So here's the deal, had a well dug 8" casing inserted to 21 feet because we hit rock at 9 feet. We first hit water at 60 feet, it was about 40 gpm, we continued down to 90 feet and we were at about 300gpm, so we went to 110 and quit drilling. That's all well and good right, here is my problem.
I don't know anything about drilling and I think my well company might be getting a little lazy on me... They wouldn't air jet the well for more than 20 minutes and the whole time muddy water was just flying out of there, lots of sand, etc - he said he would try to find a 5hp pump and out it down there and just let it run until the water ran clear, is that normal? Everything I've read basically says he should jet it with air from the rig until it runs clear, can someone help me here?
