What To Do When Your Water Well Begins To Pump Sand Or Grit
If your well begins to pump sand or grit this can be an indication of a serious problem with your well. Sand or Grit in your water well can lead to abrasive wear of the pump, clogging and premature replacement of fixtures, appliances, and your water system. In private well systems, often, what appears to be sand can actually be sediment or other particulate material from various sources.
