P.S. After the posting below, I put in a new filter. The paper filter removed was orange colored and there was fine black grit at the bottom of the filter housing. I opened a faucet and let the bladder tank refill. After about 2 cycles the water began to clear, and this morning it's nearly crystal clear. Could this all have been caused by a long overdue filter change? I think it's been about 1-1/2 years since last changed. Of course I'm glad the mud is gone, but I'm concerned that it's not a permanent fix. Are there other things that can or need to be done?
I have a submerged pump(350'). It's been down about 13 or 14 years. Only the last 2 years or so have we had problems with muddy water when we over utilize it, mostly when watering the grass. I have a GE whole house filter which doesn't help with this problem because I think the particles are too fine to be filtered. Is this a problem with the well or the pump or both?
