Martin Johnson - Off Grid Living , if you are allowed down 18 feet , why not get a crew and dig down 18 with 8 feet diameter , this will hold over 1000 gal. and replenish itself it a matter of hours , as you sleep at night it will be full by morning , but you do what you think is best
That’s pretty cool. I dug an 8 ‘ hole with the hand auger then lined it with a 6’ pipe. I used water pressure to shoot down a smaller pvc inside down to 27’. Worked great. With the pond right there you could jet one down pretty deep. There are plenty of videos showing what I’m talking about.
Hi, I am not sure if you sealed the casing at the bottom, if not I believe you will struggle to get clean water. You want the water to come thru the sides of the casing and not the bottom.....all the best!
Since it looks like your clay layer is always to the surface, I would keep drilling until you hit gravel below the clay layer. Generally the clay inhibits water flow. You can use a bit inside the existing casing to keep reaming the hole deeper below the current casing. Every 5 feet push the casing down 5' and attach a casing extensions (not slotted). Get the max water flow you can on the driller bit as it's what washes out the cuttings. Once you go below the clay layer into gravel, that is where the water should be. One thing: don't stop the bit in the hole the cuttings will settle out and freeze the bit in the hole and you will not get it out. Happened to a friend with the same sort of rig at about 100' down. Keep the bit turning while pulling it out, except while you change pipe lengths. Good luck.
I would have put a cap on the end of the well casing. The casing will eventually sand up from the bottom and give you problems. Also, a screen mesh around the sits you cut. Otherwise, it stll should last for a few years. Good job!
I see you work so hard, Id like to offer a few suggestions. I am also on my own well project, Ive spent quite some time on the subject and feel I am qualified to point out some things that you should have done differently. 1- Cap the bottom of the pipe, sediment will build up otherwise inside the pipe rendering the well useless. 2- The slits you made in casing, too large, the casing will allow too much sediment inside again causing the well useless 3- You will need a gravel pack around outside of casing to filter the material that enters your casing 4- You made an effort to remove the coconut shavings within your well casing, just not enough effort, they will cause you future problems within the pump. 5- Off grid living implies a respect for nature, dumping your plastic shaving into the pond and into the forest implies your only concerned with what you have going on at the moment and little concern for the environment around you. You may wish to reflect on this, we all ( including myself ) try to tell ourselves that this little infraction is no biggie when in fact the little infractions made by us all add up to encompass the largest oil spills in history as an example. Good luck with your well, I understand your urgency to accomplish this but I would suggest a much greater deal of time spent in researching what needs to be done instead of jumping the gun on something that may or may not work for what you mean to accomplish. Have a nice day
End cap, filtration sock, one foot of well gravel at the base from 19' to 18'), well gravel up to one foot above the top of the inlet cuts, bentonite the well to grade, and add a concrete domed cap at surface level. You first bore hole is crossing to the new well. You use HP air to condition the well, it takes forever to pump out the mud and it clogs the inlet cuts but you had some major fun. (Good idea of square drive with pins, the water inlet is not as easy to engineer. Bob in Nevada
A few things from a geologist: 1) most kerfs on a circular blade are much larger than the typical well screen. The issue you can run into with that is that you will likely have sediment infiltrate the entirety of the well screen interval. 2) I did not see any filter sand inserted around the well casing. Next time, use a clean coarse silica sand (with a finer screen) and you will get much more life from your well. 3) always purge the volume of the well, plus some more, after you install a well to develop it correctly. Especially if you drilled with bentonite clay as your drilling mud and even more importantly if you ever were to use your well for consistent, relatively clean water usage. 4) please test this well for it’s water quality and be careful when using this well for drinking purposes
One thing from a Well driller! never forget a sock on they end of the casing. Fine sand is needed when you drill the hole, you are looking for that and you,se that as youre infiltrate. And the Sock ofcourse. Greets from the netherlands. Oh yeay what i say in this youtube film, he was turning his rod outside the drillinghole!! danger!!
Lol Drilling with Bentonite? You realize this isn't for an oil and gas well? You didn't notice that they were getting there fluid from a pond, and that they are drilling with an Ice auger? Lol Edit your comment and tell them they should have drilled there surface hole with invert, and take samples every 1/2 ft to bring too the rock sniffer!!!
They make a pipe that is mostly screen that is made for this. It keeps the mud and other particulates out of your well, but lets water flow in freely. I think, though, that you will need to be a lot deeper. A well man will likely be able to tell you the average depth for your area.
Marcia Marcia the soil you remove from the hole should be the back fill, you drop gravel around the casing to filter, then backfill with soil you’ve removed from hole. Never place anything but the pump down the hole
I literally do this for a living you get quarts sand and fill around the outside of the screen (PVC with slits ) to two feet above the screen then you put bentanite as a plug a foot thick or expanding clay you hydrate the expanding clay and it keeps surface contamination from getting into the well then fill it with pea gravel or quickcrete
Thank you....I Got your ideas on how to make a DIY Well Drilling Machine....Actually everyone needed to save money than to making contracts from anyone....Instead to pay, it is very saving to make our own DIY drilling machine...In my country Philippines if having a contract from drilling companies is not easy and you spending lots of money for just a drilling only without materials yet.... i am very enjoyed watching your videos...
Weh! Thanks all of you for sharing this video! I have always been fascinated with whel drilling and not wasting money when you can do these jobs yourself. Awesome work!!!
Maybe in the drilling process you are silting up the area contaminating the lower free draining soil with man made silt from the upper level. Is there a way to flush that silt out one you have reached the depth.
on oil wells they circulate and condition the hole for 20 hours before coming out for wire line logging... so the hole doesnt fall in and they have to go back to bottom all over again, clean out the hole... and come all the way out again to get logging tools.... and later casing if the well is deemed produceable... to bottom.
Pretty neat set up since you have a generator running you should Swapmoutbthehandcrank winch for a electric or one you can operate with a electric drill or impact driver ? Otherwise I really admire what you guys built
Good job Next time use a few bags of pea gravel first ...then backfill. It will help stop sand particles from entering well screen. Again, great teamwork and job!
@@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving Here in Chile is it SPRING! So right you are because it was frosty here this morning. We live in the temperate zone of Chile (sort of just north of the South Pole). We are as you know headed into spring here in Chile, and yes I am looking forward to it for sure. We have multiple springs on our homestead and there fore have many good sources for potable water here. Our spring has been "Contained" for around 10 years but we were the first to put a pump on it. The prior owner used 2 concrete culvert 4 foot pipe to contain the spring and it does an excellent job. We put our pump on top of the clam shell cover which lets a pipe with a foot valve go down to the bottom of the pool. We use it pretty strongly and had it tested as well and have had great results. Have you put in your septic system yet? We have done 2 at 4,000 Liters each which is over sized for our house and cabana (one each), with 150 foot of run for the drain field on each as well. This is about the 6 septic system I have personally installed over my short time on this earth. As you can expect we were not required to have permits or inspections on the septic or any other thing as well. Also with all of this we have NO property taxes at all for life. Thanks for the videos. Jim
Hi neat video and great set up...one question where did you get the rotary water coupling from ? if you could please add link to it or brand of unit... cheers
not trying to be an arm chair quarter back, but holding that stem under power is dangerous, you can control the gyration at the bottom by taking a good 2 x 4 with a 1 1/4 inch hole in the center for the stem, and notched on each end to rest on the support legs. this allows the stem to turn freely and yet keeps you from having to hold it. other point, you are using a vice grip to hold the stem, but as the bore become larger, you can risk losing it down the bore if the ground collapses. this is prevented again with your 2 x 4 holding the vice grip. the other option is to make a metal c ring that has extensions to hold the stem from slipping. i hope you sterilized your well. pumping water from that pond, put all the bacteria in that pond into the strata you are drawing from
Hi Martin. Please where can I get all the items used to drill. I'm in uk but will me in an off grid land in jamaica in a year or so. I'd appreciate to be able to source the bits and pieces. What if we have hard rock to get through. Can this system do it? many thanks.
What is the attachment you use to tee water into the drill pipe? I’ve seen some products sold online but they don’t appear to be compatible with an auger
Your a genius Martin. I'd want a 4.5inch hole so a 4" cylindrical well pump can go in as well. I'm locating to the Caribbean in a couple years time and need a bore hole with casing. I have disability so can't build it. Would you take on my project all expenses paid please.
it hs to be old... as it has BRIGGS motor on it with pretty substantial gearbox on it. now a person cld get posthole digger 2 smoke power unit and do it by hand, no derrick... unless make one out of pipe or 4x4 to help lift the pipe/pull on the pipe if it gets stuck... if dont circulate circulate circulate the hole... ream each joint down after drill it down... come up... ream it down with full circulation and THEN make the connection with another joint of pipe so the hole is in good shape with bentonite clay to keep the hole from falling in... too much. stabilizers/reamers on the pipe on both ends to keep the pipe from wobbling and to ream the hole out as go down... drill 4" hole... and then have wings on the pipe to open it up to 5" ... 6" to run 4" PVC pipe for 4" downhole electric pump
That is the real question, every thing else is straight forward, but where do you get one of those. Another video has drawings of how to make one but I can't really figure them out.
Did you close the underside of the pipe. If not it will not work. The pipe will fill with mud and sand. At least that is my experiance here in the Netherlands. I allways closed the pipe with a block of wood or a plastic cap. And I should have closed the slits with old painties of special netting to keep the sand out. Good luck with your well.
J I live in AZ to juniper woods yes the permit is 450.00 unless you have federal land patented then the state and county have no authority personally what you do on your property is your business however looks good but what happens when you hit rock
casing guide shoe is what it is called... with float . like float in toilet tank. to keep fluid out running into the hole to "float" the pipe into the hole... like a battleship floats as it has no water in it... til get so deep and then need to fill the pipe to keep the pressure of the fluid column outside of the pipe from collapsing the empty casing.
sengwe setogile leebog31 I let my father in law talk me into buying one of these for my cabin in Alaska. I drilled down 20’ and hit rock in 3 places. The unit does not work drilling through rock. The company the sold us the unit said we could buy a $1000 bit and it would drill through rock. I did not want to waste any more money so, I gave up on the well. Now the unit has been cannibalized by the in laws. My neighbor said when the well drillers were drilling his well the machine hit bedrock at 40’. The commercial drilling machine took 2 hours to punch through. If a commercial well drilling machine takes 2 hours to punch through, how long do you think this machine will take? If you live where the soil is like the one in the video, I guess it would be the way to go.

The best estimate for a professionally drilled well is $30,000.
@@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving it varies a lot, I've gotten quotes as low as $8000 with pump and pressure tank, red clay, charlotte, nc
did you consider a filtering system on the outside of those slits/ the pvc pipe? like how they do with drainage pipes
Always drop at least a 5 gallon bucket of washed pete gravel down the casing for a sediment filter
Good idea

The company the sold us the unit said we could buy a $1000 bit and it would drill through rock. I did not want to waste any more money so, I gave up on the well. Now the unit has been cannibalized by the in laws. My neighbor said when the well drillers were drilling his well the machine hit bedrock at 40’. The commercial drilling machine took 2 hours to punch through. If a commercial well drilling machine takes 2 hours to punch through, how long do you think this machine will take?
If you live where the soil is like the one in the video, I guess it would be the way to go.
no that will not go through rocks
Do you have the design drawing of your drilling rig
