1. Dry, pelletized acid that sinks in water for cleaning wells
2. Cleans calcium and magnesium carbonate scale, iron deposits and moderate biological growth
3. Contains color indicator to allow visual monitoring of pH during treatment
4. Can be poured directly into the well without dangerous splashing vapors, as with hydrochloric acid
5. Easy to use and transport
6. NSF certified for potable water well use

Dosage Guide

Example

Treat 12 in. well, 180 ft. TD, SWL = 40 ft.

Step 1 Static height = (180 ft. - 40 ft.) = 140 ft. 

Step 2 Amount acid = 140 ft. x 2.5 lb./ft .= 350 lbs.

Step 3 Mix 350 lbs. Nu-Well 110 granular acid with water and apply.*  

* Better results can be achieved when the total treatment volume of chemical solution is 1.5 to 2 times the static well volume (allowing for penetration into surrounding formation).
