@Patty F,
is your well an overflowing artesian well? If so you could let it run to waste for a while to see whether the turbidity dcreases. If it doesnt, the ater source is probably showing some chemical flocculation as water changes its chemical equilibrium. ARe you, by any chance, in a limestone area?
We keep a Dometic dynamic filter on the incoming line from our pump. The filters are about 4"in diameter and about 15 " long. They look like a big Tampon and work fine to remove any turbidity in the well itself before wasting contact space on our GAC carbon unit and
limestone treatment pellets.
Our water is acidic and we need to jack up the pH. But we still need to remove turbidty from the well before any treatment
Youll need to change the particulate filters every month or so because if you let it go too long it will effect your water pressure a bit.
