Hi All,
I noticed there seems to be some knowledgeable people around here and was hoping I could get some honest, experience input on an issue I am having.
I recently had a new borehole installed, they didn't really go down as far as I would have liked but rather stopped saying there is plenty of water, however I have had very dirty water coming from the hole and when I run the pump I get less than an hour of pumping (with a restricted output, i.e the valve party closed) during which the water gets increasingly dirtier until it basically dries up and I need to stop the pump so as not to completely destroy it.
The installer tells me the hole just needs time for the veins to open up and the hole to produce more water and that I should just keep running it on and off.
Does this sound right? I expected maybe in the beginning to get dirty water but I would have thought that if you are on the water correctly there should be no issue in volume, its not like I am pumping out KL at a time
Thoughts from experience anyone?
To add for context, there are several people with boreholes in the area, and they get the clearest water for hours on end at large volumes
TIA
