just wanted your advise im a plumber just replaced my neighbors well pump the well is 80 feet deep i put in a 1/2 hp 203 volt 10 gal minute submersible pump the well is only 6 feet from house who ever put the original pump in had it wired in for 120 volt the pump was 25 years old it worked the origional pump was the same as what I put in 230 volt 5 gal a minute now I'm getting dirty water coming up in the house I rewired the new pump to 230 volt I let the water run it did clear up some hes running a 202 xtrol told him to keep running the water till it clears with a hose in the yard do you think this pump is 2 big for the well or if he keeps flushing it it will eventually clear its self up if not do you think I should raise the pump up a few feet in the well i think its dirt and sentiment do you think this will keep happening with the dirt in well any advise greatly appreciated also not sure how far its hanging off the bottom of the well
