Most likely your intake screen at your submersible pump pick up "way" at the bottom of your well is torn or corroded or minerals have dissolved it. how old is pump? further questions?

Actually the screen on a submersible pump was not put there to stop sediment, it is to keep anything larger than what will fit through the impellers from plugging them up.

Minerals are naturally occurring in Water Wells and are a natural and normal occurrence. There are filters that will remove these items.

How do you clear up muddy well water?

To clear up muddy well water, you can try running the water for a while to flush out the sediment. You could also install a filtration system or use a settling tank to allow the sediment to settle before using the water. Regularly maintaining your well and ensuring it is properly sealed can also help prevent sediment from entering the water.

Why is sediment in your well water?

Sediment in well water can come from the natural erosion of rocks and soil around the well, as well as from the well itself if there is corrosion or mineral buildup in the plumbing system. It can also result from disturbed ground around the well during construction or maintenance activities. Regular well maintenance and testing can help monitor and address sediment buildup in well water.

When all the particles in a sediment are about the same size the sediment is said to be?

When all the particles in a sediment are about the same size, the sediment is said to be well-sorted. This typically indicates that the sediment has been through a sorting process, such as transportation by water or wind, that has separated particles by size. Well-sorted sediments often have better porosity and permeability properties.
