The ONLY solution is to replace the pipe. Which you may not be aware is quite light wall pipe, more like tubing and also they have PVC pipes as well. Pun intended. As it happens the PVC lasts longer than the gal-steel and I had them put PVC as the bottom piece this time.

I think the well people out here know what they are talking about. I am just the messenger. If they tell me it is not sand and it is water then for me, it is water. There are thousands of wells out here.

It's micro-sand in the water, vs. granular.
