Hi,

This is on behalf of a friend of mine who has a 15 year old driven shallow well, high water table and it takes now 8-9 minutes for the pump to draw water before it shots off. He thinks that perhaps the screen is clogged, preventing sufficient water flow. If he is right, is htere a method to rejuvenate this well? perhaps injecting high pressure air or something else?

Thanks,

Gabe
