I recently moved into a house which has a well and a pump. Unfortunately sand gets pumped with the water and this sand builds up in the water tank, and ends up flowing into the water pipes. I will build a filter to solve this problem but unfortunately the water pipes are already clogged up with sand, so I will need to get the sand out . I know you can flush pipes with an air compressor but I dont have a compressor. I dont have the tools to backflow either. Is there another way to get the sand out of the pipes?
What if I use one of those fish tapes for electrical wiring, I could insert that into all the inlets and maybe break up the sand sediments then the water should flush it out. Im going to try this.
