Well, Mud

So. Our water pressure/issue continues on. When the plumber showed up yesterday afternoon this is what he pulled out of the system.

Our pre-filter after a few hours

The plumber replaced the above filter the previous day when he aired up the bladder tank. We ran a pressure test and then Jim took a shower. No other water was used and the filter is already caked. We. Have. A. Problem.

This is the water coming straight into the house. It's not waste in there! That's the actual water we are getting out of our well. The plumber said to by-pass our softener because we'd kill it in a matter of days. 

Since the water heater still has fresh water in it (prior to the tank being aired) we were able to grab quick showers this morning. But there's no laundry today (or yesterday) and using water around the house is at a minimum.

We have three calls into well drillers to have them come out and look at our system. One driller is downstate. One driller has a service truck that's down and can't come. One sounded drunk when we talked to him last night and he'd see if he could get over in a few days. That guy wanted to just drill a new well. Jim called another company first thing this morning and they said they'd be out later today to have a look. 

In quilting news. I finished Diane's quilt on Bernie and now I'm heading over to Marty to start Diana's second quilt. No pics [yet] since I'm preoccupied with this water situation.
