Nu-Well 220 dispersant polymer uses liquid dispersant chemistry specifically designed to remove mud and clay from the well environment
– Successfully develops new wells without using phosphate
– Eliminates food source for bacteria (100 percent water soluble, readily flushed from well)
– Rehabilitates old wells plugged with clays, silts and fines
– NSF approved for potable water well use

Application
In new well systems, use Nu-Well 220 dispersant polymer as you would phosphates for drilling mud breakdown and well
development. For optimal removal of bentonite drilling fluids, separately pre-treat the well with 1,500 ppm chlorine to break down the polymers that are included in most commercial bentonite products. Determine borehole volume, and apply
Nu-Well 220 dispersant polymer at the rate of 1 gal. per 500 gal. of water. Vigorously agitate by mechanical means for
several hours (approximately 1/2 hour per 20 ft. of intake). If left in the well overnight, agitate before pumping out. Allow a
minimum of 6 to 8 hours contact time, downhole. In older well systems use, Nu-Well 220 dispersant polymer
to remove fine sands, mud and clays that have filled in the gravel pack and borehole. Use at a rate of 1 gal. per 300
gal. of water. Vigorously agitate (by mechanical means), allowing the solution to stand in the well overnight and
repeat the agitation the next day, before pumping out. Allow a minimum of 6 to 8 hours contact time, downhole.
