I have a shallow well. I tried hooking a garden hose up to my suction line to backflush my screen. Now I have less water pressure than before. It takes a lot longer to fill my pressure tank. Pump & tank have been changed. Thanks in in advance for your help.

Pump & tank have been changed.But did you pull the well point and check for blockages? Back to you. Tom

No. I was hoping to avoid that.
