Hello, I live in a 40+ year old home in Nova Scotia. I have a drilled well 175 feet deep, the water has arsenic that is treated with a dual filter setup, the rest of the house is not treated so I get iron staining in sinks and toilets.
My issue is if I run the water for a while (eg. running the kids sprinkler for an hour) the water starts coming out very cloudy with sediment. It takes anywhere from 12-36 hours to return to normal, and also sometimes happens after a very heavy rain.
It is a real nuance as it is filling the toilets tanks with sand, and I am sure the hot water tank too.
Any ideas what the source of the issue is, is there likely sediment at the bottom of the well that gets sucked up when run low?
Cheers,
Glenn
