Yesterday, we flushed our well with chlorine. When we were done, none of us could smell chlorine from the taps. But, today, my mom says her water tastes funny. Tingling on the tongue. Now, I'm super scared we messed up when we flushed the chlorine from the well. We had a hose connected to the water from right outside the pressure tank and we let it flow outside. What I'm afraid we messed up is that we let the water flow near the well and might have put lots of chlorine all around the well underground, making it pretty much impossible to get rid off. I am panicking now. We ordered a chlorine test on Amazon that should arrive tomorrow. In the meantime, I'm drinking from a plastic bottle. I want to know objectively how much chlorine is in my drinking water, not by guessing with my tongue. But, I don't smell anything (or at least I don't think I do). So things should be fine. I don't know.
