Nu-Well 110 Granular Well Cleaner Descaler

Descale Plus Nu-Well 110 Granular is the heavy hitter in the NuWell Family; the NuWell-110 is the big brother of the best selling household well cleaner on the market, the NuWell-100. Just like the NuWell-100, this well cleaner breaks down mineral buildup at the source. Using highly concentrated acid granules the 110 cleans the entire well in contact with standing water. Unlike muriatic acid, which eats metal and over time destroys your well; its specially formulated Sulfamic Acid is safe to use on all well materials. Specially created for the medium to large diameter wells, this potent well cleaner can be used on your personal, irrigation, or municipal wells. Designed with the everyday user in mind, the pH color indicator makes it easy for anyone to see if the water is still acidic or not. DESCRIPTION- Dry granular acid blend for cleaning residential, irrigation, commercial and municipal water wells- Cleans calcium & magnesium carbonate scale, moderate iron deposits- Contains inhibitor to protect metal surfaces and penetrants to clean deep into filter pack and formation- Contains color indicator to allow visual monitoring of pH during treatment- Can be poured directly into well without dangerous splashing- No vapors are released as is evident with hydrochloric acid- Easy to use and handle- NSF certified for potable water well use WATCH VIDEO How To Use Descale Right NW-100 & Descale Plus NW-110 APPLICATIONNu-Well 110 Granular Acid is used in well cleaning operations as a granular product introduced at the wellhead or dissolved and pumped into the well as a liquid. The granular form can settle throughout the water column providing a simple application, however, for improved cleaning, it is recommended to pull the pump and treat the well as follows: 1. Nu-Well 110 Granular Acid should be mixed into a tank containing a volume of water and acid equal to 40% of the total treatment volume. The attached table provides the recommended dosage for general well cleaning. When possible, obtain information on construction and performance history and submit samples for laboratory analysis before application to determine if dosage modifications are warranted.2. This mixture should be placed evenly across the well screens. Placement methods should assure contact with affected regions at the desired concentration. Agitation of the acid into the plugged area will greatly enhance the effectiveness of the cleaning.3. The acid solution should remain in contact for a period of 12 to 48 hours, depending on the nature of the plugging. The product has limited use where heavy deposits of gypsum are suspected (add Nu-Well 310 BioAcid Dispersant in this situation).4. Monitor pH often during treatment and keep below 3.0 for effective cleaning. If pH rises above 3.0 add an additional acid solution of approximately 20% of the original dose. The amount of acid consumed will depend on the degree of mineral scaling.5. Discharge the acid solution from the well, neutralize on the surface and dispose of in accordance with the appropriate regulations. Note: DO NOT LEAVE the chemical in the well for more than 72hrs. Doing so could allow the minerals to solidify in the well and damage the well significantly.

Whether you are using a PVC pipe or Steel, The NuWell 100 only attacks the minerals and leaves your casing like new. Q: I am getting a lot of foam or bubbles in my well after I added the NuWell 100, is this normal?A: Yes, this is perfectly normal. NuWell produces Carbon Dioxide gas while it attacks the mineral deposits in your well. If you get excessive foam, you may need to add water to the well and a second treatment may be needed to finish the cleaning process. Q: Can I use NuWell 100 with bleach to clean and disinfect at the same time?A: NO! DO NOT DO THIS! Choline mixed with NuWell 100 produces harmful off-gases that can be dangerous in confined spaces. Allow sufficient time between your cleaning and disinfection treatments. Q: Will this remove the minerals coming out of my well and into my home?A: No. This is not a water treatment method. This cleaner is designed to simply remove the scaling and mineral buildup inside your well. Q: After treatment, what do I do with the water in the well?A: NuWell 100 is a mild acid with no lasting effects on the environment. It can, however, kill plant life in concentrated doses when left at a low pH level. We recommend using our pH Acidic Water neutralizer to bring the discharged water up to a level safe for plant life. We also recommend contacting your local government agencies for additional guidance and restrictions in your area. Q: Can I discharge the water into my septic system?A: Because the solution is still very acidic, doing so will most likely upset or even distroy your septic system's healthy ecosystem. So this is not advised. Q: Can I run this through my home to clean my pipes after treating the well?A: The fine particles being discharged from the well, will most likely clog any home filtration system you have in place and or all the screens you have on each sink and shower fixture. So please don't do this.
