long story short..
well depth is about 200 feet, pump is down about 180.
Every few years we need to raise the pump up another few feet because of sand accumulating in the bottom of the well and now its to the point of affecting the output of the well.
Is there an easy way of removing this sand? I was thinking of maybe lowering a pipe down, filling the well to 15ft of the top and sucking it out with a trash pump or similar.
The well is in use and I dont want the well guys coming out with dirty equipment to comtaninate the well.
many thanks.. james
