Today’s clients are well informed and it is correct to be concerned with new up and coming business as they may not be around years from now.

This is a leading contributor to well underperformance and well failure. Companies selling 4 inch or 4 1/2 inch will try to convince clients that it is just as good as a 5 inch ID well.

A reoccurring problem is …

I send my driller out to see what he could do, as he was in the area already. When we got there, we discovered that she had a new osmosis system installed the previous year. Strangely when she called the local guy to assist with a failing well, he sold her a 10,000 system that was unusable…
