Well Sanitizing & Disinfection Services

We Fix Water Problems – Not Everything Else

Bacteria in Your Water? You May Not Know Unless you Test.

Harmful bacteria in well water often go undetected — they have no taste, smell, or color. The only way to know for sure is through proper water testing. Left untreated, bacterial contamination can pose serious health risks to your family and lead to costly system damage over time.

At The Pump Man, we specialize in identifying and eradicating bacterial contamination through certified sanitizing and shock chlorination services. Whether it’s caused by seasonal runoff, a compromised well cap, or failed testing during a home sale, we’ll help restore your water to safe, drinkable quality — fast.

As certified well pump technicians, we not only disinfect — we also inspect and service your well system to reduce the risk of future contamination. Safe water starts with a safe system.

Call us today to schedule certified water sanitizing and keep your water clean, safe, and protected.

Common Reasons for Sanitizing Your Well:

Positive Coliform or E. coli Test
Real Estate Sale Requirements
Post-Construction or Well Work
Stromwater or Surface Water Intrusion
Seasonal Maintenance
Odors or Cloudy Water

Kappus Well Pump & Water System Services "The Pump Man" can protect families against water risks.

Our Water Sanitizing Process

Inspection – Check wellhead, cap, seals, and sanitary compliance
Shock Chlorination – Proper dosing of NSF-approved chlorine or peroxide
Circulation & Contact Time – Ensure full system disinfection (pipes, tank, lines)
Flush & Re-Test – Drain system safely and retest to confirm clean results
Optional Upgrades – Recommend UV light or filtration if needed

At The Pump Man, our goal is not just to sanitize — it’s to help prevent recontamination and protect your family’s water long-term.

⚠️ What You Need to Know:

Water sanitizing (shock chlorination) is a temporary disinfection process designed to kill existing bacteria in your well system.
There is no guarantee the bacteria won’t return once the chemical disinfection process is complete — especially if the source of contamination is ongoing or unresolved.
If repeat contamination occurs, a UV disinfection system or continuous chemical feed may be required for long-term protection.
We’ll perform a thorough inspection of your well head, seals, and plumbing system to identify any vulnerabilities — such as surface water intrusion or failed caps — that could lead to future bacterial issues.

Testing Info:

We recommend testing water before and after sanitizing.

We can help you test for:

Bacteria (coliform, E. coli) – requires a certified lab
Basic water quality – hardness, iron, pH, TDS, manganese, tannins
For certified lab work, customers may drop off samples directly at testing labs like YML Environmental in Yorktown Heights, NY.
