We have well water and have to change the water filter every week to keep the water pressure up. Any ideas what this could be? The filter comes out slimmy and muddy.

Could be your pump is to close to the bottom of the well, if sump. How deep is the well?

Well depth 140'
Pump depth 100'
Casing depth 65'
Water level 30'
Yield 3 gpm 71
Yield 15 gpm 141

Numbers sound good, have you tested the water? Could be mineral problem.

Would that be your recommendation to have the water tested for mineral deposits? The water looks good and taste very good.

Yes, I would have a test done, could be just a little well maintenance will solve your problem. If you decide to test, post back with the results. Good luck

Here's a little info that might help

We will keep you posted with our progress. Thank you so much for your help.

We had a well professional to come out and decided to pour clorox in the well, circulate it and run off the well periodcally. This seems to be doing the trick. So far, so good!

Thank you so much for your help with this!

Hope that works for you. Please let us know.
