Hey Kevin, I've been curious about whether I could gently lay schedule 80 over and onto the ground, without disconnecting each 21 foot section. I looks like you were able to lay schedule 120 over? Approximately how high was your arc at its tallest point?
@pimkevnkids8 ай бұрын
Hi Steven- I was lucky to have an uphill area to arc over onto with the pipe. On the hill above the well house I set up an A frame with 12' lumber and fed the pipe through a boat winch pulley (2" wide throat). That kept the pipe in a safe arc. You might consider buying a 20' length and bend it to the breaking point so you know how far not to push it.

Would this method work pulling 400 ft
@SplinterKarma Жыл бұрын
Yes, I believe it would, because your lift weight would be about double mine, assuming 3" PVC and a water filled line. I found my boat winch had a lot more lifting capacity than I was using. You should run a calculation on the internal volume of water at 8.5 lbs per gallon plus whatever pipe you have to estimate the load and compare to the lift capacity of your winch. Just watch that the rubber wrap on the pipe is dry and follow the knot technique carefully. Be sure to have a couple helpers- it took me all day by myself to pull 250 ft. running up on the roof and back down again.

Great idea. I'm planning to replace our well pump at about 140 feet tomorrow and have no idea what kind of pipe awaits me down there, and it's a little scary facing the unknown. Siince my biggest fear is dropping the pipe after cutting some off, your method may save the day for me. Thanks for posting this.

While a buddy and I were pulling my 1” suction pipe up by hand so I could change the foot valve and leathers, the pipe got stuck and wouldn’t budge. Using an inner tube and you rope setup, I raised my tractor bucket up over well and used a com-a-long. Still wouldn’t budge. (I didn’t force it). Poured about a half gallon of bleach in casing around suction pipe and let it soak over night. The bleach soften leathers and acts as a a slight lubricant. Next morning I had my buddy twist pipe back a forth as I tighten com-a-long. If it would bind and would not twist, I would lower it a bit so it would twist and continue to pull. About 30 minutes later, we had all 95 foot of 1” pvc out of the casing. BTW..I have pulled about 25 deep injection wells and this is the second time it has happen. After pulling up about 5 foot, one of the leathers flipped over and jam the packer to the casing. I’ve seen people try to force the 1” suction pipe before out and actually pull up the 2” casing. I hope these helps someone!😅

@ricklaczavics86542 жыл бұрын
Very nice work... and a very cool look. The only thing I would caution folks about is that when you sink a hot tub in hole or in ground type setting, it makes repairs very difficult. I've had spas at two homes for the last 20 years, and I have had to repair both on occasion. Had they been recessed in the ground, those would been pretty difficult to accomplish. On one, I had to rebuild the two speed pump... that was hard enough to get out in the open. I'm not sure how I would have done that recessed in the ground. Not hating at all, beautiful spa! Just something to keep in mind.

Thanks Rick, fair comment. There are removable wood covers on the sides where the filter and also the motor/front are. lifting those out allows a 2 ft open area on both sides down to the base of the spa.

I have to pull my pump as well. It's at 250', one person. I have gotten the pitless adapter pulled up with my T and was about to build a roller for black pipe until I realized it was all white PVC. Any reason why the well installers used pvc? I'm guessing because of the depth and pressure required to pump it up so far would put starin on the common "200 psi" black pipe?

My method is the foot of the ladder chained to the well pipe and top of ladder chained back to tree allowing top of ladder to hang just over center of well pipe. I am using a heavy duty ratchet strap and chain come along lifting the majority of the weight. I ran the 1”pvc up through top of ladder to keep in straight up but also ran the pvc over a branch of a tree to help the pvc from snapping. I’m one person pulling 240’ and couldn’t break the joints apart. With it being really cold I was only able to pull 30’ the first two days. I’m not finished but will post more,

With a long chain holding up a come along and a heavy duty ratchet strap via top rung of ladder, I was very efficient in pulling and re setting. I did end up pulling all joints apart and replaced the bad couplers connecting pvc. I used pipe dope to join back together. I also crimped, shrink wrapped, and rubber taped the connections to the well pump.

Nice video; thanks for sharing! Our patented portable technology not only allows you to build a pipe on any remote site worldwide, but you can set up the equipment on top of a well, build a continuous pipe (well casing) onsite and as the pipe is made lower it into the well. The strong and lightweight pipe will never corrode! You can make miles of pipe this way in diameters of 3-inch (75 mm) and larger. If required, the pipe can be perforated before insertion also. Please watch this video.@

Hi Anthony- Not any more than would from general exposure to the weather, because in the closed position the cover keeps the steam inside the spa. I recently pulled the deck boards and serviced the chains with grease, first time in 6 years. While everything was working they were stiff and I should have been doing it at least every couple of years.

So why did you have to pull the pump out?
@pimkevnkids3 жыл бұрын
I made the mistake of installing a 220 V Grundfoss pump that was pumping faster than my water table would backfill, even with the pump 100 ft below the waterline. It would run for 10 minutes and shut itself off. Replaced with a low flow Grundfoss solar pump that works great and keeps the tank topped off.

I would use a pipe clamp to hold the pipe in the well , and lift with a pipe dog that clamps the pipe on an upward pull. Simply lower the tubing, add a new pipe joint and lower again , clamping each time.Ropes are nice but easy to have problems. I take care of 36 wells so good tools are essential.

well that's why you rag-dry the pipe before wrapping with the rubber and the rope per the video. plus just 1/3 of the 200 ft pull greatly reduces the down weight. At 1/2 up the weight is 50/50. Got a better idea? Please post.

@pimkevnkids4 жыл бұрын
Hi Keltie- I searched my files but did not find any drawings. I did drawings to layout the cross section detail for the wheels/rails clearance, but from there it was a lot of measuring and adjusting to make it work. If you are into DIY you'll know how iterative building one-off custom projects are. Overall this it the process: A deep hole with your hot tub in it, with removable wood treads so you can service the spa (see where I step down onto wood treads in video). Cement walls on 3 sides (I used cinder blocks coated in cement. Then: 1. 0.124" x 8" steel plate rails topped with 0,375" rod, mounted to 1" spacers to stand off from the cement walls- (see in video) 2. Stainless steel V-groove gate wheels mounted to a steel frame that spans the tracks. 3. A bicycle chain ratchet system to lift/lower the spa cover (see in video) 4. Wood deck and facia boards screwed to the steel frame (I bolted wood to the steel frame so it was easier to screw the deck down). On this project I found the challenges were mostly in the elevations. First getting the hole deep enough (5' below grade) for the tub, plus a french drain under so the hole would not fill with rainwater. if you consider the top edge of the tub at grade, you dig down past your tub height, then backfill with gravel to level it out. Then above grade you plan the rolling deck with the ratchet system to move the spa cover up and down. A steel frame gives you the stiffness to support the deck and leave space for the cover to lift a few inches when rolling. If I did it over I would base the deck on a 12" height rather than the 10" in the video. I could've used a couple more inches for the movement of the cover inside. Also the rails have to be super parallel so the bearing wheels track smooth. I just used cement bolts to attach the rails to the cement walls. Hope that helps!

Another item may want to look into is a simple tool u can rent called a pipe elevator. It is one way clamp you lay across the mouth of the well. As you pull the pipe up it slips going up but cannot drop back down. Sort of a one-way clamp for pipe. That would eliminate one of the knots. I used one of those tools along with my tractor loader attached to a prusik to lift the well pipe. It came right up
