Also consider,,
If the pump losses pressure (power, valve, leak) it can back flush into the well, and stir up stuff (mud).
I may take just a little time and running to flush out the lines.
And watch to see if it happens again.

Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

This could have also been one of many possibilities, Peter. As things now stand it looks as if it was just a risen aquifer. Something others should definitely consider if they have the same troubles. Thanks for your input!Originally Posted by pcosmar
In America today there remains two factions.
The Federalist and the Anti-Federalist.
Neither of the two dominating political parties belong to the latter.
You can't be one and the other..
Sorry for your problems Phil , but this has been a pretty good trouble shooting guide for the future for me . If I can remember where to find it when I need it .
I was looking for ways to clean out well and lines without bleach...(I am still looking) but I came across this info that may be helpful...

ETA:
I am wondering...I hate bleach, and wondering can you flush your well better with distilled white vinegar? White vinegar is known to kill 99% of bacteria, 82% of mold, 80% of germs and viruses, and it is not as harsh as chlorine.

Vinegar has these properties because of its pH. When you water it down it doesn't have extremely low pH any more. I don't like bleach for much either, but when I shock my well I use it... or if I slaughter an animal... I clean up with it. Other than that it has little use to me. I wouldn't trust a well after a vilnegar shock as vinegar itself has a pH of 4.5 but any dilution thereof does not. Maybe a heavy citric acid shock... but I would test to see that what's coming out of the well was brought to below 4. It would probably be expensive relative to bleach. Citric acid comes in crystalline form for about $15/ dry pint. You'd be out in the world of experimentation... everyone else in the world uses chlorine. Another option might be strong H202. Both should be available from your local hydroponic shop or online. I have no dosage recommendations.

It does not require a majority to prevail,
