Hi All !

I have a wellpoint with pump hooked up to the garden sprinkler system.
The problem is that I live in a sandy area and a lot of fine sand
comes up with the water, clogging up the water jets. I've fitted small
in-line filters, but these block up in only a few short hours, and
besides, the fine sand get through in any case.

The local hardware stores have been unble to provide solutions - could
only suggest "very expensive sandtraps".

I'm looking for an easy solution, preferably DIY. Anyone out there
who'se had the same thing and solved it, I 'd like to hear from you.

Thanx in advance.

How about a whole house filter with a sediment element? It works in normal
house use but may clog fast depending on how much you irrigate. How about
just letting the grass go natural?

Southeast Florida has had about 2 inches of rain in the last 4 months.

"Natural" would mean "dead".

Which is probably why there is the sand. The well is going dry.
Until it drys up, try a soaker hose, that wont clog as easily.
Otherwise I think you're screwed unless you want to spend lots of
money or have a new well drilled.

Good, then you don't have to mow it.
