Hey folks, me again Thanks for all your help, I wanted to keep you up-to-date and maybe someone else can benefit from my experience. It is now jan 13 and we still have no water (around a month). I have been getting the major runaround from my well company and it turns out Porky I did...

Hey Thad I am not a well/pump guy but we lived with iron bacteria for 3 years and I sounds like thats what you have. I had to learn more than I would like about iron bacteria, so maybe I can help or at least bump your thread. From what I have read and experienced, it is nearly impossible...

thanks for the input just to reply: we bought the property from a realtor/developer and in the negotiations we had them pay for and drill the well. so the home builder had no dealing with the water system, I installed pump and lines myself. So really I guess I am on my own here. We are...
