Jason before you do any shooting I think you should try this, I have recovered 8 wells here and they are still pumping after many years. Get you a 150 or so CFM compressor, hook the hose to a 1" pipe that will reach to almost the bottom of the well, you can use the well pipe for this if you take off the pump,when you turn on the air besure to have pipe secured well as it will push the pipe up to the top of the static water level real quick, it will blow water out the top, so be prepared for that. Now you have to keep a little water in the bottom of the well, and it will do wonders on cleaning out the slots and opening up the water channels. I,ve done wells over 200" deep this way and it has always improved them greatly. If I left out any info just email me, Bob
