I am getting more and more dark sand/gravel bits from our well (down 400+ ft and 2 years old). It's playing havoc with the washer, outlets, etc. Is raising the pump a job for the installer vs. myself and is it expensive? I just moved into the house 1 month ago!

thanks.. David

... and just think about what that is doing to your pump!

I think my own well installer said the labor for replacing my pump would have been around $200.00 had I not done the job myself, and I would imagine he would take a little off a drop pipe (if possible) for about the same amount.

Call the pro, and very soon! Your pump might need to remain right where it is, and that would call for a different approach to your dilemma. There are self-cleaning spin filters that can protect your household fixtures, but your pump might give up before you could even get one installed.
