What to do if the check valve in the well lets water through?

Hello! Tell me what can be done if there is an inch non-return valve in the well and it passes water. Every time an old man climbs into a hole where a pump is installed and it is already very difficult to fill in the water. He pulled out the pipe and changed it to a new check valve, but the problem remained.

Maybe there are filters on the check valve so that it does not suck dirt and sand? Thanks for the answer.

    Most likely the pump is too low and draws in particles of soil from the bottom of the well, after which they fall into the check valve. I advise raising the pump a little higher if possible, but clean the inside of the valve first.
