I'm a newbie but in dire need of help Our shallow well has lost pressure again! We have pulled it now three times in the last 5 years. We have a sand point and everytime we pull it it is crusted with gunk. Are we using the wrong one? Our water tables are VERY plentiful - water at 12" and we are down
at about 25'. The water here is very hard, however after reading and researching I'm wondering of we are using the wrong point? Or -
What are the best points to use in sandy areas? Water pressure is very important to me as well. Will we get better pressure if we use 2" rather than
1-1/4"? Commom sense tells me yes but not always true? Being that we need to pound another point I'm looking for the best advice possible becuase it's not easy work to be doing multiple times...**ugh** I believe the pump we are using is a flotec and have read they aren't the best, any suggestions?
Also, is there anything you can buy to pound? Electric pounder maybe?
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!! Thanks in advance!
