Talking the customer OUT OF something they were dead set on doing because it's not really needed - that's integrity. Something that's lacking far too much these days.

I was taught to help a situation & make it better by fixing the issue. It's not about making a killing off 1 person. So many in the comments say I do good work but I'm bad at business bc I undercharge people....that show me that those people lack integrity! I have a skill, I make a living & can support my family, that's enough for me to be happy.

Many new clients and customers will seek your service knowing you're honest and there to help them and not trying to get rich overcharging or selling equipment when not needed. Hats off to you sir for being a decent human being.

I follow hundreds of youtubers and I would put you at the top of the ones I would TRUST.

Damn straight to the records, no body else does that. Stay true to that

Good job.

I really like rusco spin down filters and I have used them on all of my homes with or without wells. The the spin down filters have a valve flushing so you don't even have to turn the water off to flush the filter. You can get an auto flush valve and pipe the flush out to a drain or outside. They have a variety of different filter screen types and sizes.

Good Job, we drilling well since 1947 in Province of Quebec(Canada),Nordic drill,Groupe Puitbec,

Glad to see someone else install filters high enough you can get to it.

Just watching your video and emailing you and one comment helped me fix my problems from another video, Great content and enjoy watching your adventures!

I love that yall keep an awesome set of records but I worry about an accident/disaster taking them out. Ever thought about scanning them into a file and putting that file on the cloud for just incase?

Man, i was just a baby when that well was drilled.

Thanks. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Do wells generally make less water (decrease in yield) over time?

Thanks for sharing.

Its good you are help the older ones out ...................take care...........................

Yo bro what was the gallons per minute after the frack?

It’s just amazing!!! Question tho Have ever ran with the transmission in fourth gear??

You should get pops to talking! Thanks for another good one! I'm curious as to what happens if you hit 4th gear?

@h2omechanic

4th gear basically spins the pump too fast, slows the engine down & will overheat it. I worry it might break a connecting rod.

Awesome videos! Really like your content and information you explain while doing the work. I'm positive I've seen your trucks on the road a couple times when going to / from Boydton Virginia. How far do you typically travel to drill wells?

The house I just bought has that old half inch CPVC pipe! I'm going to replace all of that with PEX! 😁

What was the gpm after fracking?

When I fracked well in the seventies flow was in barrels per min. At up to 5,000 + psi with wells more than 8,500’. Of course this was oil wells!

tried to warn H2O about the tests but am heavily censored here...Yah bless the good...doug

I have been following your for a bit when I stumbled on one of your fracking videos. Lake Valley out of Tarboro, NC does all my well work. I have a 400 footer that gives me about 1.5 gallons a minute. After 30+ years we have learned to adapt to the limited volume available after drawing the well down too low a couple of times. If it gets any worse, I think we are in your service area so you may get a call.

pontiac 2.5 ironduke!

Hydro-fracking is running about 5k in my neck of the woods. A friend has a low production well (like 50 gallons a day in the summer) and I keep telling him to blow the well out with fresh water to unplug the deepest production zone. Its got heavy iron and sediments and I'm pretty sure just injecting 1500 gallons of water down at the bottom of the hole would blow that sediment and rust out the top of the casing. Do it during winter though so the upper production zones don't get clogged with that sediment.

@h2omechanic

The cost of Fracking is definitely worth it, especially with such a high success rate. What your talking about is like air lifting/ jetting a well, that's fine for screen type casing wells, but a rock well needs a packer to seal off & build high pressure or take high volume. We charge 3k here

How often do you have to repack those fluid ends? It’s was really interesting seeing the same process from the drinking water side

Great video, is your Frac Pump one of the Dowell pump units? We had a couple of Dowell cement units on a Oil Drilling Rig with two V12 Detroit Diesels over here in the U.K.

1990-2000 pumps last 20+ years, pumps that are newer get 10-15 years. Personally I believe it's all due to the bearings used in the motor are cheaper. Nothing is built Like it once was

Was a permit job so it had to go to a 2 wire with ground. The next similar job I pulled a TRW REDA pump from the '70s (one of the ones with PCB bearing oils in the capacitors a fiber can, and a brass head) still pushing water and drawing bang on the nameplate amps. This was last year 😂

Hope you get to feeling better soon! I always like the fracking videos, it is a fascinating process. Just curious if you have a way of testing the rates before and after right away, or is it usually necessary to wait a few days (weeks?) before testing the after to see the results. (Perhaps rigging a flow meter and regular pump to the same lines on the packer you use to inject with, where you actually pump water out after the fracking?)

"Owner thinks it makes 4GPM but records from 40 years ago said it only makes 1GPM." Is it well known, heh, that once a well has a known GPM it will never change?

Het is geweldig om te zien dat er goed advies gegeven wordt dat kom je tegenwoordig niet zo veel tegen bedankt daar voor. Groetjes uit Holland 👋🏼👍

Do you use anything to stop the torque on the pump/line?

Ol MacDonald had a pump.. no flow-ee-oh-ee-oh??

Curious... what do Home Loan companies typically require for water supply for a loan? Back in 1993, our bank required 2.5 gal/min w/o a holding tank and 1.5 gal/min with a holding tank.

Granted 50 gpm is a great number until you come to the oilfield and realize that on a average frac they are doing something in the ballpark of 8500 gpm at around 8-10000 psi at around 10,000 foot down lol but it’s still cool nonetheless.

Did you end up removing the torque arrestor or did you leave it on?

How do you feel about a sand trap tank. My dad always wanted to build one for our well. He never got around to it, we have filters now, but they dont seem to catch the fine silt. We dont really get a lot but it builds up over the years and clogs my washer screens.

Is it possible to be experiencing the same thing? Previous owner said no water issues but we got 3 opinions and they said it’s running dry. Someone stayed in the house for over a month, doing laundry and all and the psi didn’t go lower than 50. Before it had gone as low as 10 psi when we were going only once a month. Could the consistent use have cleared it up or that’s not how that works? Wondering if we should pay to have someone take a look at it again but I don’t want to speak $250 just so they can say yes or no. Any advice or suggestion would help. Thank you!
