[QUOTE="plumber_greg, post: 825241, member: 9115"] Sorry your plumber is wrong. Wells are make to accept ground water only. The top must be sealed, even 2or3' down, at least 5'. I know water is susposed to run between the cracks, but in the ground water vein, not the top of the well. You will always have cloudy water if it's not, e very time it rains. Bentonite clay works well for a sealant. Not only are you contanamating your water, you are also contamamating the groundwater of your neighbors if surface water is allowed to enter your well. Us old plumbers, you said he'd been doing it for forty years, are sometimes difficult to make change. If there is any kind of DNR licensing authority in NY, I'm sure he either isn't lincensed or was grandfathered in and isn't aware what he is doing to the groundwater. Please fix this, if not for your saftey then for the following generations. Once the grouondwater in an area in ruined, it always will be ruined. Sorry to get on my bandwagon, you ought to hear me preach about the damage onsite sewers can cause. I've just done, until I learned different, and seen so much hidden damage to the enviroment, it's scary. gs [/QUOTE]
