My water well went dry a week or two ago and I was transporting town water to put in it until the well company could come out to clean the well out. The Well company that came out to clean my well uses a process called hydraulic fracturing also commonly referred to as fracking, or hydrofracking. This process is pretty simple. It involved pumping very high pressure water into the well, forcing that high pressure water into the veins of the bedrock, thus cleaning them out.

The things you don't realize how it works until you see it on RU-vid. Thanks for sharing Elliott.

It’s a pretty impressive operation, glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching!

Having a means of water at home is vital. My only experience with my well during the last 33 years other than positive was due to failure of the check valve on the discharge of my pump. A crew from the company that originally drilled the well came out, pulled the pump out by hand, replaced the faulty check valve & inspected the pump. They said that they would normally recommend replacing the pump at the age mine was at the time, but after they wiped it down, they noted that I had a reliable brand. We decided to keep the old pump in service and still at it 8-9 years later. Interesting stuff those well drillers/service guys do.

It's certainly out of my area of expertise, was very interesting to watch them to work! I learned a thing or two that's for sure!

@charlesperry1051 Год назад

Glad to see it is fixed. I have actually been worrying about your well and i have never met you! We went through this in the late 1970s when i was a teen. I remember my Dad worrying himself over it.

@EverythingElliott Год назад

It certainly wasn’t an enjoyable couple weeks. Glad it’s fixed! Thanks for watching!

@jonseim4030 Год назад

Thanks for filming this! Don't get to see this type of work very often and it was very interesting! Glad the well is back up and running!

@EverythingElliott Год назад

I thought it was super interesting! Thanks for watching!

@wolcottfamilyworks Год назад

Glad you got your well in a better status. I had my pump give out Friday night.

@EverythingElliott Год назад

I didn’t realize how expensive the pumps were until those guys told me they are a couple grand

@wolcottfamilyworks Год назад

Yeah, I lucked out on price honestly. The old pump was the original when they drilled the well in 95

@bighoss7790 Год назад

Some of the coolest work in my opinion, it's super intriguing

@EverythingElliott Год назад

I thought it was super interesting, I sat and watched the entire time

@bighoss7790 Год назад

@@EverythingElliott what company did it? It might have been where my uncle works

@russorpcom Год назад

I never saw anything like this and was quite impressed. I have seen the WWD trucks in our area and always wondered what they can do. I am sure this was only a part of their abilities. Thank you for posting!

@EverythingElliott Год назад

I’m told they have a couple crews that only do this full time. Other crews run the well drilling rig, quite the operation!

@davidbaron6647 Год назад

Good video for people on well water

@EverythingElliott Год назад

I thought so too, pretty informative on how the process works!

In Albany County, NY banks won’t approve a loan unless well has a minimum of 5gpm recovery. I’m in the same predicament as you. We have a low recovery well and we fill a 250 storage tank with float valve in our basement. We’ve hydro fractured and gone from less than a 1/4gpm to 1.75gpm. We’re 580’ down through shale and bedrock.

@EverythingElliott Год назад

That’s pretty wild. Only thing the county was concerned about with my well I’d that the water was clean. They came out and tested it to make sure it was riddled with bacteria. No concerns about recovery rate.
