Sediment In Water

Bedrock Drilled Wells

Rock cuttings or loose soil resulting from drilling a new water well installation of a new well and will usually disappear over time. However, some water wells suffer from a continual influx of small rocks and sand which fall from the walls of drilled water wells.


​Iron, Manganese, Calcium, & Magnesium

Water-borne elements like iron, manganese, calcium, and magnesium can also produce sediment in water as those elements interact with surrounding air, converting them from clear solubles to "hard" precipitates that appear to be sand or gravel.

Dug Wells, Point Wells, & Gravel Drilled Wells

Sand is more common in dug wells, point wells, and gravel wells as they are in sandy soil. Sandy water can be treated with a professional filter system which strains and collects sediment and hard minerals. It is also possible to address sandy water at the well pump including pump sleeves which greatly reduce sediment intake. Iron, manganese, and calcium and magnesium can also produce sandy water as those elements interact with surrounding air. These "hard" precipitates then attach to fixtures, sinks and surfaces and appear to be sand.
