There is not one on KZfaq that we have respected more than you. That is saying a lot. My question is why would you mess with perfection? How do you know that what you're using now is no better than duck tape? We've never seen you use the shrink tubing. How do you know that's not any better than Dr. Ray in the long run? Do you plan on coming out and checking the well once a year to see how it's holding up? I feel angry at you right now. This is Peggy not Tom. I have supported you With every video going back to the very beginning. Check yourself before you wreck yourself.

Greetings from Montana. The items you sent me worked out great. Pump install went smooth.

Looks like it works great but i think the wheel pull thing could have used some large circle spacers next to the rubber wheel to prevent the wire from jumping track and getting jammed/damaged on the cross bolt. Have a great day

I like your videos clear out in the California Wine Country. My story .... I inherited my parents ranch. Barely surviving on 300 gallons of quickly drying up spring water. My ancestors refused to """waste money """ going for a """Dry hole""" well........... I hit a whopper 45 gallons a minute. Now Pumping 50,000 gal a day with static level constant at 83 feet. Whereas pump is set at 360 feet. I cried for hours after it was drilled looking into the sky.. .

Very informative video young man , well done!

I now see the carrot that all the drillers in my area use... The local drillers all only use PVC drop pipe for job security, knowing most DIYers won't attempt pulling PVC drop pipe because it requires a lifting mechanism/crane.

great idea. no sticks of pvc/ faster and easier

That pump with the 3 wings on looks like a torpedo ! Great video as usual Thanks

I ordered their "wheel tool" a week ago - we'll see how it goes with 1.25" poly this weekend!

I have Wellhose on my pump in my well. Works great. 😎

This stuff is literally lay-flat hose sized down. Been using that stuff on construction sites for 20 years lol. Great for pumping out dig sites and dugouts.

Cool. I like innovation. Let see if it hold up.

Another awesome video!!

A solution in search of a problem... Black roll pipe for the win.

Makes sense from a shipping perspective to get it to a home owner. But some comments are saying its 5x the cost of regular poly-tube drop pipe. I've pulled up 275' of poly-tube class 200 and it's no big deal. So yeah if its that much I don't really see the benefit

Good to see you using heat shrinks.

I live in the Bahamas our ground consists of lime stone. My Well is 26 feet deep and I have water at 6 foot.

I know that it is mainly a demo of the new pipe however I would have put a safety line on it. Long term a safety line is highly recommended and including it in the demo would reinforce this. Consider how a fire hose reacts when pressure cycling and the possibility of chaffing.

Here in Australia we use a similar product called Flexibore made here by Crusader hose with stainless steel hose ends excellent product. Great videos.

Like to see how it will hold up to a stuck pump , no wire guards. I see a lot of comments on no rope , has anyone used the rope to pull the pump , 42 years I have not . Also the rope is usually rotted by the time you pull the pump . Great video though thanks for sharing. 👍

That help eda lot thanks

I think that’s going to be a game changer. 👍

Great info Thanks! My well is 400 ft. It is coming up on 22 years old, still works fine but I'm thinking about buying everything I'll need when it goes. I think it's a 1hp 5gpm pump. Your videos give me the confidence that I can definitely do the job myself. Can 2 pieces of Wellhose be spliced together to reach that far? Or just reuse the black roll pipe?

I am amazed that they don't seem to use wire rope, nylon rope to lower the pump in the US. I was told by the drilling guys here in New Zealand that the pump should NEVER be hanging on the water pipe.

It surprises me that you don’t need a pitless adapter on your wells. All the wells on my property have pitless adapters at 8 feet and that adds another level of complexity to servicing them. I would love to see how your company deals with them.

I don’t know I would have some reserve about that hose it would be easy to use but roll pipe has to be stronger and more durable being pulled up out of well dragging on side of well etc as pump comes up seems like more calculations and time

That's interesting but also I wonder how long it actually holds up if you were to use it permanently... And it seems like there are many more places you could make a mistake and installation such as mismeasuring your slack

Is the water able to drain out of the hose? Once the hose is full, I’d imagine it will be pretty heavy to pull out if it is deep enough

At 4-5 times the cost of poly pipe, it's gonna be a tough sale 🤔

Just installed a new pump, pressure tank and fittings. I can only get like 10 psi. I had to use a couple of pvc fittings and one has a small leak. What might be wrong? I have a 1/2 hp pump. I’m just confused.

I have a quick question if you would be so kind to answer it for me. My low pressure cutout switch is tripping the breaker. I replaced it and it continued to trip. I seen on one of your videos to clamp a voltage meter to the hot wire going to the pump and should read between 7-9 amps if pump was good. Mine was 16-32 amps. I replaced the submersible pump and tried to start and keeps throwing breaker and when it does it sparks on pressure switch. Replaced pressure switch again and still flips breaker after 1 minute or so. I can hear pump kick on but never builds any pressure. Thanks for your help

Id be concerned about the wires chaffing over time with being secured so far apart. I guess it better be easier to pull out if youre doing it more often.

Newbie question: can I tie a plumbob on a 300ft tape measure tape to locate bottom and static level?

✌👍

Is this well hose is this for temporary use or permanent? Reason I'm asking is because I have a camp on lake George in NY. We pump water out of the lake. I use 1" black plastic tubing which has tendency to bend or kink when no we pull it out or put it in the lake. This well pipe looks interesting.

Are those shrink tubes fully water proof? We use a resin filled connection for wells here in Ireland.

I think my biggest concern would be durability over the long term. I checked the site and they have a 10 year warranty, but will it last for 20 or more years. Also how much does the hose elongate over time. Five percent might be enough for the intial install, but is it enough for many years of use.

No nylon rope on that pump?

You make it look way too easy !

😂shyt

Q what colors on wire to wires on pump? 220 v?

Having seen a ton of glass-filled nylon failures due to long exposure in wet conditions in my industry,....um, no. Not worth the fifty cents you save. As to the rest, seems more like reinventing the wheel with very little benefit. It's not like a person is dropping and/or pulling a pump every day or even year so the extra cost improves maybe one hour of work over the life of the well vs using old tried and true standard methods. Not enough bang for the buck in most cases.

I wonder how "way go " couplings on wire splice would work instead of stacons ?

This won't work for my application.

I think I'd make a roughly 24" zig zag of wire above the pump that can easily be pull out if the hose stretches over time, I doubt anyone knows how long that hose will be in 10-20 years. Some tight wad May put a 600' deep pump on 1" hose, with a 5hp pump FROM the 1950's they found nos, putting a heavy load on a small hose , the hose could go in 75' off the bottom, and 10 years later start picking up silt off the bottom. Exaggerated sure, but putting a 2-3' zig zag of wire at the top and bottom maybe midway couldn't hurt. Seems they would make better straps also. A double sided stretchy zip tie like thing would be cool. About 1/2""- 1" wide, with a normal but wider zip tie, like the 3'-4' long zip ties but only 6"long for the wire. Then a zip tie where it is either partly made from something like the stretchy hose they make slingshots from. Or has a place to loop through it. Leaving a snug fitting tie. That can stretch 1-1.5" without breaking even a plastic coated spring would be ok. It a stainless spring inside a tube. There is 1000's of other ways. The plastic straps just look cheap and not the easiest/fastest way to tie it, someone will probably wrap Teflon tape around it, follow that with electrical tape. So it can slide on the hose and the sticky isn't attaching the wire to the hose. Or the tape to either one. But at the end of the day, it's just a hose and a wire in a hole in the ground no one can see! ✌️🙈👍 Still think I'd put extra 6' of wire per 150' over what they say.

$850 for 200' of 1" thats way pricey .No thanks

Not worth it IMHO! More than 10 times the cost of a HDPE drop pipe in my location (same diameter, same length with the same fittings). Also there is a severe limitation on depths.

Ok, enough of these water wells. Let's drill some 🛢 oil wells😂🥳🥸👍

no reason to not use the ole reliable poly pipe. No need for innovation
