    Has the water level dropped in your area so the well points sucking dirt? It may be you'll have to dig the well deeper. In the mean time have you tried putting pressure inn the suction line and blowing the well point clear?

    Thanks Tom. We have not. Is this a relatively simple process? I'm told it's an older well with a 3" casing.
