I personally think this a bad idea, water quality varies greatly and just be tested.

This might work at 1:100 ratios. In my extensive drilling experience, sometimes we need to chase that water 100 feet down or more. Not often can you find it so shallow, and if it is that shallow the next concern might be ground contamination. This video makes it seem very simple but please, don't underestimate the power of performing proper due diligence and researching these things, folks.

My well is 315ft deep. I am really glad that my well is deep like that as most out here are 60-100ft deep. A lot have a "surface well" (dont know the exact term). Im glad my well is 300ft+ deep because that water has to go through a lot of soil and rocks before getting into the "well reserve". My water is of great quality, only too much calcium so I have a water softener. I love my water. Water is life.

I mean you don’t really need to call. Just use common sense and educate yourself on the building codes, then you will know where everything is for the most part and can also slow dig until you get passed the building code specified depths where the lines should be. Even if you do call, you never know if the previous homeowners did a little “DIY” installment without city’s permission, so you’d be screwed either way.

We have a shallow well, about 60 ft that was dowsed. It was my great grandmothers house, but when my grandparents built their house next door they didn't hire a guy to come out use a dowsing rod. They plopped it down right next to their house. They had to have it drilled deeper twice and dynamited from what I heard. These Wells are maybe 200ft apart. Crazy the difference though.

I know the head of the charity personally. He's a really nice and humble man living here in California, and a pastor also. They've already dug 57 wells this year alone and each one is already creating unimaginable impact. I mean, disease outbreaks just stop completely in these villages that receive clean sources of water. It's beautiful.

One minute in and it’s already the best video on sand point wells. Thank you so very much!!

Boy oh boy, does this take me back to my childhood. My grandparent's cottage in central Wisconsin used sand point wells. Where he lived the screens on the points would get coated with a lime deposit that would harden like cement. Every second year we had to use a hydrologic jack to pull the well up. Then we took a wire brush to remove this cement like buildup. Unfortunately, the next year, the 3rd year, we would have to replace the point because the buildup could no longer be cleaned off the outside. My cousins, brothers and I would see who could knock the well down the farthest in 10-minute intervals. Many years later my grandfather learned if he used a point with a larger screen, he did not get this water blocking lime build up. We too used a short length of pipe with the drive cap on it to protect each section of pipe. My grandfather also made his own well driver that slid over the top of the pipe that we would lift then drop. This made the wells go down quickly and saved many sledgehammer handles!

There's something nice about the idea of having well water in your yard any time you want.

This is awesome! I live in FL so I probably don’t even need to go that deep. As a kid I dug a big ass hole with a friend for fun and we hit water.. probably only about 10-12ft down. (Yes. A couple of 12yos got bored and dug a giant hole. I loved the book Holes and was curious how hard it actually was to dig a hole a shovel length deep and wide. Once it got big we just kept digging! Lmao ) We planned to make a fort, but almost died instead. We were in the hole and it started raining, and the way we would get out was usually running up the wall and grabbing a steel bar at the top (we ran a steel bar across the middle of the top as a pulley and to rest cardboard for shade.) or boosting and then lifting. We had no ladder. So it started to rain, we couldn’t run up the wall, we were too slippery to grab and lift each other and the hole was rapidly caving in and filling with heavy mud. We did the most risky thing in my entire life and agreed to not leave each other behind and if one of us died, not to blame ourselves or each other. We knew it was a very bad idea. We had no choice. We started pulling the walls down, and jumping on top of the dirt, pull and crawl… pull and crawl… We had to time it properly or one of us would get knocked down and stuck. We essentially just caused it to cave in much faster so we could climb our way out. But it was essentially quicksand and we would use each other as a raft. I’d grab a portion of wall, pull it down and cause a cave in, mush it into a pile and lay on it, my friend would put his knee on my back, reach up behind us and pull it down, help me up, I’d be behind him now, he would pull the wall, lay on it, I’d step on him… etc. all while trying to “jump” to not sink. If you stopped hopping or “walking” for even a second, you’d start sinking. It basically looked like two drowning boys humping in a mud hole but we didn’t care. We knew it was life or death. My friend started to have an asthma attack and his inhaler was long gone.. by this point our shoes got sucked off and buried, his shorts were gone… it was a mess. We got the pole down, but we couldn’t make it span the gap again, so we leaned it diagonally… messing with the pole was making us sink.. I jammed it diagonally and he couldn’t breathe so he pushed me up the pole and I literally had to step on his face to push myself up. I got up top, grabbed the short shovel with the handle and pulled him out. I was naked except for a single sock, he had underwear and a tank top on and was barely breathing through his bloody nose (from my foot. My bad.) and it literally stopped raining almost immediately. We lay there on the ground for probably 20+ minutes while he caught his breath. I held his hand and and told him one of his favorite stories from my childhood in Jamaica and he finally calmed down. (Yeah.. a naked boy and a boy in his underwear laying in mud holding hands in the woods seems weird, but I’d do anything for my best friend. He was severely traumatized and turning blue. I had lung cancer and couldn’t run, and hurt my leg getting out. It was together or nothing for us.) We sat up, he gave me his shirt as a makeshift loin cloth, and we walked the 15mins or so back to civilization and to his house for a backup inhaler and showers. Damn I wish we had cellphones back then… sheesh. Not sure how a simple comment turned into a weird story of childhood trauma and bonding, but there. That’s my story. He’s still my best friend 15 years later. Even if we don’t talk for long periods we both know we would do anything for each other. Going through trauma, my cancer and a bunch of other stuff made us close. Sam is a good dude.

Me and my cousin dug a GIANT 6 foot deep hole at a condo complex, that my grandpa owned, over one summer. We were about 12 and 9 years old respectively, so a 6 foot hole was well above our heads. We covered it with plywood and leaves/branches to make a camouflaged underground fort that had a ladder leading to the surface. We ended up severing several cable TV lines and cracked a couple irrigation lines. The entire complex lost cable until they could run a new line. It cost like $5k to get everything back up and running. It was one of the biggest mistakes I made in my life.

Tip: put one pipe wrench on the lower pipe and one on the upper pipe, the coupling will tighten up in between trust me. Saves a second tighten process for each coupling.

this is going to be super useful for the water wars

Yeah and its a fucking nightmare to drive the pipe thru and it clogs the intake holes. What im doing is using half inch galvanized pipe with a T handle made out of pipe, a water spigot, washing machine hose to a water hose to dig and my 1x1/4 pvc pipe with second water hose thru it to keep the ground saturated so i can recover my drill pipe. I have a 4 inch whole saw sandwich between 2 half inch base plates. The holes line up for bolts and nuts. Currently im stuck at 24 feet spinning my wheels on my second shallow well. I hit some gunky shit down there and im trying to figure out wtf to do now. My 3 inch pvc casing pipe has a cap glued on with a hole in it. I fixed a threades coupling thru it with a rubber gasket so i can slam all 30 feet of pipe down once im done digging but i have no idea if it will work. Initial test with 10 feet was promising. If i cant solve the issue at 24 feet, ill get a pressure washer and hook it up to my drill pipe and see if i just need more water power to blow that gunk apart.

Where I live, in an arid desert in eastern WA, you have to get a permit from the county and the state department of ecology, which could cost you upwards of $2000 for the permit application, and then $180 per year if you're approved. No guarantee you'll get approved, because they are over allocated for senior water rights as it is already. As it is, you have to not already have access to irrigation water (I live in an irrigation district). You'd be limited to a maximum of 400 gallons per day for irrigating a maximum of 3000 square feet. Also, for domestic you, you'd have to get the well certified potable, and there are annual testing requirements for that. The reason I mention all of this is because a homeowner can get into a lot of trouble and fines for a non-permitted well. Water rights are a huge deal around here.

We found that using the heavy duty couplers AND renting a small, hand held gas engine pipe pounder used by fencing contractors did the trick. Yes, you will go thru a sacrificial coupler every 8-10 feet and the rental adds about $3 per foot to the total cost, but boy is it easier!

In my grandfather's village, they have this huge "room" with no roof and it's beside the well pipe and I think what it does is when it's monsoon season, it fills up the ground of the pipe with water. The "room" is probably dug as deep as the ground water level where the pipe is so that the water reaches the pipe more efficiently and the room can also be seen above ground so it stores more water and I feel as if the entire village can help themselves from it. Actually when monsoon season hits the entire village road looks like a big stream and everyone uses boats. Kids swim there and parents beat up their kids for doing that but it's fun.

We always used regular couplings, we just used one for driving and then take it off to add a good one for connecting. We also used a “pump baby”. A steel rod that goes in the pipe with a big weight on top and a long handle on each side. We would slide it in the pipe with the “beater” coupling on top and you and a partner pick it up and then let it drop. It drives it. All you have to do is keep picking it up.

Here in Florida we use these wells all the time for lawn sprinklers with what's called a "lawn pump", but not for drinking water. The 220v lawn pumps are good for about 30 feet of well. Mine is at 35 feet and has higher pressure than my city water. Some differences... We use the same system but with SCH 40 PVC. Everyone...and I mean everyone in our area uses PVC; even the professional well installers; and I've never heard of anyone cracking their PVC well pipe. I know of no neighbor that used metal pipes. You can also buy a large enough "post driver" everywhere here in the South at all home and hardware stores in many different weights and sizes, and if you don't want to buy, every rental equipment place has one for about $10 a day. I used both a sledge and a post driver on my well. Also, generally the first table of surface water you come to is not "good" water because it is full of minerals, including, sulfers, calciums, and iron; it will smell and more importantly stain your constructed surfaces of concrete, brick, and wood; especially the iron will make everything rust colored; but the grass will love the extra iron. So, to get out of that first layer of water, you need to look for a "hard pan" of compressed material that is almost like rock. It will slow your spike and almost stop it for about 1 to 2 feet. After you spend a very long time pounding through that hard pan, you'll hopefully hit sand again. Drive the well the length of your intake screen past the hard pan plus about 1 foot, to know you are completely through. Then you will be in clean water. I have this type of well for my 3 acres of lawn watering, and have helped 5 neighbors install their wells the same way. Only on one property did we need to move to a different location to find good water in about 30 feet. But check with local commercial well companies for an estimate. They will know were and if it is possible to get a shallow well on your property.

The way we drove then when I was a kid was with a piece of pipe about 6 inches in diameter and about 3 foot long. It has a cap on the end and two handles welded on it below the cap, making it look like the letter t. The cap was filled with lead and the whole thing weighed about 20 -30 lbs. you could either lift it up yourself or 2 people stood on either side and did it. The 6" pipe fit over the pipe you were driving and the long "skirt" kept the whole thing from glancing off like a hammer does. I can still remember the sound it made.

Manual post drivers / post rammers. The ones you can buy now have the handles running down parallel with the length of the tube, which is probably a better design for your hands and wrists and lets you choose where you want to hold it.

Thank you so much good tip, I always wanted an outside hand pump and definitely would try this method.

This is awesome. I want to install one for my house. Thank you sir!

This seems best for coastal plains. Not uncommon for wells around me to need 800 feet of pipe and multiple attempts to find water. Living on the Blue Ridge

Just as the well builders of old, all throughout the beginning of the Bible recorded, they had to build multiple sometimes to discover water. Being able to pump a well even with a hand pump, sounds vastly more useful than any bucket could ever be. This is a cool idea and something I just may look into for my own future home!

What a satisfying video. Great voice on this guy too

I am VERY glad he recommended getting the water tested. Not all ground water is drinkable, and some can be toxic. It's ALSO important to know your area well, for example, in one neighbourhood where I lived, there was originally an old electrical sub-station. The sub-station has been gone for almost 70 years, but the land currently cannot be built on as it is thick with PCBs. the land across the street, and down slope from the land cannot be built on either because the PCBs have leeched through the water table down slope. There are any number of commercial, and light industrial concerns both past and present that can have a very detrimental effect upon local ground water. Know the area, Know the history.

Another caveat: Call Before You Dig (dial 811) to verify where utilities have put pipes or cables. If you break a cable or pierce a pipe, the cost is on you.

I currently have no reason to install one of these, but now I want to.

Great ideas, great implementation, and above all riveting presentation. Keep on trucking!

The pump looks old and junky so I want to replace it but I cannot find much online about this sort of small scale well. It's either "Here's a manual well" or "Here's how you hire someone to dig you a well"

@wolfmantroy6601

Of course a pressure tank can be used. The important this is that your water table is high enough to be able to pump. These type of wells require an above ground jet pump. This type of pump can only lift about 25' so the water table has to be higher than that.

This is a very common sight in rural and semi urban areas of India. I will suggest that you a circle of one meter radius with a depth of one meter which should be filled with gravel of various sizes from large at the bottom to smaller on top. This will help in recharging the ground water from rain. My parents installed one 41 years back which went dry a decade ago till my brother made the water recharging trap. It's working still.

Great Project 👍. Looking in from Ireland 🇮🇪 👌

Well well well. You did this well well.

Tried this years ago. Cut a hole in the basement floor so I would be closer to the water table and wanted it indoors for easier access in winter. Pounded down only 7 feet and hit bedrock. Tried on and off for days to pound deeper, even pulled back up a foot and pounded Down again. Definitely bedrock, only limestone, but you still can’t drive a sand point through solid rock. Found a solution that works, a lift pump installed on an offset in the same hole with my electric well pump. I can hand pump the same water I normally drink when the power is out. Lift pumps can also pump deep water, my water table is 50 feet down. Which is why I tried the lift pump in the basement and as far from the cone of depression that a working well can create as it draws down the surface of the water table. Deeper water is also safer since it is more filtered by the greater depth. But deeper water is also harder with more minerals. Shallow water is softer and sweeter, but has a greater risk on surface contamination. Gave my lift pump to on of my brothers, has a garden and his water table is only 7 feet down. Off course he has to have two sump pumps for backup to keep his basement dry.

This kind of pump only allows about 20 feet deep, as it uses "suction" (actually atmospheric air pressure) to drive the water up the pipe. Technically, 30 feet would be the absolute maximum, but the pumps can't draw an actual vacuum.
