Know any good water well information web sites, or do you have any good info?? Our water is horrible, it doesnt stink but its dirty, when we run bathe water it looks like pond water. Any solutions, or is the well and pump seen better days???? Please HELP!!
You are sucking up what is nearly a dry well that is why you are getting the dirt. You should get a new well drilled deeper and you will not have this problem. If you put a filter on the water you will be replacing it every time you turn around as it will constantly clogging up and spend a fortune in filter costs

We cannot drink the water. It was not recommended anyway by a water purification company. We buy gallons of water to cook with and drink. Apparently the well water has a high sulfur content in it and we cannot consume it.
Can I water my outdoor plants with it being it does come from the same ground the plants and flowers grow in?
You certainly can use that water for irrigation
Most "irrigation wells" are simply shallow wells that may not meet drinking standards, but are fine for watering crops (or flowers). If your water is too acidic, it may cause some issues with certain plants that like "sweeter" soil, but unless you have thousands of dollars invested in your landscape and house plants, I would just let it rip and see what happens
I am considering having a water well drilled to use for watering a new lawn I am planning to start this fall. The cost for drilling the well and installing the pump and running electricity to the pump was quoted at almost $1500. Aside from this initial up front costs, what regualar maintenance costs should I anticipate. I have a neighbor who said he considered a well, but the upkeep on it turned him away. He mentioned the water needing to be treated, wells closing up and needing to be cleared out, etc. I watered my grass a lot this summer and the water big was quite expensive, but I don't want to trade one big expense for another. I'm mainly getting the well to save money because we already have city water service.
I guess part of it depends on where you live and the water you end up with. I live in rural Maine and do not have access to town water (our town has not public water). When I bought my house I had a new well drilled (the old one was shared and on a neighbors property so the bank made me get my own). The drilling, piping, pump, and all that was almost $5000 and this included water testing and shocking (pouring bleach in and running until its flushed) until it passed state water tests. Other than the electricity to run the pump I have no upkeep costs on my well. If you do not plan to drink this water as you have town water you may not care if it passes these tests, but if you are going to go to the expense of having a well drilled you may as well get completely off the town water. Good Luck!

I use water from a well and want my lawn to be green but don't want to contaminate my well water. TruGreen states that their product is safe for well water, but I don't believe the hype. Is there something I can apply that won't cause a buildup in harmful nitrates or other chemicals? Sometimes I drink the water and my fingers turn blue.

I am moving into a home that has a water well, what if any is there in the water pressure. and how does that work. If I am running my shower and doing dishes at the same time will I still have the same pressure or will I lose pressure. What I am asking is it the same.
Hi Bettie,
The pressure is controlled by a pressure switch on the pump. You can set it wherever you want but most of the time it runs between 45-65 psi. Should never exceed 70 in my opinion.
As far as the amount of water it depends on your particular well production. Most wells have a production number listed somewhere and it's expressed in gallons per minute (gpm). The higher the gpm, obviously, the more water you have at your disposal. A good well will have a range of 10-15gpm .
PS: Morris is absolutely correct about the pump volume. What I am referring to is the well's production rate which is a factor of the water depth in the well, the diameter of the well and the recharge rate. In other words you could have a pump that would pump 50 gpm but if you only have 10gpm available that's all you will get. As he points out if you have a good well and a good volume pump you will have no problems running two taps at the same time. Hope that's clear.

How do you chlorinate a well? – The Blogs at HowStuffWorks
You Asked:
How do you chlorinate a well? — Abel, West Bloomfield, Mich.
Marshall Brain answered:
Let’s start with the reason why you need to chlorinate a well. A typical residential well consists of a hole in the ground lined with pipe to prevent cave-ins. The hole might be 200 feet deep and six inches in diameter. A pump hangs at the bottom of the shaft and pumps water to the surface. The well is drilled by a well drilling company like this:
The water in this kind of well is considered to be germ-free. But when you first install the system, or when the system needs maintenance, or if there is a flood, the well gets contaminated and needs to be sterilized. That’s when it is time to chlorinate the well. The basic idea is to put a lot of chlorine (up to 10 gallons of chlorine depending on the size of the well) in the well, run the chlorine through the pump and through all the pipes in your house, let the whole thing sit for 24 hours to kill all the germs, and then eliminate the chlorine.
