If you get down into blue clay, get yourself some "clay cutter". It's a additive to put into the water, that breaks down the clay. We use it in hdd. Works like a charm. Or you can use the less expensive but way more messy but also way more fun option and just use dishsoap.

What happens when the check valve spring rusts and breaks?
@BadHomeownerКүн бұрын
Then you replace it. No big deal. That's one reason why I like putting the check valve at the *TOP* of the well pipe instead of the bottom.

Very nice. I have an old artesian well with a pump from the 70s that doesn't work anymore. We have been on county water since they put a line in the neighborhood in the late 2000s. Going to put a new pump on it for watering the lawn around the house. One thing you should do, tag your well casing. With the date, depth, and GPM it produces. When you get old and grey it will be useful information for the next person if it's still producing.

In florida I have the problem of female pvc connections with male brass fittings break the pvc fitting over time, even schedule 80, no matter how careful I am not to overtighten. I found that the way to do these types of connections is to always transition with a female brass fitting to a male pvc fitting/adapter/etc., though never used the steel reinforced pvc connectors. That's a nice hack.

The comments are full of two kinds of people: People who heard things a professor said who have very little actual experience in water or water treatment and are geologists and not water professionals. Then folks who are scared of tap/well water because they are backwoods conspiracy morons who read a scary article one time sponsored by a water filter company. Both don’t know shit. Consult your local water treatment experts. There is nothing wrong with tap water. There are trace amounts of everything in everything. The ground filters water (yes, you should still treat it) and unless you live next to a weapons manufacturer or a battery plant you can probably drill a well (depending on your water table). The door handles you all touch on a daily basis are more dangerous than any properly kept well or water system in America as a general rule.

for anyone else trying this for drinking water, you really shouldn't use PVC for drinking water. PVC is toxic and it leeches into the water over time. all the "well pump PVC" stuff like the well point he uses are meant for things like sprinklers and irrigation like he says. Go with stuff that is rated for drinking water. It will be more expensive but your pregnant wife will thank you

@ChickensAndGardening5 күн бұрын
This was very cool to watch, even though I don't need a well. Our house sits on top of an underground stream, at the bottom of a hill, and a basement sump system pumps about 5 gallons of clear cold water every 10 minutes; a PVC pipe leads it down to the bottom of our property where it drains into a ditch and eventually into the town sewers. I have no idea how this was permitted; it was like this when we bought the house and we didn't ask any questions. Anyway, we don't drink the water but it's handy for irrigation and filling a big tub for cold outdoor baths during the very hottest part of the summer. Sooner or later I'll have the water tested and if it's clean, I'll use it to flow water through the coop so the chickens will have a near-constant flow of fresh, cold water and I won't need to be cleaning and refilling a bucket every 3-4 days!
