I'll start by saying we've always had a good well. It was dug in '93, to replace the existing well,
which was hand dug in 1907. (original wood cribbed, collapsed)
Good, as in clean, and flow around 5 gpm. Not a ton of flow, but, it's 24 inch, and 100 feet deep, so
lots of quick capacity.
In June, we had an ugly storm that dumped about 6 inches of rain in 20 minutes. That is kind of how
weather is here, so things were ready, and functioning.
A few days later, our water got hard, and lots of turbidity.
We waited it out for a bit, pumped lots, etc. then decided to put in filters, and a softener.
If this works, pics attached.
As Murphy would have it, 6 months later, the well is almost back to normal, but we are ready
for the next time. And it's only money, right?
