It looks like you're in Florida area. If you're in Florida I'll pay you to drill me a well
"If you believe you can do something, I guarantee you can do it." Good parting words. Here in the Hiroshima countryside, I was just quoted over $16,000 USD for a new, full-sized, traditional style well. They said my old well is "dry" and haven't given me any other options. Considering that I have a large property in the country without any underground cables, pipes, etc, I thought "I can just put my own well in." Seeing your video and others on RUclips has shown me that it is definitely doable. Thank you!
Growing up I had a well on our property and I can say there is nothing like drinking from the hose after riding our dirt bikes all day and having that clean dam near freezing water as much as you can want! The good old days LoL
As a roughneck soon to leave the rig I can appreciate this. You did a terrific job.
Liar
Great video! As others said, this is what utube is all about, learning how to do something constructive.
You tube is the best. I need a well n New mexico. I don’t know ,if this technique will work
Great video! I should have drilled a well 20 years ago knowing how simple it is to do. Thanks for the knowledge.
My friend couldn't afford to pay his water bill, so I sent him a "get well soon" card ... I'll send him your video too, thank you
I discovered this phenomenon on my own when I was about 6-7 years old. I would turn the garden hose on and just start pushing the end into the ground. Then, one day, I guess I pushed it a little too far and the ground "grabbed a hold" of the hose. My Dad came out and asked me, "How the heck did you manage that?!" He was furious! I mean, at least he could've admired my ingenuity, but nope. I just got grounded. Oh well. "Oh WELL"
Get the hose outta there? Or lose it? Funny story. Similar thing happened to me. Only I cut the hose low as I could, and disposed of the remnants in the Neihbor trash can. Lol never got caught. 😊
You can hook a water hose to pipe and use the water to jet under the driveway to get water on the other side just dig a ditch first to lay the first 10 feet in hell you need to bury the pipe anyway
Yep some parents don't recognize the genius in the mischief kids create lol
HAHAHAHAHAHA...YUP...I LEARNED PLAYING IN WATER AND DIRT...I SAW IN A VERY SMALL SCALE HOW FLOOD WATERS COVERED AND MOVED SOIL...LATER I LEARNED OF A BIBLICAL FLOOD....IT MATCHES...
@@jamesaardemajr.9703 Oh James...so SNEEKY...😉🙃
I’m so glad that you took the time to make this available
I did what you did about 5 or 6 years ago; I drilled 30' down for about a week of messing around, with a 2" semi-trash pump, and installed a hand pump at the first water table, which is only about 15' down for me. I have an exact replica of that pump and pressure tank system you've too, but it is going on 2 years old and still in storage for backup on our other system. We use a different pump and cisterns top of a hill.
Nice video, I am about to check out your solar panel video (we have solar panels too), I had been watching you before on your con research wall surfacing and didn't know you expanded into off-grid.
Cheers from East Texas.
Where in East Texas? Curious as I planned to dig one in Hardin County
@@susanconklin4945 Anderson Co. But if u have a lake or other surface water close by, then ur water table is close to that level.
I had a similar project. I used the ladder as a gantry (A frame) and used a com-a-long from the top of the ladder to the pipe wrench. A lot easier, in my application, with the ratcheting come a long
Looks like Florida. Same process I used 20 years ago to make a well on my lot. Went down to rock then used the Bobcat and auger to penetrate the rocks. In Hendry County the sand is often over limestone layers but if you hit one it's a great part to end your well once you penetrate. In southeast Florida you can simply pound a steel pipe in the coral rock. Removing pipe is easy with a skid steer and a flat belt (timing belt) wrapped around the pipe and lifting it.
Did you go through the limestone or stop there?
Same with my dad almost 25 yrs ago. We hit limestone at 27 feet and stopped. Excellent water for irrigation full of iron. Best lawn on our street back then. SW fla ¼ mile from intracoastal.
Lol, those bushes surely give it away. SW here
Looks like the Eustis neighborhood, although Ocala has MANY lots that look like that! Saying Hi from Crystal River!
@@flaplaya 😮
As a professional driller and holder of several U.S. patents I can tell you how to make your drill even faster and much easier. In effect, all you have to do is build a jetting screen. You can take the well points you already have and remove the check valve from the top of the screen and move it to the bottom of the screen. That is an old process that has been used for 50 or more years. You can buy one already made if you wish. Then use your process without the need for the casing or other tools and connect it to your jetting pump. I have installed thousands of jetted wells using this method. Usually I jetted with a "jetting pump" not the small centrifugal pump you are using. It will work with your pump though. In some areas of Florida, you will encounter coral rock and your process will not work. In other areas your pump will not put out enough volume and you will lock your drill stem up in sand and gravel. Every method of drilling must be matched to the location where you are wanting a well. Your system will not work without at least a 100 hp jetting motor in dense clay or in areas of large gravel.
I hope this helps you in your drilling venture. Your system will in fact be great for a large portion of people that are not looking for a professional quality well. If the idea is to risk a little money to get water, then it will fill the market. Thanks for your video.
I have been putting wells in for more than 40 years and this is the most difficult way to put a well in i have ever seen a lot of easier ways of doing it
We all wait impatiently for "your" video.
Sure, there are easier ways - and how many $$$$$ worth of equipment are required?
For sure, if you say its difficult let us see on your video how easy it is! We are waiting for 3 years now.
Great vibes on this guy! He’s like the Bob Ross of drains
This was just the inspiration I needed to drill a well! Cross your fingers for good clean water the family needs it!
You get that well goin?
I live in Portland Oregon metro area. Can’t do wells like that here. There is one area the town of Hillsboro Oregon and many homes in that town have water 2 feet down and many homes have irrigation pump to water their lawns no drinking water. Even during a drought this town has green lawns because of the high ground water. Fun video that is for sharing
David, I put a few wells / bores down in Rverside Drive- Briarwood, Lake Oswego and Johns Landing in 1976 & 77. Was back there a few years ago and saw 1 still inuse.
Water two feet down -- and flooding during heavy rains?
Great Video! RUclips suggested it to me at 11:20pm while I was watching family feud, but it was definitely a great suggestion
Ok loved the technique of diging a well with hi pressure gun. Never thought of using my hi pressure washer. Thanks
One good thing about living in N.C.,, we have the best tasting, crystal clear, clean, well water...
Thanks for the video.
Im about to do a wash in sandpoint for a customer and will be using a pvc style with a nozzle that adds to the tip. The nozzle has a check valve plus a 1” threaded connection inside the sand point for a barbed adapter to lightly thread into which will have a 1” rigid water line connected to my 2” water pump. Once the sand point is jetted in the barbed adapter is unthreaded via the rigid 1” line that was just used to wash it in. The check valve in the flushing nozzle tip of the sandpoint will be closed once flushing is stopped (its only job is for setting the sandpoint). Once the 1” flush line is removed from inside the 2” I will connect the 2” to the line to the pump in the house with a check valve inline and done. Water on.
That’s the plan, let’s hope it goes as planned. Haha
Good for you to explain all of that to us. I yes to do construction when I was 16 in the late 70's I missed my calling, I would have loved to do landscaping now and gardening of course. My skills only get better with your info thanks.
I dream to have all the knowledge you possess one day. I don’t know if I’ll ever need this well but thus video was amazing. So much detail but still easy to understand.
The day you need this is the day you won't be able to get the supplies needed to do so
Want Is what keeps us alive. The day we no longer wish, dream or want, it's the end of It all. Life Is good even if we don't get all we want. I hpoe you get your well some day, dough.
What I'm saying is, make it happen and by all means keep dreaming and planning, but strive to make the dreams and plans manifest into reality. 👍 ✌️
I learned from experience,
To give a fitting a 1/4" turn so it sets just right!
Did this in northern hemisphere
Thanks 👍
The only way it will work unless the water table is really high.
I like your state " if you believe in something, you can do it" thank you so much for posting great 👍videos
This is the answer to my off-grid under the radar living.
To pull up 2" pipe : Half hitch a nylon tie strap around pipe and loop the other end around a 42" farm jack. Works great for small trees and fence posts too! 👍
Trying that now on a stubborn fencing T-Post, used a heavy chain and the chain broke! Going to try climbers nylon webbing -- if that wont work ill try water pressure. Water pressure can cut steel.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I don't have water in my place, but I can't offer it to much money for me. I'm going to trying to make well by myself the way you're doing. Thank you.
Chuck I'm totally blown away by what you were able to do. It's definitely a two to three month project and if you've got the patience it's definitely worth it.
Hey, I like this video. I'm going to share it with my cousin. He. Just bought 10 acres in south Texas.
This is basically how I thought to do this but I didn't know about using the different diameter of pipes. Thanks for sharing 💪
Thank you for your video. I put in my first 25' well 7 years ago, and was looking to expand it to 60' for drinking water. Guess whos going to Harbor Freight this week... lol
Nice, I don't even need a well, but it's nice to learn how things are done from someone who knows what they're doing!
I NEVER KNEW THIS PROCESS. IT SEEMS THIS IS MOSTLY SAND.. WHAT ABOUT ROCKY SOILS.. YOU'LL NEED HEAVIER DUTY MECHANISMS WON'T YOU? JUST ASKING. ALOT OF "KNOW-IT-ALLS" IN THE COMMENTS. ESPECIALLY WHEN U MIXED UP THE WIRING STATEMENT YOU PROBABLY MEANT TO SAY:"**Black is hot on 110 and 220 and white is ALWAYS the neutral in a 110 volt circuit." BUT MOST VIEWERS KNOW U R NOT IN AUSTRALIA.. SO THAT'S A NON-ISSUE. TY FOR SHARING THIS METHOD. RESPECT. Sis MargoKansas City
This guy dont know much. Just monkey see monkey do.
I don't need well water to drink but I came because I want to add geothermal cooling to my home. Ground water below six feet is a constant 55 degrees and can be used for free/cheap Air Conditioning. Pump it up and let gravity return it near the top of the well and it will naturally recirculate. Then pump it through an A/C coil in your furnace. When your A/C thermostat calls for cooling, it turns on a pump instead of the normal condenser which uses a ton of electricity. If one well is not enough, place a second well 12 feet away and have valves switch them out by temperature automatically so you always have cold water.
I watched you make your home well and your B&B mini’s well. I love your good outdoorsy attitude. I’m going to do this myself. Thank you
Was really focused and enjoyed the video. I have been contemplating doing some thing very similiar to this process and have a couple of questions. I am familiar with underground water layers and am thinking that one you had the 2” down to the level your were sure would produce water... why not pull the 2” out and insert another 2” that was perforated to allow water. Then mud pump the 2” perforated pipe to make it clean to the bottom of the hole. Once it is cleaned out, insert the 1” as shown. The 2” would then allow massive water production for the 1” pipe and greatly prolong the possibility of the 1” pipe from collecting sands against it that would slow water production after use. Basically a screen for the screen. Fine sands tend to clog a pipe like yours after some use and hinder water production.
Not trying to be a know it all... just trying to learn and curious if you have considered this line of thought.
Yes that would have been a MUCH BETTER way to do it, his "well" is going to plug up very fast!
Why not just start out with the 2" perforated pipe and not have to pull out the original 2"? Is that an option?
@@freedomaintfree1030 my thought was why not do the whole shaft in schedule 40 (or 80) 4 inch pipe that you can then lower in a submersion pump attached to the output pipe. Then you can go deeper and if needed, pull the pipe back out to replace the pump when it wears out in 10 years.
@@SI-GOD and you wouldn't have to sorry about the pump freezing and cracking.
Awesome video and nice job. Does the state location matter was this done in a warmer climate Fla? Thanks
Awesome video. I replaced a jet pump that cools my AC unit with one of those everbuilts and after only a year and some change, it’s screaming like it threw a bearing. I wouldn’t buy one again…. Cast iron is the way to go, Gould or something like those. Got a harbor freight sump pump that has been great so far as well
Works great for removing bushes as well. No need for shovel or pick. Just jet the dirt away from the root ball and throw the whole thing away.
how they mine for gold and diamonds in africa.
I just did that to a 60 year old shrub in front of my house. Worked great.
Hey! That's a really smart application for this trick!
I have the exact same Predator pump. It's worked great for a couple of years now. I start it up without the choke. The only time that I needed to choke it was in the winter when it's stupid cold outside.
I like the way you explain in great detail how to start an engine. Because people who don’t know how to do that should definitely be undertaking a project like this. /sarc
Always gotta be one of you people out there that just has to get your rude comment in ... the fact that you zero in on such a petty little detail just says you're looking for something to be a prick about... what are you a teenager? You are the one watching him for information. You have alot to learn from this man besides the subject at hand you have a big leap before you reach any level of respect in his class. It's not common these days to see people like him that are genuine and know who they are. He is his own character... secure... giving his time to help people... then somebody like you had to come up and say something stupid about something stupid to pick on his character.
God gives us the freedom to be who we want to be... we either follow him and seek understanding and righteousness or we don't and are therefore useless and destructive... to be cast out...

@@RJCooper2 LOL, and this somehow negates the clear truth of what I said? Hint: No, it doesn't. I mean it's commendable on some level that you come to the defense of your fellow morons, but that too does not reduce the truth of my comment. Sorry! :-)
Your a genius. Thank you for showing this well drilling method! 36 feet! Incredible!
We did similar things with well points. An a jet pump to suck the water out the ground so they could dig some what dry to put in the storm drains. This is a killer idea.
I'd like to see Drain Addict use the drain cleaning pressure attachments he uses to try this. Those things cut out roots from pipes and would be interesting to see how well they could dig a well.
What a awesome video!!! I love drainage and water stuff! 🍎🍏
What if oil starts coming up...what do you do then? Load up the truck and move Beverly Hills? 😄
call cousin Pearl!
Black gold. Texas tea.
You shut everything down and call EPA or DEQ then plan on spending big bucks for clean up because you won't own the oil or mineral rights. I hear Klaus owns them now. I can't believe they let us have water rights.
Please don't forget granny
I was going to suggest you immediately dig another two dozen or so and not say a word....................
I think this is chucks best explained well drilling video
You are a wizard when it comes to water. Did you create that well just for the yard? Could this not be a water source for the house?
Shouldn’t have watched this now I have another project for this summer. Good video.
I'm getting ready to do my own well for an off grid place
Chuck...a consumate professional...always checking the equipment!
One recommendation is for the two inch once in the mud and sand use a perforated casing to make bailing or jetting easier when the well point get sanded in. Just my experience.
Hey dude do you have an old fashioned tire jack you could use it to jack the pipe out. I used one to remove some fence posts out via soaking base with water. Take longer but save on back n muscle.
Just so you know... Running the pump at 220v cost the same as 120v. 22o uses half the current (Amps) as the 110, but it's twice the volts. So the Wattage is the same, which is why they charge us by the Watt/hour. P=V(A)
Shew! Thank you.
watt x hr. not watt/hr is what you probably meant😊
This is good information. I do feel that the first thing anyone digging should do is call or contact your local one call service to locate utilities.
Know where your utilities are BEFORE YOU DIG.
I had no idea what this was about, but its quite interesting, and I think I've actually learned something from it
To build anything in Florida commercial construction companies just an air jet nozzle on the end of pipe, then add a suction pump to drain the area of water where they plan to dig.
Great positivity. Liked the way you were happy even when you were struggling.
RUclips algorithms are on point atm. What an amazing video, so concise, so informative. Feel like this is going to be my next project. Have subed to your channel 👍
Try that in Maine. Love to watch..
Very pleased to view this complete comprehensive presentation. Everything I anticipated was thoroughly and casually explained. I will now proceed with my own well with more confidence.
I totally would hang out with this guy. He seems cool as hell
Wow, how interesting, I'm gonna have to try that! I would like to of seen the complete time lapse video from the very beginning to the very end, without skipping anything though.
I love this. Thanks for making this video. Water self-sufficiency is critical.
Here in Florida, on the barrier islands, the wells have a decent natural pressure. Not enough to spin a sprinkler, but good for drip. Can't drink it though.
@@KB-pk8cn just make sure you empty the barrels weekly, i think you should be good.
Very good information and a good presentation thank you so I decide to do a well I'm going to do it exactly like you did a great job
I have used a chain, cinder block and a board to pull well pipe with the teeter totter method.
Nice job! Thanks for the video, I am gathering supplies now. Also, your videos are pleasant as well
I wish that method would work where I am, here the ground is extremely rocky even though in most places the water table isn't that deep. Drilling wells or digging is almost the only way to go
Can you do this without the dirt pump . As a extra cost that I wouldn’t use that often just wondering would this still work without the harbor freight dirt pump .
120 feet of stone here. I give the jetting time, about 10 years.
Lol, I relate. I run into a bed of caliche 6 inches down.... Reminds me of an aluminum bat against a concrete mailbox (misspent youth. Don't judge me)!!!
You just gotta belive you can do it in 5 years.
Add grit to the pressure washer fluid (after the pump of course), and you can cut rock.
I was wondering about this. I have family in west Texas and South Central Tennessee and neither are like the soil we have in Michigan.
@@YodaWhat or higher pressure
I learned from the irrigation assembly plant near Moses Lake Washington that if you use a 4in Inlet line to pull the water out you'll have no problem with line resistance in maintaining water pressure see the pump system of 28 in per minute I installed the 4-inch line on my two point six acres at the time and even in my very backyard I could squirt with the water hose up in the air and easy 30 ft all I can say is the irrigation specialist that in for me to do so I think them because it worked perfectly 4 over 15 years up until I sold the property
Does the glue joining the pipes set that fast to be able to drop the pipe and be certain the pipe does not push out and you are able to get a secure joint.. Thanks for sharing your experience and project!!! It is always a bit more complicated it seems.Wishing lots of great clean water for you man.
This video brought back some good memories. Back in the 80's my neighbor got the idea that we should sink some wells. We did 4 in 2 weekends. We rented the mud pump but used a kiddie pool and the recirculate idea. Wish we had the pressure washer jet trick back then. I used a 220vac pump but also ran 110vac to the pump house too, for an outlet inside. Useful when working in the pump house and also to keep it from freezing.
That was great. Mission accomplished.
This looks a lot easier than a drive drill thank you for this vid
I am very impressed with your work ❗ Definitely I will use your idea. 1 question. How do I know where to dig the well? Thank you for sharing your talent ❗🐾🤗
Have you ever tried dowsing rods? You can make your own and I've watched people use them and find water. It was just a thought but personally I think you could dig deep enough anywhere you'll find water.
@@stevengerhardt1221 unless you find oil. Lol
@@stevengerhardt1221 I found where to dig my dug well with dowsing rounds. Even just for fun try them, get 2 metal coat hangers, cut them and bend them into an L, hold the short ends in your hands loosely with the long ends extended forward and walk around. You'll be surprised at how much they will move. I dug my well where the rods crossed worked out sweet.
I have a cistern well that was hand dug over 100 years ago. The entire 35” cistern is lined with boulders from the top to the bottom. There’s no mortar at all and some of the boulders are huge. I have limited water since I use the ground water table that’s finite. In the summer it’s higher and in the winter it’s much lower. I ran new pipes , point, and check valve. I also added about eight inches to the depth. Even if I could afford a deep well I’d keep this beauty for its historic legacy.
So how do you know if and when you hit an underground source?
Ditto
Your water will disappear
Only thing I needed to know thank you sir you are the best......so simple and effective!
I put a shallow well in using a pulley in a tree, a heavy fence post driver, a 21' section of 2" galvanized pipe and a water hose. Lift and drop. A mud hog pump after pipe driven in and we had drinkable water here in Orlando, Fl.
@jeff kurtz you only went down 21 feet jeff?
Can you drive a sandpoint through shell rock?
You rock sir, thank you for sharing and have a great day.

harbor freight 180$ gas powered auger to get the hole 8 inch wide by 3-4 feet deep in a matter of minutes,just to get the hole started
post hole diggers for a 3-4 ft hole in less time than the trip to HF
You are very smart my friend.
The well should of had the 2” line removed and some holes drilled in the bottom 5’ or so and then put back in to make a casing for the well to keep the sand from collapsing in on the 1” well pipe the the 1” should be lifted of the bottom a couple of feet so it won’t sand off over time
Yes these shallow wells in Florida can sand up over time. So: 1) No reason to pull the 2 inch out . Why not drill the holes in the two inch 5 inch up when you use the two inch pipe. The only reason this would not work is - you do not have enough water jet volume or pressure. However by using a mud pump you can achieve it no problem. Just cut off the 2 inch pipe- why not
I find it pretty brilliant, hard work but worth it.
Looks like Florida. We used something similar to cut channels under sidewalks for Irrigation lines. Might work in my part of NC bit not going to happen in Texas.
depends on which part. Once you get south and east of san antonio, it's sand much like Florida. West and north of SA, you're into the hill country and limestone formations...you're right this won't work well (if at all) there.
@Persnikitty I can only hope the water table is high/shallow. Our "irrigation bill" on our slightly-less-than-two-acre "ranchette" was over $330 last month, and if we have a typical hot, dry, South Texas summer, the grass will demand that it be watered, if we are to have a lawn at all. Of course, drilling a well, even a small, shallow one is way down the list of projects I have in front of me. And, while I'm not a frail 68, I am still 68, and a one man workforce. So, building sheds, a shop, installing a metal roof on the house, getting solar installed, and digging a basement (thank goodness for sandy soil!), and getting a good water catchment system going, I'm pretty booked. Oh, and let's not forget pruning the oak trees (there are about 40 trees on the place that have pretty much been ignored for years!) and getting reasonably good fencing up along with remodeling the kitchen, two bathrooms, and maybe adding another bathroom or two.
@@jasonstarr6419 wow sounds like you have a lot on your plate at the moment!
Where do you know to start to dig for this water ?
How does the pump not get clogged with sand ? The slot size on that well point are not small enough to stop the sand coming through. What slot size sand point did you buy? Thanks!!
I was always told to keep the foot valve up off the bottom of the hole .the casing pipe was perforated and goes to the bottom of the hole acting as the well filter. The top of the casing is a good height above ground level and then concreted to stop ground water leaching back down the well. But thats just the way I've seen it done in oz. This looks more like a sand spear set up rather than a well. 🤔🤨😃😎
Your videos helped me put my own french drain in.. Sincerely, Thank you Chuck
Your electrical cost is the same on 110v or 220v. The only difference is the amperage draw is l/2 on the 220v. There you can save on using a smaller gauge of wire depending on the load. Volts x Amps = Kilowatts is what you pay your bill on. Kilowatts is the same for both voltages.
Depending on distance from electrical source there could be more of a voltage drop on 120v vs 220v thereby causing volts to drop and amps to rise causing motor to accomplish less work and shorten its life.
Lower voltage is more amps and amps is heat. Heat is wasted energy in this pumps case.
@@jcook3707 The longer the wire the resistance goes up which creates a voltage drop on the wire which will be heat or energy loss. Amp stays the same. I=V/R. The motor will see a lower voltage which could damage it since the resistance is inversely proportional to voltage. So if you double the voltage and the current is the same you can run a smaller wire because less of a voltage drop.
V x A = W, not kW
V x A ÷ 1000 = kW
Florida-Man strikes again. And this time I’m impressed!
Great idea you had there. I’m sure it was a lot of hard work physically. Nice one.
On another note, I use a jetter almost daily and I’m pretty sure if a different nozzle was used time could of been saved, not a cheap nozzle by any means.
Do you mind explaining in detail what other nozzle I could use? I am going to try this next weekend and every little bit of help is appreciated. 😊🌷🌞🌸
@@sarramiller976 sure it’s a mustang jetEx nozzle from the jetters edge
@@sarramiller976 unless you live in ann area that has a shallow water table, and nothing but sand soil this "method" WILL NOT work!
Can you convert from a 1in to a 2 in chuck ? I have a mud pump that is a one 1in
Interesting use of the drain snake on the pressure washer. I've used my PW to install a large number of metposts (3 or 4ft metal stake which you would normally hammer into the ground whilst trying to keep them vertical in 2 planes!) Using just my PW, I can build a simple jig to keep the jet perfectly vertical whilst I bore a 4ft hole in less than a minute. The metpost then simply pushes into the muddy hole. With the 4x4 posts, that last few inches of metpost is persuaded in by simply standing on it!
I managed to sink a 12' scaffold pole using the same method, the PW created the first 4' whilst the toothed edge I created managed to dig the rest using a simple oil filter removal chain (I didn't have a large enough stilsons / monkey wrench to grip the pole). Just wish I had known that my drain snake would've worked.
Awesome video I've always wanted a well in the backyard my build told me years ago that a creek bed ran back there
Unfortunately where we are in Ontario, Canada there is way too much rock of all sizes left over as the Glaciers melted after the last Ice age or it's thick clay or shale rock.
Great video... I've enjoyed them all and in a few weeks I need to run a French drain or two to stop our yard from flooding everytime we get heavy rain or when the snow melts in the spring.
The Canadian Shield!
Nice man. Good teacher. Big heart. Thank you. See you in heaven.
