The chlorine tests have arrived... ...and the results were great ! The chlorine concentration was well under 1 mg/L, the smallest resulution the test we bought can detect. We tested the water both at the output of the well (before treatment) and at various taps around the house. Yesterday, fearing we had chlorine in the well, we let the water running outside, far away from the well, for about nine hours. The sample we kept from the water before that flushing also had under 1 mg/L of chlorine. Yay. That was followed by the more relaxing activity of changing the batteries of our smoke detectors. It's no fun when they start screaming in the middle of the night. When it happened with mine, I unplugged it and threw it in the filing cabinet of my office. (they are powered with both 120V and a 9V battery)
