On Water Well Jobs, Get the Most Out of a Gravel Pack

When you start the air, several things happen at once. The first air raises the water level in the well, and forces water out through the swab into the gravel pack. This turbulence tends to surge the gravel and help wash the wall cake in. It also loosens the fine sand in the gravel pack and any loose formation sand in the pack, and brings them in.
