In my personal experience, this is probably the most accurate description of what a RUclips channel should be!!!! Great content and great work!!!!
Love your content. My well pump failed during the night. I did call a well pump repair guy and I assisted him every step of the way, and I knew exactly what to do and expect thanks to your channel. I just needed his experience, help and his well dog. We got the whole system up and going today, to include replacing the PVC well pipe with new black poly, new wire, and a fancy electronic pump drive, a Pentek Intellidrive, and a new Berkeley 10 gpm 3/4 HP pump. The system works beautifully. I really appreciate your content.
I’ve been a pump technician for about 6 years now, you do a really good job of explaining things. Keep it up I’m 100% certain you help a lot of people out there with videos like these.
I just subscribed
Yeah! What this guy said!
He helps more people than he knows. Thanks to him I did my own complete pump install, started with nothing - even had to build my own insulated/heated well pump house (no structure on my property) Next year hopefully will be changing to the pitless adapter. Love this channel.
Hey H2O Mechanic: Thanks for the informative videos. I am almost done with my well conversion from jet pump to submersible. I need to hook up electric and the water line. the pump is installed as well as the pit less adapter. 6" coupling welded on to old well casing with a 6" adapter to 6"pvc.,to get above grade. I also installed a "tee" below the pit less adapter with a street elbow and a 3/8 quarter turn ball valve to drain the pipes for winter time. I shortened the ball valve handle drilled it and installed a handle to work it from inside the well casing. The roll pipe is in or on a barbed fitting in the "tee" down the hole. Your working knowledge is second to none and hats off to your teacher... GB
I've been doing it all a long time from industry to commercial to residential anything mechanical and electrical but I never did a pitless.never quite learning.thank you.
Mystery solved! I haven't seen a pitless installation before. I can tell from the cap on top of the casing that this is what we have up at the family farm. It's been sitting idle for 10 years and I will have to work on it at some point. Thanks for another very clear explanation.
My house has 2 wells and a cistern. Both we buried over. Im kinda bummed that my parents picked to do that, but oh well. Both were pit less into the basement.
We live in Ohio and everything here is on a pitless adaptor. Great video. The last minute explaining the connection was golden. Well done video.
And our water table is really high. IE about 2’ for me.
@@mikesbarn1858 Yeah I can't dig fence posts without hitting water in the bottom. My well is only 46' deep.
Excellent video, one of the best explanations I’ve seen on any video on RUclips!! Thank you, hopefully just save me a few thousand dollars!
Thank you! I am learning so much from you. In a few weeks my solar powered deep well (300 ft deep) pump will be installed (I've watched your deep well installation video several times) along with a pitless adapter. I can't do it alone but at least I have a good understanding of what needs to be done.
I have the pitless adapter style connection and I have never seen a video that explains it or anything else well related with such clarity! Your professionalism and guidance is very much appreciated by those of us who have been fortunate enough to have found you & your channel! Subscribe & Smash That Thumbs Up!❤️
Thank you….I never knew how to disconnect a pitless adapter. Very informative!
I’m so glad you covered a pitless adapter setup. I’ve followed you for awhile now and your tremendous tutorials have really educated me and helped demystify water wells. I’m in the NE and have a 325’ well installed 24 years ago so getting prepared! I have sent a donation in appreciation. Thank you so much!
Yes Sir! Thank you so much for that! Seeing that really put a smile on my face! Thanks again for supporting my channel!
I live in Colorado my 845t well has a pitless adapter. Finally, a well expert has completely explained how this simple ingenious device works. And now I know why when I bought the ranch, there was & still is an 8ft galvanized pipe in the barn with "well pump lift rod" written on it. Thank you - even if I never try a repair myself - I will at least understand what the well tech. tells me. I would hate to end up pitiless... Again, thank you - liked your explanation of the pressure tank too - very informative.
I've been working on pumps for 20+ yrs. I would NOT advise trying to pull a pump that hangs anywhere around 800ft.
This is probably my most favorite video. I have a well that I just pulled up of 225' of PVC. The pipe had broken about 4' up from the pump at the bottom- and had burned up. I used a hitch deer hoist (I dont hunt....but now own a deer hoist. LMAO), vise grips, two 8' long ratchet straps, and a 2"X6" board with a U shaped cutout for pipe and wire to come up through. It wasnt bad...just time consuming...a lot of cranking. Sure beat the hand over hand removal. Now I have a new pump, polypipe, pitless adapter and all new fittings. So glad I found your channel. Thanks so much for your tips and knowledge.
Excellent description of this adapter.
The first understandable explanation and demonstration of a pitless! Thank you!
Thank you. Your ability to show and explain what is happening is excellent.
You truly are the best water well plumber on Utube!!!
Explains the pitiless process perfectly 👍
First time seeing a pitless adapter up close. Just found your channel and I've learned so much already. Thanks for posting
You are a lifesaver. I've been dreading pulling my pump and this addressed all the concerns I had.
What a fantastic job you did explaining. So gracious to show and teach! Please keep up the great work helping others!
Love your channel.
Thank you for keeping your video's clean and family friendly, God bless you.
Thank you for this! We’ve got a leak really close to the well. I’m digging to find it but didn’t want to mess around until I understood how a pitless works. You did an amazing job of explaining. Again much appreciated!
You are a great teacher, great content creator, and doing such a service to many sharing your knowledge! Thank you sir!
Been waiting for a pitless video!! Did my parents well 5 years ago. 300 foot of poly pipe. Just about killed my dad and i. One of the hardest things ive done in my life! Once the pitless is free you own it lol. Didnt have a pipe dog. Thanks again for taking us along!
It sucks big time. I pulled one once 450 foot. and you are right once you start you are totally committed
@@thomassullivan2674 thank you for the reply I have been seen more SS fitting options and was curious. Let’s see what happens.
You needed a roller rig that attaches to the side of the casing. Hook up to a vehicle or 4 wheeler and away you go!
@@davidmark805 Great idea. I'll be doing that on any future repairs.
Outstanding video. Thank you for sharing this. Now I know how a pitless adapter works and now to remove the pump.
Your method of teaching is first rate, dam i may go this route now, thanks
That explanation at the end was super helpful! Thanks
You are the wizard of water. Thanks from British Columbia.
Man, what an outstanding teacher.
Well done . You my friend are a good teacher.
Clear, concise, well done videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Thanks, great explanation on how these pitless adapters work!
You are the "grand master " what a wealth of information you provide. Thanks for sharing your experience and talent.
This is about the only type of well you see in the midwest due to the cold air, cool to see one being worked on cause I have a property with one!
Finally found a video, showing a pitless adapter type install. Thank you so much for a great video. My hope is that my pump holds up til the weather warms a tad.
I learned so much just from a couple of your videos. Thanks!
Excellent detailed explanation of my 90’ well, which is a pitless style here in NW IN. Thank you.
Another excellent video! Thanks for demystifying my pitless adapter well.
You do a great job
Great video! The ending is what I needed to see to understand that fitting. I plan to replace my pump this summer and its this pitless setup.
You are a very good teacher with attention to detail, mechanical aptitude, and problem solving. Anyone hiring should have these on their checklist.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your knowledge. VERY helpful!
Absolutely a great description. Thank you very much for a nice clear explanation.
Very fun to watch. It helps to see everything in detail like this before working on my well.
Smart young man.Your dad has to be proud of your accomplishments. Thanks from Sc
Thank you for the close up on the adapter at the end of the video.
Thanks man! I seen a tiktok about a pitlas and your video explained what it was very well!
Man this is awesome content. This video is a huge need because there's limited content on a pitless adapter well trust me I've searched. Have had to just wing it on mine every time!
Thank you for the video with the pitless here in the Ozarks even though we don't have much freezing everywhere well seems to be this way outside of the well everyone has an outdoor faucet also that drains down you make everything so easy to understand I love your channel.
Glad I came across your video's! I have been binge-watching them for the last couple of days. Was hoping to see one with the pitless hookup as I am in Ontario, Canada and that is the setup used here with our winters! Very well explained. Knowledge is Power!
I live in Northern Ontario. Installed and pulled many submersibles. It still freaks me out when I see these outdoor electrical panels and disconnects.
Great clear instruction! Another great tutorial! Thanks for sharing!
I have a pitiless ,so I am glad to see and understand how it works. Thanks for the info
Stumbled across your channel and have been enjoying the content. Appreciate your education and time spent sharing this knowledge. We try and do as much as we can for ourselves and videos like these help make that possible. Well Done!!
Please share on your social media, help spread the word! (If you are willing).
I'm here to answer any questions & help as much as I can!
good to see issues and repairs ! kodo to you for educating.
Great instructions on pitless well pump removal plus tips . In rural Maine your channel provided a wealth of important information. Thank you n God Bless. Cliff
Amazing explanation as always! Really love that you share all your knowledge. God bless.
This is the most thorough video I've seen yet. Trying to figure out how I can get emergency water from a well on my property and this has me a lot less nervous!
Thanks for this. I’ve been 23 days without water. New well drilled yesterday, trench from the well to the house dug today, and tomorrow we hook it all up. This really helped me understand what will happen and what to watch for as the work is completed (a friend who knows this work and the driller are doing that). 😊
Best video ever made on the subject!
Between this and other videos, you've saved me thousands of dollars. Thank you so much for making these videos. I've liked and subbed.
Good explanation of pitless adapter!
Absolutely awesome I want to thank you very much for explaining all of this in detail
Just came across your channel. We’ve got an old cabin with a well. Our pump was installed in 1974. It’s still working but,I’m expecting it to take a powder at anytime now. Saw your pump dog and knew I had to have one because I’ll be replacing the pump myself. Found one on eBay and bought it! Thank you for the valuable tip!! Be safe and the best of luck in your business!!! As I write this it’s - 22 in Montana 🥶🥶🥶
I only recently came across your channel. I've done a lot of plumbing over the last 70 years, but very little well work. I'm sure I've watched over a dozen of your videos this week and there is NOT ONE that I didn't learn something from. I've lived on this property for twenty years, it has three wells and so far I've had NO issues. And, thanks to you, I'm pretty confident that with the acquisition of a well dawg, I can handle whatever happens in the future. Thank you immensely.
Not sure how I happened across this channel but I'm glad I did. You've helped take the mystery out my own well setup. Seeing that pitless adapter with your explanation gives me the confidence to take on a future repair myself. I will need to replace my pitless adapter at some point as the water here in my locale is very corrosive and has done a number on mine. So far it's holding pressure down at that connection point but I know at some appointed day it will work loose again and I will hear my well pump short-cycle. I will have to excavate and do a replacement then. Hopefully in the summer as I'm in northern IL.
your good at your job and at your videos. great work
You're awesome brother! Thank you for what you teach!
Great explanation. Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Excellent video. Found myself shaking my head yes, like I understand what your saying.
Very good explanation on the Pitless system.
This is used on my well.
I saw on one of your other videos a sticker showing Clarksville VA.
I am in Lynchburg. Your videos are very informative and enjoyable.
Thanks for sharing!
Awesome, very informative, enjoying your videos and explanations
Thanks. This is what I was looking for.
I’m glad you showed what happens when you mix brass and iron in the water system.
Sorry i had to snicker a little no offense meant, your pump dog. In the 60's we called it a foot vice, because before they started putting in pitless adopters we dug a hole to the well. Set 4x4's across the hole and put the foot vice over the well. I've pulled a many feet of steal pipe through one of them. Submersibles, single shallow wells and double pipe 1" and 1 1/4 " at the same time. Haven't seen one of them ( foot vice) for over 40 years. Good video thanks for sharing.
Thank you. Learned something new today
Fantastic video!!
YOUR VIDEOS ARE FABULOUS!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! I am having to learn about pitless adapter hook up for well way up north. No house yet.
I have watched many of your videos already which are extremely helpful. You give excellent instructions!
Great video! Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge.
Your videos are awesome. I’ve always had lived in homes that had city water supply. We are now looking to move to a home that is on a well. Not knowing anything about wells or how they work can be pretty intimidating. After watching a bunch of your videos I now have a clear understanding of how they work and what’s involved in repairing it if need be. Thank you!
You'll love Well Water! 100% pure & no added chlorine.
Great video and explanation of pitless adapter.
Excellent video! You explained this very well and it was extremely clear! Nice work!
we have to use food grade lube for pitless installs. another good vid, ty for the content.
This is what I have. So thank you for teaching me about how it all works.
Thank you for explaining this to me. What my husband said makes sense now. He was saying there is a metal bar in the garage somewhere to pull the pump. Now I know what to look for. Thanks again.
THANK YOU! You have no idea how much you are helping people who have wells! I needed to see this video to confirm my well set up. I have watched many of your videos and, now that I've seen this one. I know what needs to be done to replace my well pump. I just don't know whether the drop line is PVC or black roll pipe (that's the mystery right now). Thank you so much for being so detailed and explaining things easily so that a DIYer can get things done.
Another great video!
Really great video, thank you so much for sharing your experience and knowledge with us!
Great info. and excellent presentation. TY!
I have well issues. I found your channel and I’m sure learning a lot. Subscribed of course. Thanks for teaching! Now I got to get back to more of your videos. From Hells Canyon, Frank.
Good video! Watched a linebacker sized guy pull mine up years ago, 200' down and pulled it all by hand. He had to take a few breaks to catch his breath...
Northern Minnesota here, my pitiless is down about 8 feet. When I had my well refurbished with new parts after building a new home it was interesting to learn that the previous owners had actually buried the pressure tank down 8’ where the pipe ran to the house. The pressure tank was inside a plastic garbage bag which we hit with the excavator when installing the new pitiless. And no, I didn’t do it that way on the new install😆. People do sone crazy stuff.
It's crazy someone would bury the pressure tank that deeply. How do you ever service it.
@@arthurr8670 I think it was common up here to ensure they didn’t freeze in winter. Secondly it was servicing a mobile home so I’m guessing they didn’t have room? I don’t know why anyone would do it that way personally. My well guy said he made some good money over the years fixing them though! Ha
Up in Wisconsin, the pitless is the only way to go. Thanks for the upload.
Great job brother. Thank you.
Thank you I wish you were in Montana to help us out I would hire you for our new well. Great information..... God bless you my friend.
Good step by step man!
Great video. Thanks!
Great video!
Your videos are great, great explanations, My go to video if there I have an issue or just plane knowledge. Always great stuff! thanks for what you do and how you do it!
