Hi, To Chlorine shock the well as usuall, I removed the cap and water gushed out and is over flowing since. Is something wrong with the well? Do I leave the cap open like this until water level goes down I don't when? I don't have much experience with water wells. Any comment/suggestions appreciated. We don't drink this water. TIA, Tony
My well is over flowing!

Did you turn off the pump?
Hi, Oops, No. I never did. Am I suppose to turn off the pump when removing the cap? Tony
If the cap you are talking about is the cap on top of the well then no, you don't need to turn off the pump.

sounds like you have a leaking pipe, that would explain the overflow
No it wouldn't. If the pipe in the well was leaking, it would just be recirculating the water.
