I am glad to hear you mention sealing around your well. Here in my State it's required to pour a minimum 2'Wx2'L concrete pad and at least 18" deep. We are also required to report its location and purposes to my States Dept of Health if could be possibly used as potable water. I know every state is different in those aspects. People say I don't want the government knowing, however if there is ever a reported problem with ground water they can and have sent out reports for those with wells the information. We can't easily test our water for everything. We can send it off for testing. But our state does free testing for well water users every couple of years if they submit the sample. Great video. I enjoy watching and learning.

If you are hitting rock, it's the limerock layer in Florida, which is bottom of surface water table! Good water but usually a lot of sulfur in water. It is also usually potable at that layer though. Keep that in mind with your filtration system to come. Should also be a reliable water source since all ground water is held here before slowly moving through rock to lower layer. If you drill past this layer you usually have to go down over 100 ft before you hit lower water table which is better water but can be high in iron. Good job!

That’s a great set up. One thing I would do is before your Dupont filter I would put an in-line mechanical sediment filter in there. They work pretty good especially with getting the sand and the big stuff out and they’re super easy to clean and there’s nothing to replace and even though you’ve got a ton of filters it would save them. I know a lot of people who do large scale water change systems for aquariums and places where they breed fish and have hundreds of aquariums and they save a ton of filters by using a sediment filter before it and it’s completely mechanical so you just take it off and rinse it out and put it back on and never have to replace any filters it’s right here just a mechanical screen system and get the big particles out before they clog up your replaceable filters. It’s also nice because they usually come with Alfredo around the clock a clear canister so you can see it as it fills up before I.

Welcome to the channel or well-come to the channel??? Great vid.

One of the best videos I've seen on this. Concise, clear, and to the point. Well done! I'm a newbie so apologies in advance for the dumb question but I have a deep well (250 ft) and it has the big tank and all but when I run it on the generator there doesn't seem to be a pressure valve limit that it stops pumping when hit. What functionality does that? Thanks!

@TKCL

Жыл бұрын

It's called a pressure switch. Once a certain pressure is reached it pressurizes a hose that releases electrical contact points to shut off the pump.

Hi Andrew, Great job. What will you do for freeze protection? Maybe close in the shelter, heat trace, insulation etc. ?

Hey Man, that was a great tutorial. Keep up the good work. Quick question, was there a reason you settled on a 1HP pump instead of the 1.6HP pumps on Amazon? Seems like a 1.6 would give you a better head depth and not have to work as hard. That might make the pump not pull as much amperage and wattage. That might, I’m really not sure about this, allow you to use a smaller generator. Let me know your thoughts. Keep it up my man. Love seeing Ruger looking all grown up out there too.

@TKCL

Жыл бұрын

Yes the reason was for being able to run on smaller solar equipment. I tried to first install a 3/4 hp pump, but it couldn't quite pull against the head. 1 hp works great and is easy enough to run on my portable power stations and generators.

With a little rework of the pipes you could have the hand pump after the electric pump and it primes the electric pump every time you use the hand pump

@TKCL

Жыл бұрын

Electric pump only needs to be primed once. Only if you ever remove it or drain it will it require priming again.

Do you know what size pump I would I need to have on my well that is about 200 feet beneath the ground? Also I have a well and pump currently on my property but I was wondering if I could have a hand pump added to the well like yours is done. Your video was awesome.

Simple Pumps are very well built! But man oh man, they are costly. It can cost more to buy and install a simple pump than a traditional deep well pump. I was quoted $3k for one. An option is to install the Simple Pump well cap or well seal when you have a deep well pump installed and add the pump later as finances allow. Take care and God Bless.
