thanks for showing the hydrant details. I'm getting ready to install one tomorrow and hadn't thought about the two elbows, but it completely makes sense. I was also wondering how to protect the gravel around the drain and the bucket/landscape fabric should work perfectly. off to the store to get more supplies in the morning. thanks!
I would have never guessed you could have a low producing well in North Carolina or anywhere east of the Continental Divide. This video gives me hope for a low producing well in the West. Maybe we just need a better pump and a giant cistern.
Theres good evidence that swales on contour can increase recharge rate of wells. There appears to be plenty of elevation change on that property for some nice swales. Capture that water, spread it, and sink it and it should increase the recharge rate of that well. If that's not your property, perhaps you should tell the landowner to look into it and you may have yourself some work putting in some swales.
Thank you for the bucket idea along with using 2 street els. I have one I need to replace and a new one to add. May I suggest driving a T-post beside the hydrant and then tying it together with wire in a couple of places. Sure helps stiffen up a hydrant.
looks great... Been thinking about doing this with a spring... Pull water from the spring to a 1500 gallon tank.. very similar area... Thanks for being an inspiration for my projects.
Nice that the money to drill the well was not wasted . That system must have cost a small fortune. The well at my far is 225ft deeps and I get 26 GPM. The well at my house is 327ft deep with 29 GPM I guess I got lucky. Thanks for showing
back in the day, my grandfather would set off a stick or two of dynamite near the bottom of the hole that would cause fractures and better flow of water
I have a well that gives me about 500 liters a day. The well is 55m and the Pump is at 52m. I use 2, 535W panels to pump the water to a 2.5l tank that is 2 meters above ground. The pump head is 95 meters. The well is pretty new, about 3 months old. Fracking or getting it deeper is not an option as I have build structures around it thus drilling will mean demolishing the structures just to get access to the well. The question is. Will I run out of water? After how long?
Great video, I really like your channel a lot just subscribed the other day. I like it when a videos over that I feel like I learned something from it.
Nice job. so does the pump switch on when it detects low pressure in the line and the water is above the low water mark on the pump, and an interval timer as well ?
Hey Scott, Just a thought, but maybe break out the hydrant how-to into its own video? It's a definite gold nugget that would help folks. Maybe generate some more views as well. God Bless!
Do you ever come up to New York State? I have 5.6 acres on a hilly property. I have small springs but no power or well. Need help to get access to water and power. Hope to do solar.
Do you have advice or can you steer me in the right direction who to talk to to Size my well pump motor and setup pump protection for my one gallon per minute low production well. I have the water well report with all of the data.
curious... why schedule 80 pvc in the well rather than the standard (to my knowledge) black poly pipe... is it the pressure rating? 600 ft in the well = circa 260 PSI? hehe... :950... yaw pitch and roll!
Yes the well is 800 ft deep but the static water level is 60 ft so we set the simple pump down around 150. So there's at least 130 gallons of storage in this size casing that they can hand pump out as the well slowly recovers everyday.
Amazing work guys and I that wrench your brother gave you for your birthday! Do you have a link to the wrench? I might buy one for my brother-In law. Good video and title too!!!👍
Havent had a good Engineer 775 binge watch day in a while. Today seems like a good day for it.
Thank you for helping them. Had a neighbor drill a dry well and had no $ to repeat. Sad.
Nice work Scott - as usual.

Somebody got a new F250. 👍
Excellent tips on the hydrants! Thx!
Nice work Scott, system and finished jobsite looks great.
That is a lot of peace of mind on those cow waterers.
nicely done System
Enjoy your projects!

Great video, we're putting in a well soon, I like knowing what to expect. Thank you!
Wonderful video! Really makes me want to retire and leave the city.
Love it brother. Out standing JOB!! Have a Blessed Easter!! God Bless Brother.
Black poly pipe is popular on the flat here, so cheap and the coils are gigantic.
900 foot deep? holy crap. I just found out mine is 150 feet deep and I thought that was crazy. I have to find a good used submersible to put in mine.
I have one but it might be to far from you.
Great system. Wells were deep...WOW
That is some great work done well done and thank you for the video.
Great Video! What's the purpose of such a large area of crush and run around the Waterer's? Thanks
The cistern at the top of the hill. Can that be buried underground as long as the elevation is high enough?
back in the day, my grandfather would set off a stick or two of dynamite near the bottom of the hole that would cause fractures and better flow of water
Ofc there is one, another well done!

Didn’t see did you install float switch .And do you ever travel to Africa we just put in a sqflex in a remote community in Kenya 10 100 watt panels

nice job, clean work!

wont the solar panel be rather vunerable to cows with an itch?

Can you give a general idea of what this project costs?
At 15:18 you mentioned a "simple pump" in the 800' well. Is that a hand operated pump and will it lift water that high?
Yes the well is 800 ft deep but the static water level is 60 ft so we set the simple pump down around 150. So there's at least 130 gallons of storage in this size casing that they can hand pump out as the well slowly recovers everyday.

Like wow! Nice job.
homesteadprepper appreciate it.
Did you test the Milwaukee PVC Shear on that mean rooster?
NoC Tempting.
Great video !
Good job!!! Would you come to Ireland?
I would love to!
Where are you located that u are at 900 ft?
Hi Clayton...
How much is hydroflacking?
why wasn't it working before?
Do you take jobs all across the country?
Tested water quality?
Awesome.
nice work
Blue balls? :)
i'm gonna do some prepper videos. wanna join me on one? or 2 or more?
Drill it, they will come.
Do you have an email
👍👍🇺🇸
Hahaha Burger king
