I had a well drilled in February 2018 to a dept of 325 feet. We hit water at 285 feet static level is 10 feet produces 4gpm
I had the water tested twice and all parameters except hardness passed in the good range. A water softener fixed the hard water
I have B.B. 10 size filter housing with a 20 micron cartridge that turns jet black after two months of use. Two adults in the house
Is this something that will clear up in time with use of the well?
Should I flush the well say once a week for an hour? My pump is a 10gpm 3/4 horse at 300 feet and well produces 4gpm don’t want to drain the well but force it to refill with water overnight
Or just change cartridge every 2-3 months?
Thanks
