Is it possible that the water provided by a submersible pump could have more sediment than the water provided by an in-house pump in the same well?
Background:
My water pump recently lost its prime. A company came to reprime the pump but told me that there was a leak somewhere in my water system and they recommended revamping my system with a submersible pump. I had been told this before and the water pump used to run almost constantly so I agreed to let them do the work. It's been about a week since they did the work, but the water has not cleared up to the point it was when I had the original pump in my house. They had me connect a hose to a faucet just below the water tank so that I could run water out of the house for 5-10 minutes every hour for the first 3 days after they installed the submersible pump. The guys that did the work said to have the water come out slowly, but after a couple of days. it was still not too clear, so someone else from the company told me to turn the water on full force. The water kept getting clearer, but never was what it was when I had the original pump in my house. After a few hours of turning the water on full force for 5 minutes every hour, there was one instance when the water came out real brown. I called the company and they told me to limit my use of water for a day or so. I did this and the water seemed to clear up again, but still not to what I was used to. I have a sediment filter and was told that I could use the water in my house for flushing toilets but not for drinking. One thing the company told me is that raising the pump 5 feet might help (it is currently at 75 feet). I am wondering if the submersible pump is not right for my well. Any suggestions on how to proceed would be appreciated.
