Hi, The water level in my well is really low, the submersible pump and pressure tanks are working as they should. There are no leaks in the lines from well to the house as per the local plumbing firm. My in house water filter system needs the filter changed now every 3 - 4 days and has sediment/sand in it. Whereas before the filter needed to be changed every 6 months or so. I should also add that my two 6ft deep ponds are completely dry.

Not to sure I feel safe enough to have the well fracked. Pressurizing the well has been a suggestion - but how would I do that. Thanks for any help or suggestions

Honestly... never heard of pressurizing a well.

I would say you need a deeper well. If you are sucking that much dirt into the filter, your pump may be sitting too low in the well.
