How do you know your well water is safe to drink? I think you should get a professional to install the pump, not because I dont think you're capable, but not testing your water is unsafe.
This is the one I’ve been waiting on! Well done, sir!
Thank you, finally catching up on the homestead chores!
Pardon the pun??
We have a pundit in the house
Thanks to RUclips I'm finally learning the stuff my father never taught me
Thank you for this well Informing content👍
Pun intended 😂
Yes.
well done
my right ear enjoyed this video
My right ear approves this video 👍
cool
Love these videos thank you for the effort you put in to them keep it up my friend
Much apprecited, thank you
Well now I have one problem winter isn't coming here the pain of living on a tropical island no snowing. But great use of children's air pump.
Good stuff!
Nice video. Well done and great detail. I enjoy all your videos. Keep up the good work :)
We always propped the handle of the pitcher pump up in the winter so water wouldn't stand in the pipe. Then leave the pump head on.
Well, that was a deep subject.
I see what you did there
I am stock piling dehydrated water
So, what you're saying is, all we need to do to use a hand pump in zero degree temperature is remove the protective cap, put the pump back on the well pipe and prime it. When done, remove the pump, open the check value and replace the cap. Right?
have you considered putting up solar panel on your roof? I will totally be watching that video. it looks like you have a big house and big ac vent thing outside.
Lots of work. Never did that as a Kid with our well. We used it all year around. Had a shed around it..to keep the leaves away from it and the birds, etc
If pump is winterized, where do you get water from, during the cold winter, for shower and everyday life?
If you plan to use it this way during freezing months its not easy but it works. You must prime and pump what you need and it can keep going for a while depending on temps. But if you plan to leave it you must open the valve I showed to let the pipe drain the water back down. You can do this all winter long, not perfect but its available for use.
That white piece that stayed inside your PEX pipe you removed is a trap it's fine if you're going to reconnect that same part back to that same fitting but that fitting will be no use without that white piece
That one is the stiffening sleeve from the sharkbite fitting you don't usually see them until the pipe is removed.
What if you built your pump inside the shed? or built the shed after the pump?
I'm on the far side of the world (tropical country) and i'm curious with how do you deal with this during winter.
How deep is your frost line ? 6 feet deep here during hard year. Would that work ?
About 6 feet but that water depth is around 17 feet down. Here is when I put it in: ruclips.net/video/E-pn41fqYXs/видео.html
@@SilverCymbal thank you so much. I was thinking about putting a hand pump/well in the spring.
Great video. Do you think that Battery Inflator will be enough to blow out an underground pipe with only a few sprinkler heads attached?
Thank you, no that little inflator just doesn't have enough. It's better than blowing though with your mouth and less powerful than a air compressor, sorry not the most scientific comparison there
How deep is your well?
My dad's is over 150 feet deep.
Would like to a hand pump for emergencies.
How could we do this?
The amount you can lift water with a hand pump is limited to about 6 meters. You aren’t ever going to use a hand pump such as this to lift 150’.
I hope everyone is doing... well 🤣 fine I'll leave
Is it me or the sound was in and out
Yep it was me
This is way too much work…
It will freeze solid and split the pipe if you do nothing
