Terry,
I have a shallow well with a 2" sandpoint set at about 25 feet which is located in my basement so actually it's at 33 feet from ground level with about 4 feet of water in the pipe. My house is a two story with bathrooms on both levels. When I turn on any facet I get about 30-35# of pressure but once I add another fixture (be it facet or toilet or outside house) my pressure drops to about 5#.
Within the last year and half I've replace my pump with a new 1-1/2hp pump and have placed the tablets in the well pipe twice. The pressure gets a little better after the tablets but doesn't take long and it's back to same situation. I do have alot of iron in my water. I have pulled my sand point once and replaced with a 2" stainless stell about 6 years ago and now I'm wondering if I'm just plugged up to the point of having to pull and clean it?
Any ideas??
