As I described in a previous post, we had recently deepened our well and had since been dealing with gray, cloudy water. It has been over three weeks of flushing and there is little improvement. As someone suggested, I have been running 2 hoses and that seems to be making a difference. The thing is, when I run the 2 hoses, the water clears up quite a bit but once I turn the hoses off and the well recovers, the water turns gray again. So far I have been running the 2 hoses for about 3 hours at a time and then turning them off for about an hour. Will the water ever clear up? Should I continue doing what I am doing? I am turning the water off and letting the well recover as I don't want to let the well run dry and risk damaging the pump. My well produces about 7 gpm so I am not sure how long I can run 2 hoses before I run out of water.
Any comments or suggestions? Will my water ever clear or should I be thinking about adding another whole house filter? There is already one installed but it is not helping too much.
