So I have a question. I noticed about a week ago in the upstairs shower it looked like dirt ,my kids were in it and I was like they can't be that dirty. But it wasn't anything that was so ridiculous that I was didn't think anything about it. The shower drain was fine, a shower work.
Then I noticed in the upstairs toilet only ...no other toilets were affected just the upstairs, I noticed when I flush the toilet there was sand. Where did this sand came from. Open up the back of the tank to see if there was something going on and found about three and a half cups of sand at the bottom of the tank. Got a hose cleaned it out, clean the inside of the tank, flush the toilet more f****** sand. If this is a well problem why is it only the upstairs bathroom that's collecting sand. I don't have money for a new well. And all the other toilets in the house are clear, I just got a new water softener, a new water heater, and redid half the damn pipes ( PVC) it was the original galvanized that we replaced. So my question is is this a problem that could be fixed since it's only on the top floor could I switch out that or is it definitely a well problem.
Please help poor Mama of 2
