I have a couple questions. According to the other Wells nearby are water table was between 110-200 ft when my well guy hit 210 still no water. He let it sit for the entire weekend still no water. He then drilled down to 350' and he had no water but the formation Stones were there saying that there should have been water. As I was out of money and I could not go to the 700' Coconino Aquaphor and left thinking that it was probably going to be a seasonal well but as he was welding the cap on there was air rushing out of the ground. 2 hours later I checked the well air was still rushing out of the casing, on the inside was saturated with condensation. I dropped a string down there is liquid down there, it was the color of the Sandstone that he had been drilling out. So my question is he hit a lot of fractures when he was Drilling where he would literally go down 10 ft and no drill fluid was coming out then he would go down another 15 ft and it would happen again and this occurred over 100 ft could it be taking more time for all that drill foam to work its way out so that the water can start flowing into the well? Other question is if there's old drill foam in the well will it break down or do I have to somehow pump it all out?
I have a 3-inch pvc well set up that I tried to have tested for recovery and see if I could get more water out of it. My issue comes during filter regeneration running out of water. EVERY regeneration cycle ends up running out of water and sucking air into the system. (It clearly doesn't make for a good regeneration cleanout) Is it possible to widen the well to 4 inch and get a decent amount more storage or flow? The guys that came out from the local well company couldn't figure out depth or recovery as the 3 inch pipe didn't allow then to figure ot out. (They tried echo determining level and even tried to add a copper pipe to see if they could echo past the pump blocking the pipe. No luck) I never followed up to get a new team out that might have more experience or change too many setting to the regeneration to slow down or break up the usage during the backwash using too much water, etc. Any ideas?
Nice presentation by the way!

What about Air Sparging?
