You have a gift in how you narrate what you’re doing as it occurs. I’ve in home renovations (self employed) for 45 years and still will sit and watch what someone do their craft. Your father taught you well and you’ll keep this going and growing for many years to come.

[@spelunkerd]

You're a natural in front of the camera. Great teacher.

[@h2omechanic]

Thanks! I've got more videos coming.

[@mikes1345]

It is funny how good that pressure tank is holding for its age! My son is building a house soon a several months from now. After seeing the waiting list around here and watching your videos i have advised him to get on a list as soon as he is finalized where exactly he is building the house and get a quality driller who can easily communicate what he needs and how to maintain it. Im gonna go watch and see what it looks like in person. I'm retired and seeing tradesman perform theirs skills is better time spent than watching TV. Watching equipment do the tasks needed is fascinating to me.

[@h2omechanic]

I hope your son finds a good driller and it doesn't take too long.

[@remote1426]

Hello from the Philippines! Yes, you are world famous 😂 I have learned so much from watching your videos. Priceless knowledge and I thank you for sharing.

[@tompinnef6331]

I've had to 'hunt' for your videos. They don't 'pop' up like they use to. So I hunt for them. Thank you for the video.

[@5thGenNativeTexan]

check that your notifications are turned on (the little bell beside the Subscribe button). I was both Subscribed and had "All" notifications turned on, but for some reason it got changed and I had to turn them back on.

[@tonywestvirginia]

Your jobs are always "Well" done!

[@paull.drownjr.5477]

I really enjoy your videos. You are such a good communicator and you are very good at well drilling. Keep up the great work and keep the videos coming!!!

[@DauntlessDefender214]

I have really come to appreciate your channel. I hope to be moving out of NY in the next 4 to 5yrs and we have city water. I have been able to learn from you enough about wells that when I move I will be able to recognize any problems that may exist. Also I think that I should be able to properly maintain a well now. Thank you for sharing.

[@Docbob630]

Thought I knew a fair amount about wells, then came across your videos. Learning a LOT more now, and I like it! Thumbs up on all your vids and subscribed.

[@jimharmon3404]

How blessed we are here to have public water directly from the Great Lakes! Our "well" will never run dry! You face many challenges to provide your customers with good quality water.

[@transmitterguy478]

Phillip, we want to to see every service call you do, your that special. Great job as always.😄

[@apetro8895]

One of my favorite channels. Always excited to see a new post. You have the perfect personality for this and always explain what and why. Merry Christmas!❤💪🇺🇸

[@improvateer]

I have always been fascinated with drilling. Thank you for making the videos educational and entertaining at the same time.

[@patrickb5656]

When I was a young 18yop in 1978, I worked at a quasi farm supply place that dealt in well pumps and had a repair shop. I did order picking, and I was in and out of it all the time. It always amazed me to see one of those pumps 100% disassembled on a work bench. So many impellers. So complicated to me. So I know what you are talking about with the number of stages. When I read the tile, I thought yay, he is going to rebuild one.

[@kevinhoober1863]

great job taking care of them!

[@elrobo3568]

When it's really cold we can run ground water under our citrus trees so the oranges won't freeze. the ground water is always under freezing. In Arizona we are allowed to exceed our draw to keep the crops safe.

[@MikeF1189]

Tank is good because the bladder was never stressed from a weak pump.

[@reese8752]

I hate poor quality work. Glad there are honest people around to clean up after them.

[@DaveBooth-qs7sw]

others shouldn’t have to tidy up After the last person made a hash of things ! There’s nothing worse than a know it all & still does a shocking job! I was forever repairing pumps & systems after someone else botched the complete job! You know who got all that future work in & around that area! The one that completed a nice tidy job & didnt over charge the customer!

[@grahamstretch6863]

A comment for the algorithm! We don’t have many (or any?) wells here, but I still find your content interesting.

[@davidburchfield2720]

Great job buddy some people don't understand thing's !!

[@irunwire8528]

Another good video, have learned a lot from all your videos. Not to bad for an electronics technician.

[@randallhoover2410]

It has to do with something with KZbin! You’re not the only channel I watch that that’s happened to! Enjoy your videos!!

[@DariaM00re]

Just putting my comment contribution in, keep it up, love the videos, absolutely love seeing the life of well drilling, wish it was more common where I live, looks like something i'd enjoy doing

[@needhelp2453]

Thanks for another great video!

[@sakomeow]

Learn a lot about wells from this channel. My last relative just got hooked up to city water - all of this would've been great for us to know 10 or 20 years ago with our myriad of well problems onn the farm. Looks like you coulda sorted us out in an afternoon.

[@DanielHill01]

Good job, commenting to help the algorithm! You do have a gift to explain things in easy to understand terms. Thanks for making the video.

[@arlynsmith9196]

Thank you so much for taking the time to make the videos.

[@Flash1857]

We find your content interesting, never had a well. But am prepared for town water filtering ha ha

[@Chuck_S]

Your videos have sure helped me to understand my well and water system. Now I'm hooked

[@gkeyman565]

may be short but still good video, good info, and notes on things that can be wrong from other people working on the wells you encounter. have a great day

[@oldmuppet191]

At least the water wasn't as dark as the "Oil Well" in one of your earlier videos. I've recently started working for a water plant installer doing controls on large wells (20,000 home large). I was a bit surprised to find most of the wells I'm working on have big iron/manganese filters, very few are just a borehole pump, but then I'm new to this Some boreholes bring up other minerals you would not want to drink and so we fit other filters as well as Fe/Mn. I also see a growing problem on farm land, decade's of chemical fertiliser is now starting to come up the pipe from deep below so again more filters. From where I'm sat testing and picking suitable filters is going to be needed more and more.

[@hapaboy0808]

We just got a well. It's 440 deep at 4gpm. My driller installed a 1hp 10gpm pump. I was concerned that the pump gph is too much for the flow rate of my well. I asked the pros on Reddit and they all said it's fine.

[@OldGeezerstoolbox]

This is a good one--individual aspects have been covered in other videos but they are together here and show the difference between a company that is working to make long-term satisfied customers vs a company that is looking only at selling today's job.

[@EvolDan7676]

Gotta hit that like button every time! I appreciate all the info you put in your videos and I've learned a lot from you. Thank you!

[@robertkayhs2049]

This particular video has given me pause in my respect for ...plumbers, as you described the mistakes and lazy cheats the plumbers did on this well and homeowner. Keep doing what you are doing. The world is a little better with each well. Thanks.

[@donrozwick7367]

thanks for sharing and giving tips

[@gtb81.]

got the same brand tank from 85, still good

[@stanwooddave9758]

It's the funniest, seeing a tall man fit into a small basement, like putting Sardines in a can. Thanks for sharing.

[@thr8061]

Growing up (back in the 70s) on a NE Wisconsin dairy farm, my dad worked with the neighbor's well drilling crew in the winter to make extra money. They drilled wells all year round. He told stories of them using torches on the trucks' diesel fuel tanks & engine blocks/oil pans to heat them up! They even drilled when it was -20 F !

[@lonesomelenny7606]

We're gonna need a bigger boat, I mean pump. You have a unique job skill and the forethought to determine and resolve a problem. I appreciate the video.

[@CharlesMathews1]

Greetings from all the way across the county in South Hill. Keep up the great work. Always enjoy your videos.

[@thedirtprincess3293]

Commenting fir the algorithm. Wish I could pick your brain about an old well at our house but otherwise grateful for your channel!

[@kenadams2799]

Love the info I’ve learned from you I put a well Troll tank in my moms house in 1992. Now I live in the house and the tank is still charged to 28 lbs. I see you having to replace tanks much newer. I did replace the pump 1 year ago. Well is 45 feet and I put the 1/2 horse in at 35. Never runs out and keeps 2 sprinklers running ata time. The well was Putin I 1959. Thank you for your videos. I always look forward to them.

[@firemedic2572]

[@drkoontz]

Throwing in a comment for the algorithm gods :) Keep those videos coming !

[@freddystewart882]

Hey man I enjoy you're video's. I've always wanted to know how and what a well is. Your video's demonstrate all the things I've always wanted to know in a language I can understand... Keep going.. Please don't stop making video's. I've learned a ton in a the last few hours of finding your channel.

[@maestrovso]

This one single video is packed with so much golden information for a homeowner like me. You make it really easy to understand. These folks are so lucky to have a well guy with integrity and professionalism.

[@jeffgarner3178]

My Well guy installed a OXY3 Iron Reduction system From Franklin Water Treatment 2 years ago for $2700 and our water has been tasting great and doesn't stink like rotten eggs anymore and we don't get the rust stains. I plan to install one of your pumps soon as we talked in January this year I think. My well is 400 + deep water static at 125 +/- feet and my pump at 235 ft. I want to drop a new pump down to around I guess 300+ feet with a soft start Pump to run my new Ecoflow Delta Pro Ultra 6000 Watt backup whole house power system.

[@TalRohan]

some very useful info there thankyou for sharing ..

[@craigwalker6513]

Your Honesty and knowledge will take you a long long way very successfully.

[@itsmatt2105]

I LEARNED SEVERAL THINGS HERE!

[@victormarinelli5660]

Thank you, H2O

[@jonathannorthup5705]

Always look forward to watching your vids bud even tho I don't have a well where I live!😂 My dad worked at the local water district where I grew up and I have always enjoyed learning about this stuff!

[@mikeanderson6522]

Nice job.

[@Mr1forthefun]

Never had a well but I find your videos interesting and like watching them.

[@wallacefrey6247]

It's more fun putting it in then it is pulling it out to.

[@Keith_Mikell]

Always go over 10m if you didnt know that already. Great work. Massive growth too!

[@thelamb288]

Wishing you and yours all the very best for Christmas. Cheers.

[@josephdennison7077]

I really like your videos, and this was a good one.

[@72chargerse72]

You are a rockstar

[@PelicanIslandLabs]

Cool vid.............. I bet that original 1/2 hp pump delivered under 2GPM.

[@jg6142]

Another fine job

[@LeePatCab]

That was a good service call

[@tomschmidt381]

Interesting repair video as always. One thing I wish you had mentioned since you removed 30 feet of down pipe is why was the pump set so deep and what is the static water level in the well?

[@johnjr3870]

This video make me feel so much better about my 1hp pump for my 400ft well. Head is 200 though and filling a tank vs on demand.

[@timothyobrien1850]

My pump is , well let's just say some number of years old. Watching you work sure makes me a lot more comfortable about pulling the pump next spring. Thank you. I think my pump is about 60 feet down and I hope to have substantial water pressure in the shower after replacement. Does anyone have a pump suggestion? As I recall it is a 220 v pump. Yea sure I could walk downstairs and take a quick look at the breaker box but I think I'll put that off for a bit. All the best

[@Ned-p1y]

Thanks for the class

[@Tony-z4h3o]

Great content as usual! Really hoping for a video with the new 5t crane you set up a while back!

Good service

[@bige5107]

Great job love the content !

[@lotusrepair1439]

Keep up the videos... we are learning or at least I am. Retired commercial contractor that never had to install a well. Info for future video.... how do your brass fittings stand up to acidic water?

[@Jedward108]

Good man. It would be fun to be part of your crew.

[@guyestes3735]

Thank you for your time

[@josierafert2504]

I just moved into my great grandparents house. They still have a pump house set up. This summer we replaced the well pump because the water was not coming on. Come find out it was a corroded wire running down alongside the pump. It is a submersible pump. It has been cold lately and due to the terrible pump set up in the building falling down we have been running a heater out there. The water has frozen a little bit, but once I put a small ear on the line, it is up and running in less than 15 minutes. Today the water would not kick on it all at first we thought that lines were just froze when I went out to the pumphouse there was zero pressure on the pressure gauge and the breaker was flipped. I have a switch that does not have the handle. So I turned the breaker back on and tried to flip the switch. The boys have checked the wire to make sure they are all getting power and apparently the ones coming from the breaker box to the switch are fine, but there is no power getting to the pump from the wire from it. Bought a new switch we re-tried the same process and it would not work. We even tried emptying the bladder tank and refilling it with air refilling it with air was taking quite a long time. We are currently taking a break. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

[@akefayamenay104]

Love your content! Thank you for putting these out.

[@ChaseLogeman]

You learn much by seeing what to do, you learn more by seeing what not to do.

[@wandzilla1391]

Great work. Love the videos

[@RhythmGamer]

I have noticed your video were not showing up. It’s good that that video from a few days ago popped up.

[@richardarant428]

Great job learn something new today keep on keepin on !

[@Lawnmower-os5pg]

Great video !!!

[@imark7777777]

For a while there I haven't been able to watch but it did seem like the algorithm wasn't recommending it even though I am subscribed.

[@Tomkayanja]

Keep up the good work. Hopefully it warm up soon for you crack on with what you do best..

[@monoralph1375]

Shocking a plumber would hang the pump and down pipe on plastic fittings. I am a believer on using the best materials available.

[@w4gle1963]

Keep em coming!

[@michaelanthonyburkeyared1429]

good too know!

[@SteveSeligman-p8n]

Good job 👍👍👍

[@jamescomics1066]

When you were talking about the tank being bad. What would cause air in the lines after replacing the pump, line and tank

[@erikja1]
