Wasn,t sure where to post this but I need some advice . We have 2 cased wells one for the house & one for watering & supplying water to our big building for the bathroom & game room . It is also used as a disposal well for the heat pump/air conditioning for our house during the winter months in the warmer months I switch it over to use for watering purposes .
The other day I went to use the hydrant off of that well for watering & noticed water coming out of the top of the casing . I thought maybe a line from the pump broke or something . After pulling the top off I noticed the heat pump was running into it & causing the casing to overflow .
I,m guessing the years of use as a disposal well has plugged all or most of the holes in the casing itself . Does anyone know how they could be cleared out ? It will still pump water some but after 5 minutes or so it starts sucking air . Are my only options puttind down 2 new wells one for pumping & one for disposal or do I have any other options . Thanks for any input in advance . The wells right around 40 foot deep . Bob
