Is it possible there's an ocean down there that washed it all away??? Even if 1.5 gallons isn't enough for a 400' well, you'd think there would be some slight evidence, no? It's almost as if I treated the wrong well (I didn't). Will call the well company again today for more counseling.
POP...have been doing some reading on UV. May look into that for peace of mind. A bit pricey but what's not?

Go try and smell it again this morning. If I recall, it took some time for mine to show any indication it was chlorinated.
