we have a drilled well about 200 ft deep. the well was installed 2007 but wasn't used much until 2014. For the last three years the water has been cloudy. I contacted the company that drilled the well, and was told to flush the well for a few hours which cleared it up. then a week later it was cloudy again. I was told to run it for a day , then 2 days, but a week later it was cloudy again. I've been flushing it once a week into a plastic 5 gal pail. It takes about an hour to run clear. That was for 2 years , then it was every day for a hour . Now its twice a day. The cloudiness seems to be from clay , but i get some sand in the bottom of the pail. I installed 2 filters the first one is a 2x10 1 micron it stops the sand . the second one is a 4x10 .5 micron it slows down the clay but doesn't stop it. My question is do you think it could be a cracked casing? the well is a 9 inch PVC outer casing, and the iner is a 5 inch
