[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 824937, member: 4362"] AC, I have several of these and 20-30 feet is about all you can do once you hit the underground creek. Its sortof like baling water out of a battleship with a gaping hole in it with a bucket. You just can't shovel no more. Mud pump helps but even it can only pump so much water. In my area, these shallow wells get muddied when there is a wet spell. Especially if this follows a dry period. The creeks and caves that fill the well will erode and cave in. In time it will normally work itself out but its also letting you know there are going to be some issues later on. These wells aren't the best in the world but ours has served us for over a 100 years. I'm with Greg on the water test. I can tell you its polluted before you get your test back and you will need to buy ..... product X or you will go blind and die and your children will all be born naked. The only way your manure could be getting into the well is through surface runoff. If its not this then you don't have a problem with it cause there are just to many things between the ground water and the manure to allow this to happen. [/QUOTE]
