Muddy Water from Borewell? Don't Drill a New One Yet! (Flushing Guide)
Scenario: It is Monday morning. Raju switches on his motor to fill the overhead tank. Suddenly, dark brown water starts gushing out. He panics, thinking his borewell has collapsed.
👨🏽🌾 Raju (Customer): "Rao Garu! Everything is finished! My borewell is pumping mud. The casing must have broken. I have to arrange ₹1 Lakh for a new borewell immediately. Can you send the rig?"
👷🏽♂️ Engineer Rao (Expert): "Raju, calm down. 90% of the time, muddy water does NOT mean the borewell is dead.
In Guntur and Mangalagiri soil, 'Silt' (fine sand) accumulates at the bottom over time. It blocks the filter mesh. Your motor is just sucking up this dirt layer. You don't need a New Drill. You need High-Pressure Air Flushing."
What is "Borewell Flushing"?
Imagine your borewell is a glass of water, and sand has settled at the bottom. Flushing is like blowing a straw into it to clear the mess.
The Process at Sagar Borewells:
- Step 1: We remove your submersible pump.
- Step 2: We lower a heavy-duty steel air pipe to the bottom (up to 1000 ft).
- Step 3: Our High-Pressure Compressor blasts air at 300 PSI.
- Result: The pressure forces all the mud, sludge, and dirty water out of the hole. We continue until the water runs crystal clear (Sweet Water).
When do you need Flushing?
| Symptom | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Water is slightly cloudy/brown. | Silt accumulation over years. | Air Flushing (Recommended) |
| Water flow has reduced (Low Yield). | Filter mesh is choked with mud. | Air Flushing + Chemical Wash |
| Big stones coming out with water. | Casing pipe might be broken. | Camera Inspection Required. |
👷🏽♂️ Engineer Rao's Verdict:
"Raju, before you spend lakhs on a new borewell, try flushing. It costs a fraction of the price and usually restores the water source for another 5-10 years.
