It wasn't my intention to get credit for your video I merely wanted to thank you for the advice because it was helpful
Thanks for the much needed advice appreciate it very much
Archie Burson credit goes to a viewer across the pond who asked for this information. Glad you found it helpful.
Great job of outlining exactly what is needed to do a simple shallow water well. You do a good job of reducing to the essence so a generally handy Joe Blow can connect all the dots. Thank you for your efforts.
Thanks
Subscribed! You're a gem mate!! All the way from Queensland Australia
I appreciate it.
I tend to plan things to death so this diagram is for me. Very informative. Thanks. I am enjoying your videos. ~Sherrie in South Carolina
Thanks so much. I was putting together a list of everything I needed and came across this while scrolling thru your videos. Very helpful 👍
Abram Roberts glad you found it useful.
Hi TCF I was the newbie 3 years ago who asked for this video and list !!! Well my well is still working very well BUT I often pump it dry with the hand pump but it’s still great for veggie watering I’d wish I could source a tiny very slow drip solar pump to fill the big tank slowly whilst the suns shines then I could just dump can in and then water away maybe a challenge for this very smart man? Thanks for you advice three years ago Chris
Glad it helped. Some wells only have so much water to offer.Perhaps collecting the water in a storage tank and then using a soaker hose could help.
thankyou for your idea sir..now i know how to build a shallow well ,i also watch some of the latest videos about the well and i scroll this part and im here knowing about everything of the shallow well sorry for my english sir im not a native english speaker hehehe...
KaReviewTV thanks for stopping by and glad you found it useful.

Chris
Thanks Chris. If it wasn't for your question I would have never done this. Thanks for getting it started.
Simply brilliant advice thank you Chris
Thank you for all of the instructions!
THANKS FOR SENDING THIS TO ME, BUT MY SYSTEM IS DIFFERENT. I MISTAKENLY THOUGHT IN MY EMAIL BACK TO YOU WAS THE ONE WHERE YOU PUT IT IN. TAKE CARE. AND THANKS AGAIN FOR YOU VALUABLE TIME.
Thank you been power watching and this helped a lot in my understanding I printed out everything I need can’t wait to get started so I can finally have water for my garden and animals plus get water set up on my other property
Just subscribed. You have great content with great info. Can't wait for more videos! Keep up the awesome job!
Thank you for that detailed Design.. I have a shallow well (Electric pump) in my back yard put in long before I bought the place in 2012 with a 38' x 18' pool in back. Last year I was adding water and left it for awhile and the Motor burned up because the 13-15' well went dry..(I thought so anyways). also..the casing pipe had no top seal and the pump would often lose prime.
I couldn't find a 3" Well cap so I tried diff methods after replacing the Pump and making sure the well had water again. No Luck... Pump loses prime.
Replacing the casing with a 4" casing and starting over. I was unsure about how much Pea Gravel to put in or whether to use a Plug on the casing bottom (Yes..in my case) Wish me Luck! Thanks for what you do...
Sounds like you have a plan. Capping the casing pipe helps it stay cleaner. Good luck.
Thanks so much 🙂
Thank you.
Good info,thanks
Tthank you that was very good
Thanks, very interesting informations. May I ask, do you think that water with this shallow well could be suitable to drink?
Always assume it is unsafe to drink unless it has been tested otherwise.
Not sure of you would know or could point me in the right direction but i have an old 100ft well that generally has water 10ft below surface... But no pump or electric on property could a pitcher pump be utilized? I'll probably be looking at a small dc pump to utilize solar at some point but just wanting for small livestock ect. Thank you awesome vids!!!
Christopher Cain you can pump water up 25 ft with a pitcher pump. You could put a 25 ft pipe with a foot valve on a pitcher pump and you’d be in business.
@@TigerCreekFarm wow wasn't sure I'd get a response but that was fast!!! Thank you brother!
Christopher Cain no problem. Caught me just as I was about to eat dinner. Good luck.
Is there possibility of not having pvc as material and have another type of material ?
Absolutely. At one point metal was your only option. PVC is the cheap alternative.
@@TigerCreekFarm Thank you!
