I just updated the top post with the official test results. It looks like there could be colloidal clay which is causing the turbidity. I left some of the first water samples I took in water bottles for several weeks to see if they would "settle out"...while there has been some settling, the...

I would be concerned with Calcium scale, from the carbonate. You're correct in that I don't know the depth of the well pump itself; Due to the high recovery and production, the depth of the well, and the surrounding properties, I assume the pump is set a few feet off the bottom. ~ 200'

Sitting for 8 years; it's a 12yr old pump and was used during the first homeowners stay the first 4 years. It's been turned on at least a few times the last 8 years, but infrequently at best and likely only for water tests done during inspections.

6" Casing, 6" well bore. Definitely fed along the stratum; well test indicates different gpm at difference depths. Most wells in this part of NY are rock bores, and do not feed from the bottom, but along their entire length. Since it's shale, there are many many layers! The higher pH is of...

No hot water yet; I have not connected anything until I get the treatment settled (or until we move in) whichever is first! I have looked into using a sludge pump, but for 220 feet it seemed a costly and difficult setup to build! Since the sediment cleaned up for now, would it be OK to wait...

I will be applying for a permit for this work on Monday. It's been a long delay! Can anyone answer my questions with regards to wet venting and the stack offset? The layout of my house does not allow me to do anything else with the space/layout besides this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Anyone able to help with this? Also, after reading through this forum a bit more I will be replacing the master bath toilet with a Toto Drake II!
