   Disinfection of Wells and Tubewells
   Following construction of a well and installation of the pump, or if biological pollution has entered the well, it should be disinfected immediately to kill any micro-organisms present.
   To disinfect a well/tubewell, the following procedure is recommended
   1. Dissolve 10 Aquatabs 8.68gm, in 50 litres of water in an open area.
   2. Pour half the solution into the well. Operate the pump until the water pumped out( or from all the opened taps in a household) distinctly smells of chlorine.
   3. Stop pumping and add the rest of the solution to the well.
   4. Wait one hour and pump again ( with all taps open in a household) for several minutes.
   5. Stop pumping and leave the well for twelve hours.
   6. At the end of this time pump to waste until the residual available chlorine level reaches <2mg/l.
   7. Refill the system with potable water.
