use a fishing line with a weight, drop it into bottom of well you will feel the line loosen up when you hit the bottom. at that point mark the line with masking tape at top of well casing. then pull the line out of the casing stretch it out on the ground and measure.
In your video you mentioned a hot water heater. How does a hot water heater differ from a water heater? What I mean is if you already have hot water, why would you need to heat it?
At risk of sounding like another internet nanny: If you discharge/flush your line disinfectant from a sillcock or pressure tank (to avoid septic damage), make sure your orpingtons or pets dont drink the flush water :) Also, bleach water will likely force critters to the surface, like earthworms, and those chickens will be all over that mess in a hurry...
OK, after the well is sanitized, the video says to open all faucets and let them run - all that CHLORINATED water goes into the septic..... I am confused.
@@SelfHandledRogue I use the well pump since my outside faucet does not go through the filters in the house. Run a faucet out onto the ground or the driveway where it won't hurt the lawn, if you have one. I agitate the water with a long paddle while it pumps out. When the water runs clear you've done your best.
