I have a 100' deep well in a remote area of Mexico that has recently blown out a few drop pipe unions. The drop pipe is just sch 40 PVC which has worked fine for the last 5 years. The blow outs are happening because the 120 mesh filter I have installed between the well and the pressure tank is clogging up with sediment and the pump keeps trying to pump. Is there some type of switch I can install that could monitor and turn off the pump when this is happening? The pressure switch at the pressure tank currently controls the on/off of the pump but since its down stream of the filter it doesn't detect the high pressure on the up stream side of the filter.
Thanks for any advise you can give.
