Check the iron concentration in the well water. Probable oxidation of iron ions to ferric chloride by the hypochlorite. Also check the pH of the water. The pH would be more than 7 in that case.

I agree with Muiruri and Daniel . Thanks

I concur with Daniel Couton's opinion. Likely oxidation of a metal. Water analysis in this case is necessary. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ica.2006.03.035

pH 7.3,( Fe 0.3 , Zn 0.48 mg /L). So, I believe that Fe and pH are not the case

Thanks Dr.Muiruri.

The Fe ion in the well water was low and I believe that it not oxidized as the pH about 6.8
