Hi Jason,

Have you had your water tested? That might tell you where your problem is at. Have you measured your static head?

If the screen is plugged, I don't think 100psi will do much good. You might want to consider using a pressure washer with a "T" nozzle head.

We have deep wells here, 500ft plus, couple at 1000ft, and we had a company try to convence us to pressure hydrocrack the casing below static head to increase well production.

They use a rubber plug that swells to fit the casing then add water then add 2000psi too 3000psi. The water is replaced as the water level drops in the casing. The hydraulic pressure is suppose to fracture the water existing viens so they produce more water.

Our well just wasn't a big producer and it wouldn't have helped us. For known producer that may have helped.

You also might want to do a net search for how a pipe bailer is made as you could have to bail the crud that gets knocked loose. There simple to make. Nothing more than a big check valve.
