Thanks,

We had a 20 micron filter that seemed to clog pretty fast (installed early May and replaced last week, with only weekend use). I replaced it with a 5 micron filter and we had two families here all week and, so far, seems ok.

So, rather than jump the gun and put in the separator, I'm going to experiment with a few different filter sizes (namely, balancing the filtering quality against the need to change it every other week).

I too thought that the pump was too low in the well and I intially called the plumber (who works with wells also) to ask for their advice in that regard.

I'm going to do more research/experiment and I'll let you know what I learn. And I agree, I should do what it takes to protect the pump -- it may be the spearator after all.
