My shallow well has trickled down to a little over a gpm.
A new pump didn't help. The soil here is sandy and this well produces excellent sweet water.
The problem with sinking a new well is the county no longer permits shallow wells these days. My neighbor has a deep well and the egg/iron water to go along with it.
I heard sometimes back flushing a shallow well with compressed air might unclog an old well head.
Anyone done this? Any down sides?
Appreciate any ideas or comments.
Ken
