My well pump has been getting slow. Last time it did this it was full of sand. It quit yesterday.
Made some calls and they range from " maybe we can blow it out and re casing it" to " you need a new $50k well"... I can't do a $50k well.
Tonight I got my pump out that I keep for this emergency. I'm sucking water from my 2000 gallon storage tank and pumping it into my pressure tank. Once the storage is gone I'll be in bigger trouble as the only water truck here won't take any more customers.
Got a well guy coming next week to pull the pump and see what's going on down there. Then we will know more.
This is my current contraption I came up with about 15 years ago when we were out of water for 3 months and I was hauling water with my pickup.
