Having dug these all over southern Missouri and northern Arkansas, I have a tip: after you add the foot valve pipe and before you seal the top with the hand pump, add half a bag of volcanic rock inside the large bore (4 inch) pipe. This will help keep the bottom of the well from silting up so fast. Just a tip from experience!

Keep in mind that depending on where you live, water from a shallow well may not be safe to drink. Do your homework! I did this as a backup and for gardening. It is not a primary source of water.

@anothercomment3451 Год назад

True. All soil, foliage, water, etc. is absolutely & permanently contaminated. Looks kinda like choices will be made to prolong the suffering ... but no soul escapes the inevitable. Faith in our heavenly Father keeps one focused on the Eternal life ... and not so much on this short, temporary earthly journey. The minions of the evil one appear to have little time left, and they know that. Hence, the zealous concert of crazy race downward with the confluence of world events. The Bible describes a New Order, in the Book of Revelation - which will begin, but not come to full fruition.

@windorsolarplease4314 2 года назад

Growing up, my parents rented a house on a farm. We had well water or should I say rust with a tad of water. We didn't have any type of filters (like a Berkey). Once in awhile there would be a snake, mouse, rat in the well. There was no hot water, and we had a coal furnace, plus a hand turn roller on the washing machine. However, we had lots of the best home grown food. Started at a school that was just one room with a pot belly stove. We also wore a holster with cap guns, cowgirl hat right in town, I don't recommend this now, sad how things have changed. The 50's was a different time.

@ClaireOSullivanAuthor Год назад

we plan an inside the well pump to our existing well. That way, no digging, no mud, no concrete work, etc. Drop a line inside the well to find out how deep the well is and add another 10 feet. It'll be an inch and a half wide PVC pipe because we're cheap, and a half inch wide on the inside. A filter to the bottom with a ball bearing (I have to check those measurements again...) To create that nice hand pump type action, using a curved PVC pipe will do the trick. Emergency water source. Now we have three options for our water, electric-to-well, hand pump, a river if we're desparate (well fertilized and I've grown as much as I need), and a spring past the blackberries. Still one has to heat it up for showers and washing dishes. Also good for flushing the toilets, jus sayin that too might be an issue one would definitely want to address. :)

@Inisfad Год назад

The key to this is ‘fortunately for me our water table is not really that deep’ at 8:50. We had a well professionally dug….they had to go down 200 feet to find water. So, while this looks doable on the video, the actual key is how far down your water table actually is. Often, if you have a place on your land that is usually damp/wet despite rain, it might indicate a spring underneath. Or else you might need to try a dowser or diviner to help locate below ground water. There is also technology that can do this. So before you start digging holes in your backyard, it’s a good idea to understand the water table there.

@wildrangeringreen Год назад

Shallow wells go back to the stone age. You usually see them at the base of hills and such. Dug wells are meant to give access to underground water, and hold it for later use. In a dry summer, they will dry up from use. You stone them in to prevent them from collapsing, and to limit silt infiltration. My grandparents used a series of dug wells for most of their lives, until they had a deep drilled well installed in the 1970's when they built a new house. Find a place that stays damp long after a rain, start digging. Dig until you start seeing water seeping into the hole, then dig some more (5-10 feet, will likely require cribbing until you can stone the walls in). Stone in the walls, cover it to limit things falling into it.

@Inisfad Год назад

@@wildrangeringreen I live in an area where there are many houses that still operate off of a shallow well, found, dug and supported, as you describe. Some of these wells have more than sufficient water in the winter, but tend to slow or dry up during a good summer. What is often done is that a holding tank is built downhill from the well, and that that tank is connected to the house. This way you have a number of weeks supply of water, while you’re waiting for the spring to run again

Hi Haxman. I live in Tahoe. The South Tahoe Public Utility District puts out a little blurb telling us what's in the water we drink. (They haven't put it out for some years now but it used to be every year. They probably got tired of people calling them and complaining.) Anyway. Once I read there is arsenic plus a few other harmful chemicals in our drinking water, that was it for me. First, I Brita the water from the tap into a Brita container. Then I boil my drinking water, NEVER drink it from the tap directly. The Brita thing probably doesn't do much good but at least I feel safer. The tourists who come up here drink the water from the tap. They say it's so much better than the water they have on tap in San Francisco or Sacramento or off the Hill. Probably is but if they only knew.

be sure to check with your state hydrology department about permits, amount you can pull out etc. Many states now have regulations and SEVERE penalties regarding ALL wells,and pulling water from rivers or creeks. Yes digging your own well can be rewarding . My brother helped Dad dig one many years ago and the neighbor told us of State Regulations so Dad went to the county and filled out the papers giving him Water Deed to the property. Another did not and the state fined him and closed the well.

A good suggestion for anyone digging a well by hand is to weld or affix a nub on the top pipe to use a car jack on. The jack will do all the easy work of freeing it from the bottom then you can pull it out a lot easier. Awesome video and the finished product turned out amazing!

@danielforrest3871 Год назад

You can drive in a well point, which has a screen and is easier, especially in sandy soils. Also, shallow wells (under 75') are seldom safe to drink. They get comtaminated from surface chemicals, dead animals, septic systems, rain water which carries heavy metals and chemical contaminents from air polution. Shallow wells are okay for watering a garden, your lawn, but I wouldn't drink it without filtration, purification. Your deep well has been sealed (or shoukd have been) using bentonite clay and concrete to prevent contamination from surface water. If you are concerned about loosing power and not being able to run your deep water weel pump, you can buy a "deep water" handpump and or build your own water tower.

Hey, very important, you must seal the well, bentonite or very least cement around d the casing to stop run off water from getting into the ground water. That is the biggest reason wells get contaminated

@pewter7115 2 года назад

I don't understand?

@operatorblack 2 года назад

He’s saying to use clay to seal the sides of the pipe so that ground water seepage doesn’t infect your water supply and give you cholera or dysentery. He’s right. Doing the bentonite and then also adding a concrete pad on top helps tremendously in keeping your water clean. I’d still boil and filter anyhow, but making the investment of sealing your well early on endures many years of uninterrupted use!

@whyisblue923taken 2 года назад

@@pewter7115 Water goes into the ground and becomes ground water when it goes through all the ground to a certain point. You can drink ground water. Runoff water is the surface water that is not properly filtered and has not become ground water. If enough runoff water is around the well, it will get into the well so now you have dirty water that's possibly contaminated with poop. OP is saying to seal the well so the only water coming from the well is the clean ground water.

@grizzlygrizzle 2 года назад

I would avoid the quick-setting concrete, too. It's more prone to erosion over time.

@silverspork86 2 года назад

I'm a hydrogeologist and have installed hundreds of wells (production wells, extraction wells, monitoring wells, etc). You are correct. Typical well construction is filter sand around well annulus to 1 ft above to top of well screen, 2 ft of bentonite chips, grout to 3ft below ground surface, then remaining 3 ft is more bentonite chips (they need to be hydrated). Ground surface is finished with a protective steal casing in a concrete pad. Even so, a surfical seal at a shallow well like this won't do much to prevent contamimant infiltration. Most locations do not have shallow enough unconsolidated aquifers that would allow you to hand auger to install a well, like in this video.

As far as ease, you can also jet one in yourself if you have an existing high pressure water source, as he did. Also don't let your foot valve sit all the way on the bottom of the 4", lift it up a little bit. And when you're gluing pvc, push it together, twist it a little to eliminate air bubbles, and hold it for a few seconds so it doesn't come back apart, which it will.

My in-law has a shallow well. He build a small out building for it. When he bought the house (an old farm house) he was told the guy who dug the well relied on it for all his water needs. The well was safe enough to use for drinking water and the man eventually died in his late nineties. Some municipalities won't allow digging wells because residents are required to have the public water. My municipality is like this. However, I read that I can have an outdoor well just as long it's not used for indoor water supplies. I can dig a well for the garden, etc.
