Shut system down for first time in 20 years as I was away for 4 months
Noted some silt/sand coming out when I drained the system at the end.....from bladder tank perhaps, well had been shut down
Well is a deep well, put in about 25 years ago, has always worked fine
Pressure tank is a Well Mate, from 2004
At start up a few weeks ago I noted a bit of dirty water at the start and felt it was the pipes cleaning themselves out
I ran the sprinkler for a few hours and then noted silt in the toilet bowl after flushing
This is not constant, but will stay for a few flushes
