My well has almost stopped producing, not good when you have kids.

My stupid wife (did I say that???) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) tried to fill a 1000-gallon kiddie pool with the garden hose. One shit load of sand and clay puked out before she went dry. I replaced the pump (the old one was noisy and about dead anyways) and now it will go dry if you flush the crapper several times. Can’t do the washing, only can have quick showers, if it’s yellow let it mellow, if it’s brown flush it down….. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Phoned the well guy (actually every one of them) to clean it and the earliest one will be here is 2 months!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Phoned this company called Well Tech.
Said that the sand screen is calcified and blocking the water. They pump CO2 into the well to de-calcify the screen. Sounds like snake oil to me, where did all the damn sand and clay come from if it’s calcified . Hell, I could pump it dry and dump 20 gallons of vinegar down it and get that result.
$3200.!!!! And no guaranty. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

Any thoughts?

Signed,
Up shit creek …literally.
