prepare the Well
- Shut off the well pump and disconnect power.
- Remove the well cap and check for obstructions.
- Measure the well depth and water level to determine the correct pipe length.

3. Insert the Air Pipe
-Add the recommended cleaning treatment to the well e.g. BoreSaver Ultra C
- Lower the air pipe (or hose) to just above the bottom of the well.
- If the well has heavy sediment, position the pipe slightly higher to avoid clogging.

4. Begin Airlifting
- Connect the air hose to the compressor and slowly introduce compressed air.
- The air will create bubbles, lifting debris and water to the surface.
- Alternate between short bursts and steady airflow to agitate sediment and loosen buildup.
- If water becomes cloudy, continue until it clears.

5. Flushing the Well
- Remove the air hose and allow the well to settle.
- Pump out any remaining cloudy water until it runs clear.
- Reinstall the well cap and restore power to the pump.

6. Post-Cleaning Testing
- Run the well for a few hours to ensure proper function.
- Test water quality for clarity, bacteria, and mineral content.

Safety Tips
- Avoid excessive air pressure to prevent well casing damage.
- Work in a well-ventilated area to avoid confined space hazards.
- If the well is very deep or complex, consider hiring a professional.

IronKleen Bore Stain Remover is designed to remove iron and bore water stains from surfaces like walls, driveways, and fences. Here’s the best way to use it effectively on walls:

Materials Needed:
1. IronKleen Bore Stain Remover
2. Spray bottle or garden sprayer
3. broom (for stubborn stains)
4. Hose or pressure washer
5. Gloves & safety glasses (for protection)

Step-by-Step Application:
1. Prepare the Surface
- If the wall is dusty or dirty, give it a quick rinse with water to remove loose debris.

2. Dilute (if necessary)
- Check the instructions and dilute with water if required. 1 lt IronKleen to 200 ml water max dilution

3. Apply the Solution
- Spray the IronKleen solution directly onto the stained area using a spray bottle or garden sprayer.
- Make sure the surface is evenly covered.

4. Let it Sit
- Allow the solution to work for 5–10 minutes (or as per the instructions). Avoid letting it dry completely.

5. Scrubbing won’t be needed
- For stubborn stains, gently apply a second coat of IronKleen with a brush or broom.

6. Rinse Thoroughly
- Use a hose or pressure washer to rinse the wall well.
- If stains persist, repeat the process.

Extra Tips:
- Apply on a cool, overcast day or in the early morning/evening to prevent quick evaporation.
- If cleaning near plants, wet them first and rinse afterward to minimize chemical absorption.
- Test a small hidden area firstto ensure it doesn’t affect the surface color.
