There's dozens of Helpful Plumbing Videos on my Well Pump Q&A Playlist, So go check it out!
In this video we return to the Muddy Mess Well Site we left 3 days prior. The customer wanted to finally be rid of the nasty red mud water he's been dealing with for over a year, so we scheduled his jobs first thing Monday morning. This Video shows our process of installing a Submersible Well Pump, Grouting the well, trenching pipe & wire to the home, along with the Pressure Tank hooked up to the existing filter system. Hope you Enjoy this episode!

I have a lot of questions. Why use PVC with a hard these hard 90s up at the house? Why not use poly all the way so you can sweep it around gently? If you are not in a freeze area and are not using a pitless, why did you enter the house below grade? Why not enter above grade so you don't have to worry about that sleeve leaking? Why use the PVC sleeve with all the goo instead of just packing the hole with hydraulic cement? Are those black iron nipples at the brass valves and pressure gauge manifold?

Hi, just a small detail I keep seeing in your videos: it feels bit wrong to use electrical tape to be submersed in drinking water. It can leach all kind of unhealthy stuff into the water (PVC softeners like phtalates - BPA etc...). Probably not a big amount but still something to think about

Just found your channel...really impressed. Two questions for you...first is do you ship your products to Canada? Second is more technical...I'm going to install taps at my well head for easy access to water and just run the submersible from a generator as we will only use seasonally. How do I set up the line to drain so it doesn't freeze in the winter?
@h2omechanic 7 ай бұрын
Install a pitless adapter and run it to a frost proof hydrant. That keeps everything below ground. Yes I ship to Canada, it's just a little more expensive. If there's any trouble ordering, just email me thru the contact link on the website

I recently purchased a 2 acre land where i will be moving in a manufactured home, there is a well at the property but no pump, i already checked it and the water starts around 70 ft, and the weight attached to the measuring tape went down to 250 ft and I believe it could go even further, my question is what pump do you recommend and how deep should I install it? Will be the first time doing something like this, so i am trying to get as much info as possible! Thanks in advance

With grouting your well casing, i assume you drill a larger hole than the PVC pipe, be do you then drill a small diameter inside that casing down to the water level? Just trying to understand how does the grout not get into your well?

Just curious if you were to use for that situation coming through the foundation used a couple of 45s to put less restriction on flow just curious as to why cause it just seems like it would generate a lot of restriction with each elbow
@h2omechanic 4 ай бұрын
45⁰s have been proven to have less strength in areas of stress. I was taught years ago to not use a 45 below grade unless necessary. 90s only begin to be a issue in smaller pipe or in high flow systems.

Dumb question: For cases like this where the tank and everything is inside, wouldn't a pitless be a better approach so you don't have to worry about insulating or heating pipe outside?

State requires a water sample port directly at the top of the well head. To install a pitless requires a yard hydrant as well.

@harescrambled 7 ай бұрын
@@h2omechanic that's a ridiculous rule. In my area we are required to use pitless adapters. We have to install a non threaded sample valve ahead of any other part of the inside system. Typically we'll install them between the service pipe entrance and the bladder tank. We're also required to install a sample valve after each element in a water treatment system. Say you have a sand filter, a water softener, and a chlorinator and contact tank...you'd have to install 4 sample valves. The only one the health dept inspector is going to use is the one ahead of the bladder tank though.

Does your area of Virginia not require a backflow preventor on the pump line?
@BobHannent 7 ай бұрын
Another KZfaq channel I saw they recommended adding an extra brass backflow preventer above the pump to prevent the weight of the water column pressing on the pump itself. They said it made the pumps last longer, especially those with weaker pumps and plastic backflow preventers.

Love the videos. Don't call me a hater, cause i'm not, but you cant run that pump wire like that. It cant be attached to the water pipe inside the dwelling, needs to be in its own conduit through the wall and along the wall, or at least up to the wood plate under the floor joists then you can staple it along the plate or bore through the joists. NM cable has to be protected when exposed in the dwelling.

14:30 Please don't blow on the brick dust like that, the pharmacist has a "bulb syringe" enema rubber bottle sort of a thing, about 4" dia? it works as a very effective blower. It will do a far better job than your lungs, will save you from eating cement dust and possibly getting it in your lungs and eyes, and it's small compact and light so it's not like you have to carry around an air compressor.

I’m surprised that you haven’t installed a sand filter to remove all the iron from the water. The irony we’ll water needs to pass through a sand filter. The best way is to spray the water upwards within the sand filter so the water falls down in little goblets then through the sand filter & 9 times out of ten you end up with crystal clear water. Then you set up a reverse flow of water to force the water up from the base of the sand filter to back wash as you would do in a swimming pool filter! The water needs to be aerated before it goes through the sand filter! I’ve done this sort of thing & it worked 100% efficient! In certain places in New Zealand underground water is very irony & rusty & clogs up paper filter cartridges very quickly!
