I had originally fixed this Pitless Adapter Well Head about 2 years ago. It seems like the owner dug down & tied into my repaired water line. If he wanted water access at the well head he should have just allowed me to put the system on the traditional well seal while I had it all exposed. This Video is the result of DIY repairs done with minimal plumbing knowledge.

"I don't want to touch the water, I might electricute myself....touch, touch." 😂
Wow, watching y'all bail out the water with a pot brought back memories of hurricane Alecia in 1983 and my dad bailing water out of our pump house. With a little pot just like that 🤣
Topic Suggestion: installing or replacing a pitless adaptor. Here in the upper Midwest (MN) almost every well has a pitless adaptor. Thanks and keep up the good work.
That a hell of a bird bath 😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing the “not so nice side”
That looks like a Revere copper clad sauce pan!
That there is a PROFESSIONAL grade Revere copper clad sauce pan. Speaking about a pot calling the kettle black, seems to me that fix was about on par with the DIY job.
Well the 3 pound faucet ornament probably didn’t help the stress on the pvc. Great video. Be Safe!
If the water carries a voltage it will not matter if you stick your finger or you whole hand in the water, it makes no difference. If the voltage is high enough it will kill you. Me as an electrical engineer I would always turn power off first. If I can't turn it off the I won't touch it. Just saying, your decision.
I am EE aswell.
Finger = small surface area ->lower current flow. Also if you just flick the finger on live circuit it will just briefly shock you. Problem is when you can't let go of some cable due to the electricity closing your muscles. Also 120V relative to ground in USA is quite safe.
That's a very good pan that you use for bailing. My mom gave me one like that when I got out of the USAF and was setting up a home in another state..
Revere Ware, got a set of them that are 20 years old.
Schedule 40 PVC properly installed will last a long time. I prefer it to pex especially with a lot of bends
The shut off for the winter.
DIY'ers = Job security.
We've got that same bird hose bib in the garden! Bought it NOS at a yard sale decades ago. Never saw another until today!
Seen a lot of similar ones in Canada. Birds, rabbits and such.
So when you evaluate a site for drilling, you check with surrounding properties to see how deep their wells are before you start. So you have an estimate of depth. When do you decide what pump to use? After you actually drill and decide how many gallons per minute you actually get?
I bet they were so proud when they finished!😮😅😊
Send the bill to them!
Freeze, break, fix, income in and on a regular basis!😂
I like that Bird! Whats wrong with that $45.00 Bronze Bird? 😂
Wow
Meby an idea to get one of them batary operated pumps
Must admit if it was me, off camera that bird would have been decapitated. 😂 You're a better man than me. 👍
OMG! That is, they still went through the adapter to the wellhead just to get a watering tap? Or does the adapter also have a tee located underground?
Hello, I live in south eastern Wisconsin and I need to replace my well’s bladder tank. What is the best bladder you would recommend that will last for many years? Thank you.
Just wonder if you would give consultation willing to pay what you want?
Its fine just fix it
Do you have a "property owner tried to fix-it" surtax for jobs like this one?
Would you want to shock the well after it was spilling down like that?
We did
Is that bad for the well pump to have to run continuously since there is no pressure tank?
There's a tank under the house
@@H2oMechanic2RC ok, i think I've I got it. So it doesn't matter that the tank comes after the fixture. The pump will still operate based on the pressure switch at the tank.

First off, thank you for your great content! I just want to caution you about bashing DIYers…your audience is mainly DIYers. I’m sure you DIY things yourself that are not “professional”.
DIY doesn't mean doing things the wrong way though. You can follow code and practices. If you do weird things they go wrong sometimes.
This one was pretty stupid of the homeowner. If you stop to please every group or police yourself as to not offend well that’s a sure way to exist in a state of misery.
dem male adapters...
Should have a hose Bibb vacuum breaker
That was really stupid for the home owner to do that.....
Just don’t do work like that unless you can get the homeowner to sign a contract which states in no uncertain terms that they are acknowledging that they are an absolute dumbass and you take no credit for the work as installed and will not warranty said work. When homeowners ask you, a skilled tradesman w pride in his work and skill, to cut corners so they can save a buck do the right thing and tell em to kick rocks. If everyone would stop acting like it’s your problem if the homeowner decides to hire a crack hear to do their job instead of a qualified person we’d all be better off
All you did was converted diy pvc to diy pex i dont understand what makes you any better
It's not better, just more flexible. I did as I was told by the customer
Pex has the ability to flex significantly without cracking
Do you have a "property owner tried to fix-it" surtax for jobs like this one?
