Well we got all the packing done and we are starting to fill it with water. Our 300 gal/min pump got silted in yesterday and needs to be pulled and the silt removed from the hole. Any suggestions on getting the silt out of the well? Our well is a 20' piece of 3' diameter PVC pipe with a 16" PVC pipe sloped away from the creek to collect water into it. The problem is most of the silt collected in the bottom of the well and the part of the pump that sucks water in is cover with silt. Just trying to figure out a way to get it out without crawling down there with a shovel and a bucket?
