We do it with a front end loader as well. We've got at least 300 m of piping, so it takes an eternity to raise and lower.

Its the rat race of time vs money, whichever cheaper wins.

Well, pip-pip, cherri-O and all that rot, ya know. lol Ya-all come back here, ya know?

Thank You for your input. I think it was better than the video.

Let me ask a question: Is 75psi too high for residential piping? Is a constant pressure pump better? Would u install a 'manual' pump also as back up? Are there filters that can be put on pump to prevent debris pick up from well to pump? Thanks

Not true.. Its more like, men like him don't want deal with most of you anymore. Reasons galore.

Hope mine does too! Lol

John Stryker ---He doin it right👍

How did it turn up ? You had to re drill it eh?

Correct! Had to re-drill a new well, unfortunately.

@@ooakiny Thanks for the response eh.. Hope it worked out for you.

Depends on how much water the well puts out- you put the pump far enough under the water so it won't suck down

I will be happy to know as well. Kindly support by subscribing kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g86jlMJonbvSqnU.htmlsub_confimation=1

Always have 20% more tube/casing dia than the inserting object.

Goodness gracious 800 ft. , 1/4 gallon per minute , I feel for you my friend . I just had a well done in southern Mo. highlands , driller was telling me he just did a well In Arkansas 700 ft. 4 gallon a minute , I thought that was sad , mine went 310 ft. at 20 gal a minute , metal casing with a sch. 40 PVC liner , hit bedrock at 160 ft. , 9400 bucks , you can bet I was glad when that was over . wore me out and all I did was watch .Ha!

***** Hi ya neighbor ! Not likely you could ' DIG ' it yourself , the ground around here is way to rocky and hard and you might hit a gigantic boulder then what ?. Even my garden beds are all raised beds , which is really not a big deal . How deep ? Varies I am at 1475 ft. above sea level ,which is pretty elevated ,I am on the Ozark Highlands , my neighbor 3/4 mile to the south is just under 400 ft deep . Best to hire a rep-ital well driller , be careful though you can get scammed real easy !!!!!!!!! My well was pretty pricey but I went the extra mile so to speak, with a double well casing , be mindful well drillers usually only drill the well , meaning they will not do any trenching or backhoe work you are responsible for that being said you have to arraign for a backhoe to run the water line to install tank elect ect . or you will not be able to check if you well even works .Best to budget 10,000 $ and hope it works out less , I budgeted 7500 and it went 9400 plus back hoe work ! Hope this helped you out . Happy trails !

Bigelow Brook Farm (Web4Deb) I actually wish my 80' wells were plastic, as they would not rust.

mandewey3456 Most the wells here are 80/120 ft deep total they can produce normally 35 to 350 gpm. We're sitting on the largest water table in the state.

***** depend on how close to the water you are. Some people here dug the wells about 45' by hand.

I was just thinking, young dudes or dudeetts would be smart to get into the well water biz. and here you are. good for you man, it sounds like your enjoining it.

If it does disconnect it's usually still connected to the wire so you have a chance of pulling it up. If not there are fishing tools that allow you to hook on to the pump and retrieve it

South Carolina tags on the well truck.

No one uses those stand offs. Out of the 21 years I've been doing it I've never seen them on an install

The only time I've seen rubbed wire is when someone sets the pump below the casing into the rough lime rock

+Ira Hays Those were all threaded pipes. No glue just Teflon pipe dope on the threads.

That was clearly mentioned in the video

We don't use pipes like that, We use poly makes it a lot easier to maintain later down the line

+Daedalus2801 but then are you still able to put in those check valves every however many feet?

We put the check valves on the top of the pump

The rig looks like a 5t smeal pump hoist. They are quite popular and I'm guessing there are thousands out there now. The company is now called Hunke Manufacturing.

Trey clark ten foot is the normal from bottom in these parts, wells are very shallow he most only 80' hitting water at 20'

Big Will every 200 ft is pretty average

yes that's what he is saying. water will weigh considerable when pumped long distances and it can actually break the pipe if sufficient check valves are not installed.

7 years is a damn good length of time...

@@AdamSahr-cj4kf not really, should get 20

@@AdamSahr-cj4kf you are advised to remove pump at least every 2 years for inspections and observations.

+Ray_Biker I don't have that problem. Just go with the PVC and you should be fine.

Yes pic deep set pipe sch 120 is best and ss nipples to use

Reverse problem here in the southwest with Colorado River water and alkalinity. Same result though, even with copper.

That's 5"

Threaded PVC pipe lengths, male 1 end, female the other... NOT glued connections! The black rubber diamond was a torque arrestor, to absorb any twisting of the pump on each startup. I prefer to use continuous length poly pipe coils though... No junctions to fail.

@@Scentsational The only problem with continuous poly pipe coils is that they are not strong enough to use in a really deep well. My well is 300 feet and I was told the poly pipe was not strong enough.

Just going over a few of the technicals of your application, there is head water pressure of 0.43 psi per vertical foot. So a depth of 480 ft * 0.43psi = 206.4 psi static pressure (static pressure is water not moving and filling the vertical 480 ft pipe) I don't know the outlet size of your pipe, but a schedule 40 one inch diameter pipe maximum operating pressure is 270 psi. Your static load is 206.4 psi without the pump even engaged. Depending on the hp of your pump motor, the pump has to against a 206.4 psi load and then put enough energy into a 480 ft static column of water and get it moving. Also you have to add the additional load from the water holding pressure tank which might be 60- 100 psi just on its own. So with static pressure of 206.4 psi + pressure tank of 60 psi = 266.4 psi. So if your maximum operating pressure on a 1" line is 270 psi (a bigger diameter pipe is even lower, for example 1.5" = 198 psi ) you are just starting to move the water with an operating pressure that is 99% of maximum operating pressure and that is the static load only. And just like a industrial motor starting, you have to put in more energy to overcome the inertial mass of the motor and friction loads before you are up to running speed. That initial starting torque can be 200% more than the continuous running speed. In your case, trying to move a 480 ft column of water with pipe friction losses of 500Ft or more from your pump to your house into a 60 psi holding tank might put momentary pressures on that bottom pipe of 700 psi or more. Plus, the water itself gets heated up from all that pump work being done on moving that water, so the bottom of your well pipe schedule 40 pipe will be weaker from any temperature increase than the top of the well. Sorry for the long reply...but my hunch is you are operating well in excess of your maximum operating pressure and the plastic pipe is swelling from this excessive pressure. You need metal pipe in that bottom section to handle the pressures.

biire4u thanks for the reply. I dont mind putting a metal pipe, but if i do that, i am frightened that it might get rusty on a long run and must not cut so that the pump will fall off or get caught inside the bore well. Is there anything else that you might suggest?

also there should be wire guides every 15 feet...

+romdos11 Nah the simple pump is a deep well hand pump with a piston cylinder in the water. You drive it with the long handle above ground through a rod that connects in a supply line down in the water. The Braided line that's connected is a bypass, when out of power you could open a faucet in the house and pump water from the simple pump.

call a licensed plumber that works on well systems...

I've seen them last anywhere from 6months to 50 years depending on how they were treated. Tank being properly sized, tank having the right amount of air whether it's a diaphragm, bladder or standard tank. But average life span is around 12 years

that is a torque arrestor

+Abdul Ibrahim Check what your electric requirements are 110/220 and you will be able to get what you need.

The meter you used in the beginning of the video

They do have distance limitations depending on the model. They can also have some interference issues depending on the pipe/casing used in the hole. The only other thing I don't know is if they would need calibrated to go through gas instead of air. I don't know if sound travels the same in both. I would talk to a dealer to find out more if you're interested.

I agree, seems it's easier to take out also
