Today we drill a bore well for water on my property. I need to the water to help me with projects and to help build my par 3! #bore #waterwell #boredrilling Become a Member to get access to exclusive perks: / @lawntips
G'day Ben, congrats on the bore! I just wanted to throw my two cents in on the par 3 design you showed at the start of the vid. As a golf course architect nuffy for most of my life, it looks great, EXCEPT FOR ONE THING. Please don't build the bunker numbered three in the diagram. The reason being is it will totally take away any option of a ground game, or the ability to run a ball onto the green. You already have the dam there as a major hazard, you certainly should therefore leave yourself options for playing a variety of shots into the green. Just bombing high short irons in would get boring after a while, but running 7 and 8 irons in provides variety and challenge. Also, with that front bunker, it'll take a monumental effort for your kids to hit over it, as opposed to letting them run the ball up and on to the green. So I would suggest removing that front bunker (labelled 3), and instead continue with the fairway grass up to the apron of the green. I'm sure this will provide you with many more options, and far greater playability.
That was interesting Ben, Thanks for sharing, my hubby’s cousins own a drilling business up here in Queensland, but out in the country part of Queensland, and I’ve often wondered how it all works, looks like Schnitty was having a Great time also Lol 😂, he looked so cute sleeping with your little girl on Facebook, I’m sure she loved it as much as he did, he’s a little inside puppy 🐶. Cheers from Janelle 😎😎🐶
My 2 cents worth would be a grundfos solar SQF2.5-2 subbie with 6 panels on the bore pumping to the tank. Helical rotor pump will handle the head and can slow it down if bore yield ends up dropping. Then out of the tank doing the irrigation I would recommend a Franklin MHQP 5. Or a grundfos CRIE 5-5 both will give you 100lpm at 4 Bar with room to spare
Brian's a champ! CBJ got a great bore for us just over the hill from your place at 34m. Flows well enough not to need a tank! Loving your vids-very informative and entertaining.
Peeps who don't live in a rural setting won't fully understand this. Especially if you rely on catching your own water for everything! Very exciting when you dig it and even better when it less than 200 parts/Pmil, beautiful just like ours!
We just bought 2ha in Samford Valley. 100k L of tank storage already but trying to weigh up whether it’s worth sinking a bore. 2 active bores within 500m of us with potable water @ 20m.
Great work with the bore mate. In 2002 i sunk a bore at Macarthur Grange Golf Club. Went down 120 meters, and didn't hit water. A 15k gamble that didn't work. Please get a proper water analysis of the bore water. The results will be really interesting.
500 gal hour = 8 gal per min which is good but is still a low flow. For U.S folk like me, 62m= around 186ft which is an average- shallow depth well to be honest. Here In the southeast U.S , I know someone that said they have a 130 gallon per min well, idk how deep but they use it to keep a 1 acre pond topped up
Plan on getting water quality tested? I want a bore where I am but people in my area that have them say it can be fairly saline...lotta money to gamble 😬
Here's a cool nerdy suggestion... Use your pool water sampling kit and run some pH, alkalinity, chlorine, calcium hardness tests. If for no other reason than to wear a white jacket and carry a notepad.
Coming from a place where one in every two houses has a bore for day to day water, I am not a big fan of bore considering it's long term implications. There should be some regulation around this.
That bloke operating the machine seems crazy to me not wearing any kind of mask standing in the middle of plumes of rock dust. Andesite is over 50% silica, if he's been making a habit of that it's going to catch up to him and he'll regret it.
Hey mate, They actually wear masks all the time. He had left them in town that morning and as you can imagine they run on a tight schedule. He made sure I knew that the wear them for that reason
Here’s a dumb 2 part question; Is it normal to have that much water just continuously spilling out of the bore hole once it’s done? Will it stop free flowing once you’ve got the irrigation pumps all setup? Genuinely curious never seen anything like it!- cheers
Finally got it done mate, just curious on a rough costing if you don't mind all good if not mate, I remember a few videos back you Said around 30 to 40 that's all
@@LawnTips ah shit I must've missed that sorry mate haha I'll rewatch it now. I'm keen as to see the end result for ya mate lol binge watching some of the old ones even 👍
@@LawnTips cheers mate, ended up watching it again lol hope you're getting a bit of this rain out your way at the moment, hope the kikuyu is going well to mate. Will there be another video with an update soon cheers mate 👍
Will be fine mate 👍🏽 Using all warm season grass apart from the green. Have two 20k tanks and the dam. I won’t be watering every night. Definitely is a low flow rate though
@@LawnTips 20,000 liter tanks or 10,000 Gallons either way I have no clue how many Gallons I use to keep my lawn green. But we get 30 inches of rain on average or 76 cm plus whatever snow we get
