Our well/pressure tank set up has been great, good pressure, etc. on going problem with sand (builds up in bottom of toilet tanks, but I was planning on putting a filter after the pressure tank to catch this stuff (not in yet).
Anyway, I had to run the hose a lot last night and this morning (30 min last night, 15 this morning, full out, no nozzle). An hour later, I noticed pressure in the house was down. Figured it would fix itself. Maybe well was slow filling this time of year.
It's been 12 hours and pressure is still down (maybe half of normal) and I'm getting a ton of sand (washer jammed on wash cycle, had to clean screen in order to rinse. Gave son a bath and had a bunch of sand in bottom of tub).
I figure the well is murky from being run low, but will this right itself or do I need to take some action?
Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.
thanks
