Pulling sand after an hour and a half of pumping
I have a well that is 3 years old 385ft deep, pump is set around 300ft. Since day one the well has pulled sand after about an hour and a half of running at 5gpm. There is lots of water in the well, the head drops from 60 to 80ft and stays there. If I run it directly from the well overnight it will be clear in the morning, however if it is not run consistently ie normal household use, the sand will return in a couple days if run again for an hour and a half straight.
The well has been pumped for multiple weeks straight at a variety of different rates, however the sand always returns.
It works totally fine for household use,but it becomes an issue when trying to water the grass or fill a pool.
Any ideas on the cause and possible solutions?
