I have a well pump about five years old, the well is about 200 feet or
so down (It's a submersible pump). Today I found the filter cannister
full of dirt. I ran the water and emptied the cannister about five
times and the water cleared. Two hours later, there was dirt again.
Same process, the water cleared...then awhile later, dirt again. I now
have the water turned off, but does this sound like something I just
have to repeat and it'll clear, or else is it likely a real problem
with my pump? Thanks!
