By attaching a $65, 1/6-hp utility pump and garden hose from the lake to a garden hose faucet on the outside of the house, it will send a water stream down the water well supply pipe in the opposite direction, and hopefully purge the system of any particulate matter like granite tailings that clogged up the intake screen, down the bottom of the well.

Plus, it will immediately get all bathroom and kitchen faucets running with clear LAKE water.

At least it's an el cheapo, quik fix before you pull the trigger on a big-bucks, professional water well repair?

Plus, Lowe's has an easy return policy, so if you save the box and the receipt, it can be returned within 90 days.
