I have a 30+ year old, 45 foot deep, packer jet type well with a completely clogged point. It is my understanding there is a 1 1/4" point with a check valve dropped down the 2" casing pipe, with the foot valve, packer jet/leathers, and 1 1/4"pipe to the top/pump. As I have no way of removing the point I was wondering the possibility of driving it further down until it clears the casing so a new point could be installed on top of the old one. I am told we have yellow clay followed by blue clay, then sand. I have removed the packer jet and 44' of pipe and added pellets to dissolve the calcium on the point but the (assumed) check valve prevents this from working. Any help would be wonderful.
