May I ask you a question. I have low pressure and volume. The well pump is at around 170 ft I have filled my pool and forgot it was on and ran it 20 hrs and it never went dry. The bladder tank is maybe 10 years old the pump is a 1 hp and is around the same age. 3 years ago I had to replace the line to the house it was 3/4 and I put 1 inch in to replace it. It has a 30 50 switch I think. I live in south central Pennsylvania. I believe my water level is around 40 ft. Any help?

@@1leggedmedia test #1 turn off the pump breaker and see if the pressure gauge drops to 0. If it does, then that means you have a leak in the drop pipe. Normally low flow means it's a leak, or the pumps old & worn out internally. 10 years for a 1hp is a few years past its normal life expectancy.

Well said I can't say it better than that ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

About 10 years ago, our original well pump check valve failed causing the water to be pushed back down the well. The pump was about 30 years old at this point and still "worked". I called a well company to come out and we quickly found out the pump was stuck at the bottom. He didn't have an ups-a-daisy or a pump truck. The guy jerked us around for a few weeks. We still had water, so it wasn't an emergency at this point. I ended up calling another well guy. He came out with a pump truck and yanked the pump out. It got jammed in the well after about 10 feet and the poly line pulled out of the pump nipple. No biggie, we have ~15 feet of static water in a 150' well. He put a Gould slimline soft-start pump at about 110'. That thing only lasted 2 years before it just quit. Of course, while I was in the shower, it decides to give up the ghost. I then called a new well guy, who offered a hell of a lot more information about wells than the last 2 guys. He was the first one to sanitize the well. Turned out, our grandmothers used to play bingo together. My point is, The first to clowns didn't seem to really care about helping us. They only wanted our money. I can tell by the way you work, you truly care about your workmanship and your customers. I really do appreciate and respect that.

Good day. I'm from South Africa. My grand father drilled boreholes in South Africa, Lesotho and Namibia. Anyways, your video was very inspiring to me, as I soon have to install a bore hole pump at my house. On thing I have noticed in South Africa is that a nylon rope will also be attached to a pump to act as an extra safety measure to ensure that the pump does not fall into the borehole and a splicing kit is used to ensure that the wire connections does not get wet while the pump is in the bore hole. I was very impressed with this video and will soon look at your other videos. Thank you

Skilled trades are suffering because of the notion of "you need a college degree to make money" philosophy. Kids nowadays are pressured into college, at the ripe age of 17 they are supposed to know what they are supposed to specialize in, for the rest of their lives, and the majority have no idea. So they invest the time and money in a garbage degree, or barely get by in a "desirable" degree and then fail in the open market as they cant foster the skills to succeed, and no company will spend time for them to learn. No high school backs up the town garbage truck to the parking lot on career day, for students to take a ride on and see if they like it.. It's not glamorous, the stigma of failure stinks more than the garbage in the truck.. but guess what? You ride that truck out of high school and by your late 40's you are making well over median income, have a pension and health care all set to go. You retire with 80 percent of your income and healthcare all set, you can now do whatever the hell you want for the rest of your life. A very comfortable life. Drive a truck with a CDL. 6 years after graduating high school, I guarantee the truck drivers are doing better than 50 percent of the college grads, with no student loan debt, working a DOT limited number of hours, and delivering the goods to the Mcdonalds the kid that went to college is managing but making less money while working more hours. Now you learn a skilled trade, put in the hard work the first 6 to 8 years to get licenses, continue your education, and start your own business? You are printing money. College degree types make the most in the upper few percent that make it, but they have expensive houses and toys that need trades to work on, and you can do very very well by being the best at your trade, hire and train the right people, spend the time bringing them up to your level and pay them well.. you will make more than most classmates you graduated with, that went to college. There are so many career options high schools need to start presenting to students, unfortunately standardized testing requirements have squashed that. Standardized testing fails are nothing but cracks and voids those willing to work can fill, and do very well as a living.

@timothymilam732

​@@sc5015standardized testing teaches the kids to memorize the answers just long enough to pass the test, but it doesn't teach them how to remember things for a lifetimes use to their advantage. Our school systems have failed us for well over 50 years now, and I am a prime example of this fact. I had a teacher in second grade that apparently didn't like me, because she continually told me that I was stupid. Then she failed me, and held me back in second grade for another year. I adapted the thinking that I was too stupid to learn for a time, but I never did any type of school homework, are classroom work ever again, and this lasted until my freshman year of high school. At which time I had started skipping classes altogether, and it ended up that the school decided that since I didn't want to be there, then they didn't have time for my nonsense, and I was released from school with signed papers saying that I, my parents, are the school district were not to be penalized for this. So at 14 I went to work, and since that time I've tried two trades. First one was in the Boiler makers union, and I worked in that for three years, and since this was early to mid 70's work was not steady in the trades. It was either stay in the trade, and travel around the country from job to job never really having a chance to have a permanent place to live at my age, are get out of that profession, and find another. Well it was hard to adjust from making great money $8.75 back then was a great amount of money for anyone, especially when I was up until the last lay off working unlimited overtime. But those days were over if I wanted to establish myself a permanent place to live, and meet someone significant to be lifelong relationship. So I started in a small mom and pop HVAC company doing residential systems. Wasn't a bad place to work, but minimum wage was a lot less money than I had made several months earlier, but it paid enough to let me get an apartment with a friend, and buy a truck to get back and forth to work since my car had give up on me. Wasn't long, and I figured out residential wasn't where the money was, and after couple years moved on to a company did commercial systems. Learned a lot from them a lot of new construction, and a fair amount of changing out old equipment which we replaced with new. After 10 years there, I moved on to a company that did new construction on high rise buildings hospitals and industrial type work. I'd found my place in the world, and I'd been foreman at last place I'd worked all those years at. It didn't take long, and I made foreman there, and couple years later I was supervisor over large construction projects running multi million dollar projects for all the mechanical trades that we had at the company, plus all the sub contractors that work with these trades. At first place I'd worked I'd met a nice young lady that I later married we'd had three sons, and life was good by time I went to work for the third company. My wife had convinced me to take my GED, and set me up with a place to study for the test. Turned the lady down for the study course, but I made a deal with her. If I failed, then I would return to study under her, and I would explain to everyone that I had tried on my own and failed. If she never heard from me again, then she could assume that either I'd passed, or that I wasn't a man of my words. Just to be honest with her, I made the trip back to talk to her, and show her the paperwork showing her that I'd passed with flying colors. 93 was the grade I received for all the different classes I'd passed the test for individually since it was average score across all of them. The thing I want to say about my school years was that most of my teachers gave me lucks for refusing to do any school work, but yet from the second time in second grade until the 8th grade I was passed onto the next grade without any problems. I even played every sport that was in my school district, and this was at the beginning of no pass no play. Yet I never missed a days practice or missed one single game inspite of the fact I still did no class work of any type. Not exactly true because I had a couple classes I liked that interest me, and that was drafting, crafts class, and mechanics shop, but nothing to do with actually turning in any paperwork. Drafting I'd fold it up, and stick it in my back pocket take it home. Funny how that teacher effected my thinking, and if she'd been positive influence instead of a mean person who knows what I could have done in life. But fortunately I was given the ability to work on most anything mechanical, and figure it out very quickly. That and common sense has made my life better than anyone expected it to be. So the trades need new people men or women, it doesn't matter as long as they have the desire to learn, and aren't afraid to work for what they want outta life. The trades will take care of their families as long as they work for whoever they work for, and do the best they can. That's my say on what you have stated, and I agree with you whole heartedly. He does excellent job of explaining in a way people can understand what he is doing. I'm sure there's more to it that experience automatically makes him have to stop and think about it for a second, but he doest explain for that reason. Yet he covers it very well otherwise, and I'm sure some day he'll take over for his dad and then he'll be the top man on the job of running the business.

Nice, watching you install a water well pump, from start to finish. We have a well that produces 7gpm, yet still have 2-1250 gallon cistern/water storage tanks, it's customary to have storage tanks around here, even though mines never gone dry, that I know of. Oh, well, I've spent enough on water wells to pay for unlimited municipal piped water for multiple lifetimes. 😂 P.S. I wish I trusted our local well drillers to do right by us, like I've come to trust you!

What are you thoughts about adding a cable to carry the weight of the pump?

We have a Grundfos 6 SQF 3 @ 530' powered by 1100 watts of solar panels/Honda 2200 generator. The company didn't put in the torque arrester either so thanks for explaining that. This system is at the shed currently cause the house isn't built yet. It gets cold here in Wyoming so the plan is to install the system in the house once built. You are wise beyond your years young man and an excellent teacher, keep on keep'in on!

Great video! I have two systems of my own for about 25 years. Relatively trouble free for all that time which I like to attribute to your adage “ use quality products and use them correctly “. Mainly I want to compliment you on your thorough progression of the process, exacting explanations of each step (and the reason for it!),and done with easy understandable terms. I was a mechanical service instructor for 20 years, so I can appreciate a well (no pun intended) seminar. I currently work part time at a hardware store that sells some water system equipment and parts. When DIYers start asking for tutorials about what to do, I send em to your sight. You explain it well (there I go again) and with great visuals. Again, great job and continued success!

Excellent video. My wife and I are building a homestead and we have an abandoned well on the property which is 120ft deep with 19ft head space (usually). All the little stuff you mention is the parts ive been trying to find out about. Its also nice to see someone else who uses the cutter as the one all be all tool.

This was very clear and great instructions. Yes I certainly am impressed. Thank you.

You just earned a subscriber.

Great video and very accurate explanation on what to do and what not to do. I did put a torque arrestor on my roll pipe but I used all stainless clamps and put it far enough from the pump that it shouldn't be an issue. The original installers didn't tape the wire properly and it broke one, solid core. I taped every couple of foot like you do. Gonna build me an upsidasey for next time though, she's 350 ft down 😆

Enjoy watching you work. Great explanations and detail.

Hands down best channel! Thanks !

Wow, such a fantastic attitude for a young man. I was just curious to see how long approximately a new submersible pump would last. We had one installed 4 years ago and it stopped working today. There are not to many people who would spend their time making a video like you have done here. Kudos to you and I hope that you receive many donations.

I don't think I need much well knowledge, but I enjoy your videos because you obviously are knowledgeable, but also enthusiastic about the job. I love the explanations and have learned a lot, even if I hope to never need it. 🙂 Keepup the good work.

Up-z-daisy (Google it).

I have a couple of concerns I think your viewers should be aware of. But first, you have made another excellent video. It's readily apparent by your explanations and choice of materials that you understand the why's and wherefore's of your trade and are not just doing things the way you do from repeating what good folk taught you or "book learnin'". I can call you a Master of your trade without qualms and I don't do that lightly or often. First is the hose clamps: The worm clamps in Big Box stores have degraded over the years. You rightly mention stainless steel but that's not enough IMO. Due to years of marketing wank folks now equate Stainless with stronger than average. There are many grades of stainless just as with regular carbon steel and can be just as weak as low grade steel. I wouldn't use SS clamps from Harbor Freight on a bet and even Ideal brand clamps from Home Depot aren't as they once were as EVERYONE is cutting costs and quality in some fashion. Any clamp, no matter the material, can be junk if its made too thin or poorly designed/made. To your credit, if someone follows your directions TO THE LETTER and heated the pipe over the barb then they should be OKAY. The pipe will be soft enough that even a weak clamp can form it into the barb grooves that, when cool, will provide most of the mechanical strength to keep your pipe and pump from letting go. If someone were to, for whatever reason, just brute force the pipe onto the barb and tighten their crappy clamp as far as it could before failure it still would not be enough - especially on a cold day. Clamps are cheap and very vital in this scenario and I urge folks to use the best they can. I'm not a fan of simple worm clamps anymore because there are just too many bad ones out there and most folks can't tell the difference. I recommend a hose clamp comparison video by Project Farm which feature the different brand and types available and does some testing on each one. Then you talk about wire and when you mentioned a friendly priced installation "kit" from Tractor Supply a red flag popped into my mind. Copper wire is NOT cheap lately and I am reminded of the extension cord and jumper cable fiascoes where cheaper copper coated ALUMINUM wire is used without informing the customer. They only mention/mislead folks with big print "4 AWG CABLE" without mentioning that aluminum wire has about 40% less capacity (amps, watts, etc) and more resistance to electrical flow than traditional copper wire of the same size. I don't know what's in the TS kit but I can imagine an ignorant but well meaning reseller tossing parts together without considering the details. Also, there are certain methods one must follow when connecting AL wire to copper wire and fittings made for copper wire due to a chemical reaction between the two metals that cause oxidation and corrosion. While copper coating the AL wire can help - the coating is often too thin and weak that it will just smear/abrade off when crimped, wire nutted, or used in a screw terminal. As for aluminum wire I can't really say... I've installed hundreds of miles of wire and cable but all of for dry conditions. I don't know if it's even an issue if used in well pump conditions. I only wish to make folks aware of a possibility. Have you come across the things I brought up or am I just an armchair alarmist? Anyway, I appreciate good tradesmen and good educators and you, Sir, have that well covered. (pun intended) 😜

Realistically plumbers can make 70k to 150k easily if they run there own business and have 1 or 2 employees. The need is there! So prices will go up when too few people know how to do it

Outstanding presentation! Much thanks!

Love your guidance. If ever in my lifetime i have to help myself or some else with installing seeing your lessons have made me a wiser man. I need to track your videos and learn the pitfalls and difficulties one can encounter of extracting existing systems and see what you have learn on overcoming them.

The Biden administration has done more for the economy and small businesses than trump and the Republicans ever did. You are entitled to your political views and I respect your right to have an opinion. I watch your videos because I learn a bunch and I like how you explain things, I don't watch to hear your political opinion.

Of COURSE you dont want to hear anything that might make you question the truth. Inflation has devastated this economy. A hamburger meal is twice what it was, beef and other staples are through the roof, and fuel is unaffordable! Every major democrat run city is problematic, full of violence, theft, and drugs, with people crapping on the streets. Theft is so bad in democratic strongholds that soon all major grocery stores and drugstores will leave these violence filled Democrat hellholes, leaving the poor and innocent nowhere to shop. You. Are. WRONG!

Biden has ruined the economy!

Great tutorial I don't see myself needing to install a pump but I always wondered the process not only informative but entertaining and humorous nice job👍

I've been watching your videos and am going to change out my well pump this spring thanks for making the videos it does really help

Thank you for the excellent tutorial!

Loved this one! I've done several PVC stick ones but never seen a continuous black roll pipe style like this. Thanks!

Love the content from people that know what they are doing. Thank you

Video could not have come up at such a better time just had well drilled. This will come in very helpful nice and detailed thanks

I love learning about something I know nothing about. You are a great teacher and if the need arose I would have enough confidence to attempt to analyze the problem. Thanks again.

About to install a well pump, so of course jumped on KZread to get info, thank you so much for a wonderful video, you explained everything so that even a retired old house painter like myself can do my own install. Thank you so so much for this video.

I'm doing geothermal wells drilling in Kenya. Your video is very informative bravo!

Very good video, I really appreciate your video without music,those who add music don’t let you apréciate the process. Thank you for the way you do explain it. Best video

Great video thanks. Appreciate the time you’ve taken to share your knowledge and help others which is very commendable.

Great presentation 👏👏👏

Thanks for the video and the channel. I’m still on city water and designed a 1700’ water system with a 1200 cistern holding tank. I can’t wait someday to get a well.

Great job, the better work you do in the beginning shows in the end when it last a long time between fixes. My deep well was done by one company and the pump and plumbing by another, but every time I've had issues it's the guy that dug the well that comes to the rescue, good pricing, right materials, and there when I need him. I've had to replace the bottom pump to black pipe fitting as well as the black pipe to pit-less adapter fitting both were Galvanized and almost cost me a pump, large hole in the fittings, replaced with brass. Have a great day

Thank you I enjoyed watching your pump installation which is slightly different the way I’ve seen it completed here in New Zealand! And the way that I have done it myself! Often used 2 inch wide insulation tape that has a lot stronger sticking power than ordinary electrical insulation tape! Cheers & thank you once again!

Love the length and detail of your videos, especially the educational ones. Thank you.

Thanks for introducing me to that rubber tape. I used it to stop my ceiling fan wires from ticking. It is Great insulator for electrical.

Love your vids. Ive learned so much from you and you are doing a great service.

This is excellent video. He makes it look simple and easy! Very educative. I like the flexible rubber pipe he uses, single handed.

Thank you for the info. I appreciate the skillset

The poly we generally use in plumbing is schedule 11.5. I work for a plumber learning the trade i appreciate your channel and i subbed. Thank you.

glad i found your channel. had my well pump go out a few years ago & was a pain in the ass to find any1 to replace it, when i did find some 1 i learned by watching your channel ,he screwed me bad, sold me on replacing the black roll to pvc, turned the bill which shld had been the pump & replace to changing everything & cost me over 2 grand

I've been watching for awhile. Thanks for passing on your knowledge!

Wow you’re amazing!! Having problems with my irrigation well and I totally understand how my well is operated now so when I get repair work done I’ll know and understand what the process it and what could be wrong. Thanks a bunch learned alot!

Thanks for the guidance. I'm just about to start my own install and this has been invaluable.

Thank you, helpful video. Comical also. Anyone notice the excavator operator get out in the background and relieve him self 😂

Loved this video. Iam considering installing a well and your video was informative and great instruction. Thanks

I love your in-depth instructional method! I’m looking forward to learning more from your channel- subscribed!

I have to put in a new pump for my well. I spent a good chunk of the morning trying to get somebody to come out to look at it. As you noted in the video they are becoming part of the construction trades dilemma. I decided to look at videos again and your video not only gave me specifics but also the confidence to do the task. I do have prior, limited experience in some of the construction trades but its a long time back and never changed a well pump. Thanks and we are like minded

You put out some really necessary information, Champ! Keep up the fine job you are doing!

Amazing video! You made perfect sense of every step of the way!! Keep up the good work!!

just a great video. I'm putting in a new well system and your instruction was excellent. Thank you!
