I have searched and searched for the hole digger you're using. I can't find them. Please provide a link I can order one. I have a well that has concrete slender walls that was filled in before I bought the house. I have dug it out by hand approximately 12 feet. Now getting difficult to haul the dirt out by myself. A digger such as you have, could lift the dirt out without me going down the hole as much. I must be getting close to breaking through to the water table, the hole never fills with rain and it's maybe 200 yards from Lake "O" The Pines. Tried filling it from garden hose and it drains as fast as it goes in. Thank you in advance for your time and help.

We wound up with a lush lawn when all the neighbors might as well have had xeriscapes.

Coming from someone who does this for a living here's some advise to anyone who does this: If you can find or make a screen at the bottom of the well with small enough holes or slots to put 10-20 filter sand in you will get better clearer water. Putting at least a foot of sand below and setting the well deeper could help recharge with a longer screen. The most important tip I have is if it is being consumed by you or any animal, get it tested at a lab to ensure there is no hydrocarbons or heavy metals.

Nice idea and looks great. An interesting addition to the backyard. However, I'd probably go for a catch tank to collect the rain run off from my home's roof. A couple of those 250 gallon plastic rain harvesting tanks sold by my local tractor supply store would do the job. Put one under each rain spout and build it up on a 48 inch high stand so you can hook a garden hose to the bottom of it. Rains a lot down there in Georgia. A good size roof should be able to collect several hundred gallons from just one heavy rain storm. My wife prefers rain water for the plants in her greenhouse, says its better for them.

Rather than omit the foot valve, you could possibly drill a 1/16" hole in your 1.25" pipe just below the frost line. The hole would be small enough to have no effect on the pumping action yet would self-drain to just below the frost line in a short amount of time. So instead of pumping water from 15+ feet, you're only pulling from 2-3'. Just a thought... ;-)

FYI - You can rent a hand auger, with flights. They hook together with quick release so you don't need a bunch of threaded rods and couplers. Then you can just return it when you're done. You can use a 2.5 - 3 inch bucket, go down to water (assuming you're not in a place with water hundreds of feet deep) and then put your well in. You can buy a series of well screen and casing, so you don't have to use any chemicals to seal the well, place it in the hole, then use 10/20 silica sand (play sand will work in a pinch) as a filter pack material over the screen. Grout the casing in place and then you won't get water from the surface to run down the well hole and into the well screen as it rains. That can really screw your well pad up if it erodes under it. You should develop the well properly to get all the silt and sand out and then it'll flow nice and clean. Shallow table wells are pretty simple (location dependent) and you can get a good amount of production from them.

I drill water wells for a living in central Washington. Some here are 60 to 120 feet but if you go 50 mile farther east they average 450. Many 750 the deepest i have went is 1150 with a 20 inch bore. Almost didn't get the hammer and sub adapter back. The weight of the hammer sub and all the drill rod was more than the main hoist could lift. But with the help of a 6000 pound winch we were able to get it out.

I might have gone with that foot valve. 17 feet is awfully deep. Wouldn't expect any freezing at the bottom. You could always install a drain valve lower to the ground so you can bleed it in the winter so it has room to freeze without busting. Or alternatively you can't run your lines in pex. They're harder to bust than pvc.

Great work! One thing I would look to improve is the length of the pump spout. It would be nice to have it a foot longer, and tilted downward, so that the water being extracted does not fall on to the pump, and the pump wooden basement.

I am a hydrogeologist working for a borehole drilling company in my Country. I can say this guy has tried but those perforations made in that pipe to let in water are large enough to allow silt to enter the well. The typical diameter for the holes shouldn't exceed 1mm. Its normal for the water to be turbid for sometime thats why we normally carry out what we call test pumping for 24hrs continously until the water is clear. But I like your work👍
