dirty filters after new submersible well pump

Hi

Had a new submersible well pump installed 9 days ago. Now house water is clear but the water filter gets way dirtier than usual. Since installed we have used lotsa water for house and sprinklers.

Do I just keep waiting for things to settle down? Or must I do something?

Thank you.

Until everything settles down you could still be getting a lot of sand/dirt. Just keep the filter clean it should clear up soon. Hopefully the pump isn't too close to the bottom of the well stirring things up.
