Answer 1

County or college extension agency will test it for you. I think you can buy a kit at Lowes, Home Depot, etc.

Answer 2

Mine did that awhile back .*knocks wood* The folks that put in the pipes, used plastic pipe from the metal ones that had ran from the pump in the basement to the well itself....down to the foot valve.It had a small hole in it causing water to run down the side of the well.That caused the water to move around in the well and stir up dirt.Thus making dirty dingy looking water come out.I hope this helps.We have a dug well and it was FAIRLY easy to get to , to replace.
