- I am building a well bucket for my well I hand drilled last summer. I am using schedule 40 , 3 inch pipe and a rubber ball in the bottom to allow water in. this is all my idea and home made #diy #water
Very intriguing idea, not how i would do it but I'm glad to have seen you share your own way. Great minds brother 👍
Pretty neat i may have to try that i have one of the old well buckets but its not sealing at the botton and my water is leaking out for i get to the top ant figured out how to fix it yet
Did you borrow that design from those old galvanized water buckets? They worked just about like that. They were a galvanized tube just about that same size, attached to a pull rope and pulley. When the water was pulled up there was a trigger at the top of the bucket. You held your container under the bucket and pulled the trigger. The water came out the bottom. Uncle had about an 80 ft drilled well in a limestone aquifer. Don't know how many times as a kid and on a hot July day I begged my Uncle to pull some of that fresh cold sweet water up from the bottom of that well. Cold enough to give you a brain freeze and sweet as soda pop. He always did because he was proud of his water.
I did look at them . Almost bought one at an antique store for $35 but i dont thing it will fit in my pipe.
Hey Justin! THAT was a very clever solution! Your were certainly, "thinking outside the box", on this one. Dare I say it?! Well Done! (I dared.) The Mark II version might have a perforated end cap and the ball attached to it with a short length of string. The perforations would let the water come in... the ball would still form a seal... and the end cap would keep the ball from falling out.
I wanted to build it with a toilet flapper but i didnt have a good way to hinge it in so little of a space
Excellent job!!
I made one back in the early eighties when we first bought her place they were no City water out here so we had a well-drilled we didn't even have electricity here so I had to make a wheel bucket and could not afford to buy one I took a piece of 3 inch PVC pipe put a reducer on 1end from 3 inch to 1inch put a tennis ball full of sand so it wouldn't float with a nylon stream attached to the tennis ball on the inside of the wheel bucket worked very good for many years you have a great idea there thanks for sharing
Im sure that ball wont last a long time so i may have to pit a tennis ball in this one
More than one way to skin a possum. Good stuff.
Thats right. Just gotta put our thinkin caps on sometimes
Justin I do the same type stuff . Like making things and thinking outside the box . Good job 👍. Can you use a old fashion hand pump on that size well pipe?
Im always behind on projects because i have so much i want to get done. Never out of things to film tho
Nice!!! Happy Easter (early) “HE has Risen”
Amen
might could attach a pvc collar with pvc purple glue stuff, on inside of the bottom. might get a better seal too.
How deep is that well?
@@faithfulpatriot1776 about 18 foot
Put the knots on the inside !
I already did
When i was editing the video i was like i shoulda just turned them the other way. So i went down there and swapped it
