Hi, I have a old well at my vacation cabin project that will produce cloudy rusty water. It is a 6” steel casing into rock, not sure how deep but the pump hangs at 100’. It has a high static level and sometimes even overflows the casing. It also is a low producing well which I have roughly figured to have a recharge rate of 3 Gpm. So what I think is happening is, when the a large amount of water is used it draws down the well quickly pulling rusty crud from the top of the casing. I haven’t used the well much as I am just getting things put together. In my mind I would think once things settel out and the water use is normal. Here is the issue in winter I will be draining the lines because the lateral is too shallow and will freeze so every time I start it up I will have rusty water. Are there any filters anyone can recommend for this issue? Thanks
