Growing up I had a well on our property and I can say there is nothing like drinking from the hose after riding our dirt bikes all day and having that clean dam near freezing water as much as you can want! The good old days LoL

[@akiyajapan]

"If you believe you can do something, I guarantee you can do it." Good parting words. Here in the Hiroshima countryside, I was just quoted over $16,000 USD for a new, full-sized, traditional style well. They said my old well is "dry" and haven't given me any other options. Considering that I have a large property in the country without any underground cables, pipes, etc, I thought "I can just put my own well in." Seeing your video and others on KZbin has shown me that it is definitely doable. Thank you!

I discovered this phenomenon on my own when I was about 6-7 years old. I would turn the garden hose on and just start pushing the end into the ground. Then, one day, I guess I pushed it a little too far and the ground "grabbed a hold" of the hose. My Dad came out and asked me, "How the heck did you manage that?!" He was furious! I mean, at least he could've admired my ingenuity, but nope. I just got grounded. Oh well. "Oh WELL"

[@chargermopar]

Looks like Florida. Same process I used 20 years ago to make a well on my lot. Went down to rock then used the Bobcat and auger to penetrate the rocks. In Hendry County the sand is often over limestone layers but if you hit one it's a great part to end your well once you penetrate. In southeast Florida you can simply pound a steel pipe in the coral rock. Removing pipe is easy with a skid steer and a flat belt (timing belt) wrapped around the pipe and lifting it.

[@mowtivatedmechanic1172]

Did you go through the limestone or stop there?

[@scottivie9428]

The well should of had the 2” line removed and some holes drilled in the bottom 5’ or so and then put back in to make a casing for the well to keep the sand from collapsing in on the 1” well pipe the the 1” should be lifted of the bottom a couple of feet so it won’t sand off over time

[@samfarrow8677]

Yes these shallow wells in Florida can sand up over time. So: 1) No reason to pull the 2 inch out . Why not drill the holes in the two inch 5 inch up when you use the two inch pipe. The only reason this would not work is - you do not have enough water jet volume or pressure. However by using a mud pump you can achieve it no problem. Just cut off the 2 inch pipe- why not

[@deanjones9426]

Works great for removing bushes as well. No need for shovel or pick. Just jet the dirt away from the root ball and throw the whole thing away.

I did what you did about 5 or 6 years ago; I drilled 30' down for about a week of messing around, with a 2" semi-trash pump, and installed a hand pump at the first water table, which is only about 15' down for me. I have an exact replica of that pump and pressure tank system you've too, but it is going on 2 years old and still in storage for backup on our other system. We use a different pump and cisterns top of a hill.

[@nelsod76]

Thanks for the video. Im about to do a wash in sandpoint for a customer and will be using a pvc style with a nozzle that adds to the tip. The nozzle has a check valve plus a 1” threaded connection inside the sand point for a barbed adapter to lightly thread into which will have a 1” rigid water line connected to my 2” water pump. Once the sand point is jetted in the barbed adapter is unthreaded via the rigid 1” line that was just used to wash it in. The check valve in the flushing nozzle tip of the sandpoint will be closed once flushing is stopped (its only job is for setting the sandpoint). Once the 1” flush line is removed from inside the 2” I will connect the 2” to the line to the pump in the house with a check valve inline and done. Water on. That’s the plan, let’s hope it goes as planned. Haha

[@russellcrawford1360]

As a professional driller and holder of several U.S. patents I can tell you how to make your drill even faster and much easier. In effect, all you have to do is build a jetting screen. You can take the well points you already have and remove the check valve from the top of the screen and move it to the bottom of the screen. That is an old process that has been used for 50 or more years. You can buy one already made if you wish. Then use your process without the need for the casing or other tools and connect it to your jetting pump. I have installed thousands of jetted wells using this method. Usually I jetted with a "jetting pump" not the small centrifugal pump you are using. It will work with your pump though. In some areas of Florida, you will encounter coral rock and your process will not work. In other areas your pump will not put out enough volume and you will lock your drill stem up in sand and gravel. Every method of drilling must be matched to the location where you are wanting a well. Your system will not work without at least a 100 hp jetting motor in dense clay or in areas of large gravel. I hope this helps you in your drilling venture. Your system will in fact be great for a large portion of people that are not looking for a professional quality well. If the idea is to risk a little money to get water, then it will fill the market. Thanks for your video.

[@thesmokewagon6302]

Was really focused and enjoyed the video. I have been contemplating doing some thing very similiar to this process and have a couple of questions. I am familiar with underground water layers and am thinking that one you had the 2” down to the level your were sure would produce water... why not pull the 2” out and insert another 2” that was perforated to allow water. Then mud pump the 2” perforated pipe to make it clean to the bottom of the hole. Once it is cleaned out, insert the 1” as shown. The 2” would then allow massive water production for the 1” pipe and greatly prolong the possibility of the 1” pipe from collecting sands against it that would slow water production after use. Basically a screen for the screen. Fine sands tend to clog a pipe like yours after some use and hinder water production. Not trying to be a know it all... just trying to learn and curious if you have considered this line of thought.

[@wesman7837]

Yes that would have been a MUCH BETTER way to do it, his "well" is going to plug up very fast!

[@freedomaintfree1030]

Why not just start out with the 2" perforated pipe and not have to pull out the original 2"? Is that an option?

[@SI-GOD]

@@freedomaintfree1030 my thought was why not do the whole shaft in schedule 40 (or 80) 4 inch pipe that you can then lower in a submersion pump attached to the output pipe. Then you can go deeper and if needed, pull the pipe back out to replace the pump when it wears out in 10 years.

Nice job. Thanks for sharing. I would suggest using male threaded adapters and female adaptors in place of the couplings on both the 2" to make it easier to pull 10' sections back out and also on the 1" in case you ever need to replace the check valve. Also if you have access to an engine puller, that really helps in pulling the 2" back up.

Your electrical cost is the same on 110v or 220v. The only difference is the amperage draw is l/2 on the 220v. There you can save on using a smaller gauge of wire depending on the load. Volts x Amps = Kilowatts is what you pay your bill on. Kilowatts is the same for both voltages.

[@louishaney8291]

Depending on distance from electrical source there could be more of a voltage drop on 120v vs 220v thereby causing volts to drop and amps to rise causing motor to accomplish less work and shorten its life.

[@jcook3707]

Lower voltage is more amps and amps is heat. Heat is wasted energy in this pumps case.

[@monadking2761]

@@jcook3707 The longer the wire the resistance goes up which creates a voltage drop on the wire which will be heat or energy loss. Amp stays the same. I=V/R. The motor will see a lower voltage which could damage it since the resistance is inversely proportional to voltage. So if you double the voltage and the current is the same you can run a smaller wire because less of a voltage drop.

Yah need a high lift jeep jack... I've even used a floor jack but high lifts are better... I can tell you a faster way to sink a well... Use a pressure pump and to sink the initial pipe as far as you can, lower in a small diameter pipe, even a quarter inch will do, attache a compressor with tank, turn on the air in bursts... But don't forget to hang onto the both pipes ... If not you might have to go chase them down as they will fly out of the ground... Anyway the mud, water and stones will fly out as well, also between the burst the remaining water/mud slams back down the pipe and further breaks up the bottom of the well which causes a cavity to further draw water out of increasing the volume of water.

As a well driller in the UK I thought I would just share my opinion. Firstly well done I’m surprised you got as far as you did! Lol u should have used the 2” pump connected to the top of the 2” pipe and let the water rise out through the 4” pipe, that would have started to clear the sand, that circulation method you used won’t have done anything...

I like the way you explain in great detail how to start an engine. Because people who don’t know how to do that should definitely be undertaking a project like this. /sarc

[@michakibler6730]

Always gotta be one of you people out there that just has to get your rude comment in ... the fact that you zero in on such a petty little detail just says you're looking for something to be a prick about... what are you a teenager? You are the one watching him for information. You have alot to learn from this man besides the subject at hand you have a big leap before you reach any level of respect in his class. It's not common these days to see people like him that are genuine and know who they are. He is his own character... secure... giving his time to help people... then somebody like you had to come up and say something stupid about something stupid to pick on his character. God gives us the freedom to be who we want to be... we either follow him and seek understanding and righteousness or we don't and are therefore useless and destructive... to be cast out... Ones that do find their way to call upon the name of the Lord... He changes hearts... gives wisdom liberally for good and charity... there is no other name under Heaven given among men whereby we must be saved and His name is Jesus.

Look at it as quick refresher info. And, when did sarcasm really help anyone? That's sort of negativity just feeds into a shame-based society, keeping the people you like to taunt ignorant, uninformed and incapable so you can taunt them further. What Chuck is trying to do is put The cookies on the bottom shelf 😅. Thanks Chuck!

@@RJCooper2 LOL, and this somehow negates the clear truth of what I said? Hint: No, it doesn't. I mean it's commendable on some level that you come to the defense of your fellow morons, but that too does not reduce the truth of my comment. Sorry! :-)

Well looks nice. Not sure if that pump should run for an hour straight. Most home user motors have maybe half on half off requirement. Pumps, compressors etc. The cooling is not designed to keep it cool enough for extended runtime. It may be fine on outside surface, but heat creep on the bearings and other innards can brake it real fast.

[@steveboyer3556]

Very cool video. You made the job look fun. I’m game someone hold my beer. One suggestion for pulling the 2” would be t either use a hi lift off road jack to go faster easier. Or with the hydraulic auto jack use different lengths of a stout material like board or pipe to increase the range of lift. Using a longer piece as the jack requires. I think my water level is around ten to 15 ‘ a pump in the garden would really make it easier saving wear and tear on the main well pump in the house.

I don't need well water to drink but I came because I want to add geothermal cooling to my home. Ground water below six feet is a constant 55 degrees and can be used for free/cheap Air Conditioning. Pump it up and let gravity return it near the top of the well and it will naturally recirculate. Then pump it through an A/C coil in your furnace. When your A/C thermostat calls for cooling, it turns on a pump instead of the normal condenser which uses a ton of electricity. If one well is not enough, place a second well 12 feet away and have valves switch them out by temperature automatically so you always have cold water.

Have you ever tried dowsing rods? You can make your own and I've watched people use them and find water. It was just a thought but personally I think you could dig deep enough anywhere you'll find water.

@@stevengerhardt1221 I found where to dig my dug well with dowsing rounds. Even just for fun try them, get 2 metal coat hangers, cut them and bend them into an L, hold the short ends in your hands loosely with the long ends extended forward and walk around. You'll be surprised at how much they will move. I dug my well where the rods crossed worked out sweet.

Interesting use of the drain snake on the pressure washer. I've used my PW to install a large number of metposts (3 or 4ft metal stake which you would normally hammer into the ground whilst trying to keep them vertical in 2 planes!) Using just my PW, I can build a simple jig to keep the jet perfectly vertical whilst I bore a 4ft hole in less than a minute. The metpost then simply pushes into the muddy hole. With the 4x4 posts, that last few inches of metpost is persuaded in by simply standing on it! I managed to sink a 12' scaffold pole using the same method, the PW created the first 4' whilst the toothed edge I created managed to dig the rest using a simple oil filter removal chain (I didn't have a large enough stilsons / monkey wrench to grip the pole). Just wish I had known that my drain snake would've worked.

Unfortunately where we are in Ontario, Canada there is way too much rock of all sizes left over as the Glaciers melted after the last Ice age or it's thick clay or shale rock. Great video... I've enjoyed them all and in a few weeks I need to run a French drain or two to stop our yard from flooding everytime we get heavy rain or when the snow melts in the spring.

To build anything in Florida commercial construction companies just an air jet nozzle on the end of pipe, then add a suction pump to drain the area of water where they plan to dig.
