Whats the best way to check that my well point is in good condition and not clogged. I suspect it might be restricted. I do not know how old it is but the camp is 50+ years old.
The well head is 4' above lake level.
the well is 10 feet from the lake edge.
water level is 4' down.
the well is 12' deep ( point is 12' down )
45' to the pump elevated maybe 8' from well head
Pump is a Goulds deep well with shallow well injector kit 1/3 hp set 30/50lbs
1" ID continuous line from well head with check valve all joints checked for leaks with soap and water.
seems like the pump is struggling to fill the new flowtec 80 gallon bladder tank we just got and really struggles when the pressure gets to 50lbs right before it kicks off. My thought is that it is having trouble sucking thru a clogged straw....
any thoughts?
