We just moved out into the country for the first time and we may have made a big mistake. Instead of pouring straight liquid bleach down our well to shock sanitize it, we unwittingly poured laundry bleach (kind of a semi gel) down the well head and now the water pressure in the house is very weak. I’m crossing my fingers and praying that the system is just clogged and the gel will eventually dissolve and clear itself out. But a local plumber was making me feel pretty stupid for what we did and said we may have burned the pump up when it tried to suck up that bleach gel. He said to not use the water for at least a day before running it again. I shut the breaker switch off for the well so as not to be tempted to use any water. Any ideas on what may have happened and what to do about it, and how to remedy? Thanks in advance
