Here's some information about the steps and you need to Jet a shallow well so you don't run into unforseen problems. Hope it helps. and Thanks for watching. #DIY #ShallowWell #JettingAWell
In south Ga they are like Y'all they have an aquifer. Around my house in North Ga we are mostly small mountains so it's all rock! Well lol! Red clay then rock lol! Really good video! I never knew how to do that!
that rock just 2 foot deep that is only 2 feet thick sounds doable. just hand dig a hole enough for yourself and rent a jack hammer or use an air chisel.
I have a lot of friends around you down there. We love Sarasota! Been there a bunch and Clearwater! We go to Orlando at least once a year to go to Disney. But only get south of Tampa maybe every 2 or 3 years. Love it down there though! If Tina would move I would be there in a minute! I lived on Panama City Beach and ran a beach business there for 3 years and I loved it! Just still a little too far North lol! I do not like cold!
Man I always wondered how DYI people drill the shallow wells like that. That is a neat contraption you got, I’ve never seen one before. Thanks for sharing brother, that was pretty cool knowledge to learn👍
Thanks for the Excellent and Informative Video. I got lost with : 1) the inter-action of the three sizes of tubbing used : 2'', 3'', 1.25'' 2) the sequence of using the three sizes 3) how to use the ''T - fitting'' simultaneously with the tubbings and perforations. Would appreciate if you show the sequence in your hands with sample pieces of the four ''drilling components''. Question : Would the water flow of only one hose be enough to do the job ? Thanks Again.
The 3" is to keep a clean hole down 15 feet, Where I live it's very sandy and will cave in. The 2" is your drill pipe, you connect the hose to the top and the cutter teeth to the bottom you will also use the 2" to drill in the 3"/ then drill the 2" as deep as you desire, pull it out and then drop in the 1.25" and connect it to your pump.
@@1loadermanjack This is confusing because it's not clear how water can move into the well-screen if the casing has no perforations. If I understand what's happening underground, water can only move upward from the bottom of the borehole and not from the sides where it is blocked by the casing. I've seen others dump pool sand down around the screen, wash it in, and then lift the casing just enough to expose the pool sand and screen. This way filtered water can move in from the sides. What do you think?
@@gomertube The casing only goes down 15 feet, The 1.25 inch galvanized well pipe goes to 23 feet and has a screened foot valve on the bottom. That's where the water comes from.
I still want the kind of well that's larger, out of stone and about 120 feet down, maybee il dig stairs out so I can get to the bottom of it, and with a winch bucket housing at top, Like houses of old, just for looks of course il have a pump .
@@1loadermanjack I am located in Northern Michigan. I could just make one if I cannot find it. Finding a 3" well seal seems like it will be an adventure. I can find 4-6" but 3 seems to be more elusive.
@@linusrillch I have a brass foot valve on the bottom of pipe. I was getting sand for a long time. I had the foot valve touching the rock at 23 feet, After I raised it up a foot the sand stopped.
