It has been under light to normal use for 3 person household since installation. I have horrible water quality and have since installed a spin down filter and 3 other large filters, when new the water is also fresh and clean.
I have noticed at various times, I have to clean the spin down filter every 2 weeks or so, manually, as there is a build up of mud and sand so thick water flow stops.

I had a well installation completed on Sept 2016.

- My pump is right on the water level at times and causing turbidity
- I'm cycling too much water for my well to support
