How do you get the water up if you don’t have a foot value at the bottom? Found the old well pipe I can hear water when to drop a weight with fishing line but can’t get the water to suck up. Thanks
Hey Bruce! All the parts you see in the video are specially manufactured for us here at WaterStep. You can purchase additional parts at our website. I've also attached a link below that will take you directly to the Hand Drilling Parts on the store. waterstep.org/product-category/hand-well-drilling/
Put plastic down to hold the dirt so you are not left with a muddy grass area. Easier to move the dirt back to the hole as well. After clay soil comes the sandy soil where the water is.
Good video for shallow sand type drill the DEEPROCK® HD-55 pro series will drill 200 ft in one day or a shallow Waterwell 50 ft or less in 3 hours great video!!!
Wouldnt this work better with hanging weights like sand bags or something small and heavy to aid in downforce while digging when you get deeper so you don't have to push down?
For those (like me) who hate rattly bits I recommend strips of card (cereal box) in between the joints of the steel rods... On a power company side note: Working with steel box sections which have the tendency to get extended over and over again directly under major power lines can prove quite interesting (just saying...)
Where do I get an auger like yours? i use a Seymore (ebay about $60) but the loose dirt falls out as does the wet soil. I use water to hold the clay/silt/sand together. Thanks vistagraphs@gmail.com
Excellent video. I like your set up much better than the augers you buy that you have to thread one piece into another with pipe wrenches. Did you make these yourself or did you buy them?
Yes, depending on the soil in your area (no rock). I taught a young man in Kenya to drill wells this way. In his first 6 years he drilled 240 family wells. Simple DIY deepwell hand pumps can be installed. Wells deeper than 20 meters/66 feet have been drilled this way.

You still producing?
Hi guys good job, do they have 6 inches diameter on this system?
Where can I find an auger like that
So what happens when you get deep enough to make the drill rod heavier than you can lift?
WoW ! Nice idea ! I tried www.amazon.com/bluekeyworld Cable Clips and it helped my organization
did you make the auger yourself? it looks like... a self-made...

Can this work on African soil?
Yes if no rock is below...
