Someone mentioned hydro fracking in another forum. What is the process and what does it accomplish? My lawn and garden irrigation well has been in service since '76 and puts out about 10-12 gpm depending on how dry the year is. It's 31' depth and 20' to water using a 1/2 HP submersible in 5"pvc casing. I could use another 5 or so gpm output cabability so my question about fracking. I've heard of shooting a rifle down into the well so the concussion opens up clogged inlet holes. Old wives tale?
