We are stumped. For the past 6 or 7 years, our water, from a well, spits and sputters something terrible in July and August, yes, just July and August. We've had our pump changed (let me tell you, pulling that sucker 275 feet was a chore), the water level has been checked multiple times, never lower than the pump. Last year, the plumber said it was it was perfect when he checked it. This year we've had so much rain, it shouldn't be an issue either. The pressure tank was changed last year as well, just on the off chance that it was the problem. Our lines were checked, no leaks. We are over $3500 in with plumbers the past couple of years and no one can tell us what the issue is. Any thoughts on what else we can check? I'm so worried that at some point, it's going to damage something.

i'm a city boy and know very little about wells..

has anyone suggested surging the well?

from the internet...
Surging a well is a well development technique that involves repeatedly raising and lowering a surge block or plunger within the well to create a pressure differential, forcing water in and out of the formation and dislodging sediment and debris. This process helps to improve the well's yield and efficiency by cleaning the well screen, gravel pack (if present), and surrounding aquifer.

At 250 feet, it is unlikely that local rainwater is your water source. Believe it or not, the source may be hundreds of miles away, depending on the topology of the aquifer that your well driller happened to hit.

Stop calling plumbers, they make civilization possible by the work they do on the surface, but they may not be experts on wells. Find a well service run by someone with grey hair. We are fortunate here, we have two services run by grey haired guys who inherited their businesses from their fathers. These guys are likely familiar with aquifers and flows in your area. Sometimes they or their fathers drilled your well in the first place.

Good luck!

davemill... great advice.

Agreed, the previous owner gave us his list of contacts when we bought the house, including the well and septic guys.
