OK here is what I done. The problem was silt in the well like yours but a different cause. You well is very new is why there is so much silt, my problem was the well is very old.
I have a very good drilled well, 65 ft. But there is an old dug well 14" concrete casing. I found the bottom at about 30 ft and about 8 ft water and recovered very slow. I wanted to use the old well to irrigate with it. By probing I found that it was much deeper. So I made a lash up deal to suck out silt I used a semi trash pump to suck out the silt. The pump is a 4in with 10hp engine 14000 gph at 0 head. So big volume of water. I to 2 1.5 in plastic pipes clamped them together sent them down the well one pipe was a sucker and one was tapped into the punp outlet so that I had a jet to knock the silt loose. The other pipe sucked it up. I bled of 1/2 of the outlet to the ground. It took a couple of days work to get it clened out but I found the true bottom at 60 ft. Now from pump irrigation water for sometime now the water is clear as glass. My be a little harder for your well but I would just run another pipe down put a good sized pump on it and just pump the well hard to clear it out. Just air blasting will not remove the junk, that only forces the stuff back into the ground where when the water flows it will carry all that lose stuf back. Your house dosent pump enough to carry the junk out fast enough. Pumping for years may never do that with a small pump.

I think you need to keep drilling..... .and case to solid rock..... You need a stream that comes through the rock so you don't have such a silt problem.....

Just my opinion.....good luck!
