The hose timer is brilliant! I did a lot of research online too, and found either people selling a couple of hardware store fittings for like $150.00 (and NO returns accepted if it doesn’t work), or DIY setups like yours. The issue with everything I found before watching your vid was the aeration ran constantly, which is real bad for the pump. Your idea for the hose timer fixes that - run it for a short time overnight. Thanks a bunch!
I am working on the same problem. I'm so glad I came across your video. A couple of questions: Is this still working for you? How many gallons in your water well? What is the fitting called you used to attach aerator? Are you concerned if it fell out ? You could run your well dry and burn up your pump. I would wire it or use gorilla tape to secure it. If you were to cut the pipe from well and plumb in the water faucet. You could run your water directly from well head. And avoid the water hose, Lowe's sells a 4 ft stainless steel hose perfect for this. Thanks
all working fine for 6 months now no problem and we got drinkable water. i dont know how many gallons in feww but it doesn't matter because watter recirculates it self back to well i do 3 hours in the night and 3 houre during day.
@blueceligts180 my does have but if yours doesn't you need to dig it up or find a way to put watter back in to well my system stil works and watter is amazing
What about a solar powered pond pump. And run a hose down your well into the water at the bottom and pump air into the water? For free? Don't have to deal with water line and rust or sediment build up or your pump running too much.
@blueceligts180 on side yes its empty any way but be careful drill small ammouts cuz theres a pump water line and if you over drill youll drill in to it so drill just small hole my system sill works till this day and we have amazing water and no need to pay over 6k

Does the aerator come with those o rings that keep it in the casing?
no you have to go from 3/8ths to water hose adapter and it has orings if i understand what you saying
Hey, my well doesnt have a opening at the top for me to put the aerator back into the well. How did you install your aerator back into the well?

to be honest its way to much work but i mean you could do it
Sis you drill a hole into your well?

Okay cool. How long did it take before the smell went away?
@blueceligts180 2 days but you have to clean out your well tho
@@YuriyDtv okay. but idk how deep my well is so I'm not sure how many of the pool shocks to add to it
@blueceligts180 if you in florida use 2 bads if in any other state 1 bag
