Sound like Greg has great customer service . Cant beat him offering to drill a new well if it doesn't pan out . Only thing i would rather seen was an air compressor & line down that hole developing the well instead of the pump .
Good info in this one. We have two cisterns on our property. One rain water catchment and the other for trucked in water. We were thinking of drilling a well, but this video makes me think we are probably fine the way we are... if it ain't broke...
We have plenty of underground water in Florida and there are natural surface water ponds all around our farm. The driller says sometimes you move 10' away and the ground is totally different. Thanks for watching. B&D
Our well on this farm is 816 ft. deep. The pump went bad 2 years ago and we had to have it pulled and replaced. The old pump was at 550 ft. When they went to put the new one down, they hit something at 435 ft. Not wanting to damage the pump or risk getting it caught , they decided to let it ride. We had water. Had. This past summer, we started having issues running short of water. The same technicians came back out and determined that we would need to drill a new well. We got 4 estimates ranging from $35,000-$49,000. One of the well companies suggested that we send their camera down the well and see if we could see what the problem was. The cost for that was around $3000. Turns out, the pump was sitting at 435 ft. and the static level of the water was 439 ft. They added 1 20 ft. section of pipe and got the pump to 454 ft., and we now have plenty of water. Here is the problem. The absolute rock bottom limit of depth for a 1 1/2 h.p. pump on 1 1/2 inch plastic pipe is 365 ft. We have 1 1/4 inch plastic pipe at 454 ft. Every time the that the pump kicks on, it is causing a twist in the pipe. Eventually, it will be a problem. A big problem. Like a $4000 pump dropping down into the well to never be seen again. Our plan is to go with the 1st 100 ft. down from the surface with stainless steel pipe and then bushing to 1 1/2 plastic for the remainder of the distance down to the pump. Right now, stainless steel is so high, it may just be cheaper to go with pure gold. I think we all try to ride out this year and hope that supply chain issues get a course correction and perhaps by then, we may have the adults back in charge. Thanks for this video Brad and deb. Very interesting.
We watched your video on that and it was very interesting. That's crazy deep for a well and would leave us to make hard decisions about our land if we had to spend $50K to get water. Sadly, this was not the last issue for this well -- there will be an updated video coming on well water on Piney Grove. 🙃 Thanks for watching. B&D
yup you can thank trump for sabotaging our country, but thankfully the democrats are back in control fixing the damage the previous republicans did like they always do
I am glad there is a fix, I hope it work for the long term. Very interesting video, I learned a lot on this one. A awesome well company to back up the work they do.
Hey James. WeI learned more than we wanted to about wells too.....I'm used to just going to a faucet and turning it on!! 😂 Stay tuned as there is more to come on this issue! B&D
Hey Lucas....the well struggle is real! It seems so simple....drill a hole in the ground and get water 🚰 , but not for Piney Grove!! We'll get there one day. 🙃 Thanks for watching. B&D
Darn, that's a bummer. I could see and feel the stress myself. Hopefully thiat does the trick! I'll be looking them up when I get ready to put one in. Thank you for sharing!
Hey John, Greg Bush will definitely stand behind his well work. I had a 6-month wait initially, so pre-plan for your well. Our well story is far from over so stay tuned as we figure it out!! Take care. B&D
In our country they use an extra (stainless) cable attached to the pump all the way up to get the pump out if it disconnects from the pipe. As long as it s garantuee , the well driller can come every day , but i suppose that s in the price
The company is backing their work, and hopefully you won't need them to come a third time. Looks like they want to make sure you have a well that works properly. The nephew was coming the next day to clean some more and finish up, so that's good. I agree with you, it's a good company. That was pretty stressful to go through. Glad it worked out.
Loved the video on putting another screen in the well. I think that is what I need. I wish you had showed the part better where he was flushing out the well casing. The part where the pump had been pulled and he forced air/water into the casing and tried to flush the sediment out of the well. Another thing that needs to be stressed is that the original well casing (4") already has the "slits" in the screen in the bottom 20-40' of the casing. The bottom of the casing will have a cap or plug on it. The outside of the casing will have a gravel packing of sorts that would have been poured in the hole (canula) and would have dropped down the 210' to surround the bottom of the well casing...forcing the sand/sediment to go through a gravel pack before reaching the screen. This is where I think the well drillers collapsed my casing and why I get sediment. What happened on your repair is that they stayed on the inside of the casing, removed the down pipe and pump, then drilled threw the end cap of your 210' well casing at the bottom as they drilled further into the substrate to 240'-260' or so. Then they inserted into that drilled hole, without casing mind you a 2" screen (finer? slits) 40' of it into the hole...then placed a plug on the end of that and pushed that plug and screen down to the 210' level with the drill pipe, drill head removed. Then inserted your pump back in. No, post repair, the water entering your old 4" screen will not have to also travel to and through your 2" screen to get to the inner casing and up through your new plug and into your pump to be pumped to the surface. Whew! Let me know if I missed anything.... My issue, problem, question is where is the link to that plug, that 2" screen...both of which I can probably get form well driller... and how the heck will this DIY guy do the same? I mean, I can pull the pump...I don't need or want to drill deeper, and past the end cap of mine, but I do want insert a 2" inner screen with the plug....how will I as a DIY guy push that plug to the bottom where it needs to be? My well is 205' my casing has filled with sediment to 195' (old depth of my pump) and has since been raised by hand to 185' level. My static water level is 85' so I can pull her up some more for sure. FYI my well was drilled by the man's son and started pumping sediment within 30min of pumping, kid stopped and on phone with dad...."Dad says the well will be low producing and you can have as is for 2500 (agreed price was near 6k) or he will abandon. Leaving me with nothing and a mess....I chose to keep the well and it pumps 5-10gpm anytime I want, just has sediment... argh. I think he collapsed the screen with the gravel pack and that is how sand is getting in. I want to first pull the well, then blow it out with air and see how that goes...if that doesn't work, give it a year and pull it out and place the inner screen. Your thoughts...and 706 plus my number 825 and then the last part 7180 is my number t call me if you would like to talk. I would prefer that if you don't mind or anyone with a phone that could lend some advice. Tks again. Great vid. :)
We are not well experts, so not sure we can be much assistance. We decided to drill another well up the hill and use this well for irrigation. Here are those videos: ruclips.net/video/DY8j3jAHCkQ/видео.html ruclips.net/video/kjHWB8Bhu6E/видео.html
Oh man I would have been a nervous wreck! You seemed so calm through the whole thing. I don't think you could have asked for a better copany. Seems like they are taking really good care of you. Best of luck and I hope it all works out!
I would have been stressed also 😳, sounds like you’re dealing with a great company who cares about his customers and his reputation 👍🏻. I hope all is WELL 😉😂👍🏻. You are super thorough will the explanation Brad 👍🏻. Have a great one 🙋🏼♂️🙂👍🏻
Luc, unfortunately there is more to this story. But fortunately, there will be an interesting video about it in the future!! 🤣 Gotta laugh sometimes to keep from crying! Take care. B&D
Seems strange to me, i’ve had a couple wells drilled and from what i understand from the guys that did mine the pvc pipe filters are standard practice here right from the start.
If they drill into hard limestone, there is no need for a filter screen. Each well is different. Much more to this story here: ruclips.net/p/PLG5yS75HLzo1bWHgHSOQbp3ixkMXSyLA3
A water well, with a screen has an expiration date that is unknown. A good Rockwell doesn’t need any screen and see if they’ll last forever here in Florida.
You nailed it right there. The filter pipe should've been installed in first place. Just sad to have to comeback. Hope you didn't pay for them to come back. In Germany they say: Do it fast do it twice....
Hello I am looking for a fiberglass retention tank for a drain back system might you have information on your tank.Thank hope this cleared up your water.
The well driller installed the tank...It's an 80 gallon pressure tank if that helps you at all. They actually came back and drilled a new well! The rest of the story in some other videos here: ruclips.net/p/PLG5yS75HLzo1bWHgHSOQbp3ixkMXSyLA3
You usually drink well water unfiltered if it doesn't have a sulphur taste or sediments. We now have good water after drilling a new well and only have a sediment filter between the water in the ground and where it comes out of the faucet. Cool, clean, clear drinking water for over 2 years now.
I have two pumps on one source, the original source has NO settlement and has been there sense the 70s BUT we just installed another pump on the same water source & we’re getting SO MUCH SETTLEMENT on the new pump that it causes acne and breakouts on our skin along with not replishing thurst even when attached to a settlement filter. Any ideas why our water quality is still bad after 2 years of use? The original one still gives great water source just this new one is so odd.
Yes sir. Greg actually did that on his scheduled Christmas break. Stay tuned as he may make a guest appearance in the future. Thanks for watching. Brad&Deb

Why are you using PVC for well pipe? Is that code in FL? That seems very "Old School". You would be able to pull out the Black Poly pipe without a drill rig derrick.
I am not a well guy, but maybe your 1,5hp pump is to strong for that little pipe which goes up. My thoughts is, when the switch goes on, in the same moment that pump sucks so strong at that little surface what it has, creats a vaccuum and suck up all the dirt even when you flush it again. So maybe it would be better to get that smaller pump in it runs maybe a little longer, but that doesent matter bc. you use a pressuretank. Greetings from Germany
The pump is suspended in what should be 60 feet of clear water with the limestone rock to filter the water once the initial drillings are flushed out. But because of the sand pocket, there is always new sand coming into that 4" column. The 1.5HP pump is needed for 15gpm service to 2 houses, a workshop, and an animal barn, as well as irrigation. Greg said he routinely digs wells in the area that will service 5-6 mobile homes. Much more to come on this story....stay tuned! Brad&Deb
YOu should have gone with flex pipe instead of hard pipe if anything happen to the pump u have to get a truck out, with flex pipe u can do it yourself.
"I'm going to keep the camera out of his face and let him do his thing" In the next shot he proceeds to point camera towards him and starts asking him questions and buzzing around him like a shoe fly.
Just sad to see t hem come back a second time. Lost of time and $$$ that was preventable. The filter pipe should've been installed in first place. Just sad to have to comeback. Hope you didn't pay for them to come back. But nice educative video.

In Florida, it's rare, but it does happen.
Are you pressurizing the entiire well so it pushes up the pipe?
There is a pump in the bottom....it's shown in the video.
@@PineyGroveHomestead
Would it destroy the submersible pump that a well typically uses?
@@laserfalcon if the grit was constant, it would wear out the impellers quicker. All wells have to flush a bit before they clear out.

Great 👍
Water is life!
So, the only thing that supports the screen is that rubber gasket?
Yes, but the well is only drilled down so far into rock, so it eventually contacts the bottom of the drilled hole.
Did the fix keep the well working until today?
Unfortunately no. Here is the updated video: ruclips.net/video/kjHWB8Bhu6E/видео.html

How long can these wells, pvc tubes, pump systems, etc last?
04/04/24
Unless it gets hit by lightning, the well will last forever. The pumps usually last 20 years or more.
@@PineyGroveHomestead ... Oh yeah, I didn't even think of lightning. Our pump & well has been working since the mid 1980's, & afaik, without repairs or such.

How much was the well initially?
$6500
Why are you using PVC for well pipe? Is that code in FL? That seems very "Old School".
