I just bought a house with a 1600 foot well. Here is the little history about it that I know. Was told that it is artesian (if that matters here). Water free flows at about 35 psi. Water comes out of well into bottom of 220 gal tank, then out of tank about 1/3 way up from bottom to the 1 1/2 hp pump, passes air tank, through large filter then to house. Seems like that is how it is supposed to be but I don't know.
Here is the problem...Water was dirty in the house, changed filters not much help. decided to drain tank and refill, added 2 gal bleach, opened all faucets in house with pump on a 50 psi. Water ran for about 15 min then just started slowing down until I have no water at the house at all. What could have happened? I have water up to the filter right before it goes underground.
I would really appreciate any and all help, thanks -Hosky
