Ammonia in Wells
High Ammonia in wells is often overlooked and can cause serious issues with water quality. The high ammonia can lead to high chlorine feed rates. This makes it difficult to achieve “Breakpoint Chlorination” to overcome the ammonia. Operators may get false readings on their daily tests. A common problem is for the “Phantom” Free residual to show up when there is an excess ammonia in the wells. The high chlorine feed may lead to lead corrosion, steel corrosion, or copper corrosion. This may lead to dirty water complaints, equipment failure and pinhole copper leaks.
