These guys are great. Had a well crisis; they were on time, professional and reasonable in price. Totally recommend Hidden Valley Well ❤️
How you like having a well vs being connected to city water?
@@bunnyman6321 water well can be super clean water and a great source. But when things go wrong it can be very costly. I had to have a new one drilled on my property and it's been a 40k+ adventure. At this point being hooked up to city water would be nice
@@holdenperkes5231 Damn.
Is there any insurance that'll help with the 40k?
@@bunnyman6321 not unless you can prove that it falls under the guidelines of the insurance plan, what's even harder is it's extremely hard to get a loan for that amount and there is no government funding or anything that is geared towards financials for wells. Most wells are drilled on new construction loans or by farmers with deep pockets
@Holden Perkes Damnit Man.
May you much success in your endeavors
Another great video! Thanks for showing the whole process from start to finish! God bless brother!
Great stuff. Love well pumps! So glad I'm installing submersible
Thank you for the great videos, I learn a lot,you all are awesome !
bravo,i did borehole mechanics,sitting,drilling,equipment n maintenance since 2014 but no job,help.
You answered my question asked by someone else. Thanks! Great video!
Your videos are awesome I have learned a lot about wells and I now have property where that's my only water option My well is 220 ft deep 5 in casing all the way to the bottom producing 30 gallons a minute water is at 50 ft below the ground and I am setting my own pump system from watching your videos
An issue with our well system brought me to your video channel. I have learned more information about wells, pumps, pressure components and electrical then I thought my brain could hold in a 3 day time span. Slowly but surely we are getting the issues all ironed out thanks to you! My question is have you ever encountered a service call where there was no visible well head anywhere on the property? That is the issue we are having. We do have a concrete lid that when lifted there is another lid inside and then all that can be seen is water. It is about 2 feet wide in diameter. Nothing protrudes up from the hole so it doesn't look like anything I have seen in your videos. Other than that, there is nothing else and it is about 150 feet from where I found where the water supply pipe enters the house. On the other side of the wall where the pipe comes in there is a well control box which shows an install date of 1974 on it. Next to that is an old fuse panel with the power cut off lever that still works and wiring fed into the newer control box and then out to a newer breaker box. The Well pressure tank is inside in our boiler room. The house was built in 1955. It belonged to a wealthy local guy who spared no expense when he built it and he hid everything. he built concrete tunnels under the house for the water lines. All utilities are buried/hidden. It was an estate purchase for us so unfortunately we just don't have much info and unraveling the secrets to this house has been a journey. Anyway, so sorry for the long winded story but I'd like to know the best way go about figuring out where our well is actually located. Thanks so much for all you do! you've been an invaluable help to us in Ohio!
I hope your dad isn't to hard on you, i hope he knows what a gift you are to him, that work ethic is hard to find
Good thing it will never freeze here and never rain which could leak into that nonweatherproof box. Most in USA will require a much different installation.
you the electrician also......that is impressive
Great work! Glad I found your channel.
Couple things I would have done differently….
First I would have used a weatherproof junction box
Second I would have used 45s instead of 90s to keep the flow and pressure at its max…
Every 90 creates both a pressure and volume restriction…
Thanks a lot
I've never new such a thing as sharing a water supply (well)with a neighbor that's unheard-of over here of course that is if it's city water that's another deal.
Thank you.
Just what I wanted to see. Does the well thingy in the front yard stay uncovered like that, or is it usually covered with something?? Thanks for filming and sharing.
What size PVC to I use to run water from the pump to the house? 1" ? Is there an issue with using 1" vs 1.5" vs 2" ?
I gotta ask. Why poly over pvc? I get it’s cheaper but if that gets hung up you have a better chance at the poly snapping and have to fish the rest of it. You can’t even use a smeal to pull it. Just wondering no hate.
What was that creature that started to crawl out from behind the panel and went back in when you started to drill for the electrical wire?
Dear H2O Mechanic; I greatly appreciate your instructive and well documented videos. I also appreciate your professionalism. I have been doing lots of TH-cam research because I may be purchasing a retirement home in Virginia and likely would be on well water and septic (both of which I have not had to deal with. I was wondering what your thoughts are on flat-roll pipe to use as your water well piping to the surface well head ? This flat-roll piping is supposed to be stronger than black poly pipe (but might not be as available? I would appreciate your thoughts. Many thanks !
I've seen it, only plumbers have had good results in testing it. But I personally wouldn't use it. I even had the company reach out to me and I didn't want to advertise for them. It's different. But I have nothing negative to say about it. It's all personal choice
Your my man
The BEST!!! Ty
Wow,
Great video
Thanks Philip! Enjoyed much!
Should use weather proof box
anyone else see the lizard @13:13 ?
Great videos and works and big thank you. What's the purpose of using schedule 80 fittings on schedule 40 pipes?
Your electrical box above the pump is rated for indoors? Are you placing a cover above the pump to keep water out?
What determines the pressure setting of water off and on 20-40 PSI 30-50 on a well system ?? Thanks.
I've been watching your videos to try and solve my well problem.
I just purchased a 100 year old house with limited information about the property. There is an old (probably hand dug) well in the back yard with a well pump in it and pump handle at the top. It is not connected to the house. The water level is 15 feet below ground and the well pump is 50 feet below ground, but I don't know how deep the well goes. The pump is a 2 wire, half HP Franklin Electric, continuous pump.
When I plug the well pump to my 120v outlet and I open the pump handle, I get a burst of dirty water followed by a strong flow of clean water for about 20 seconds and then the pump automatically turns off ending with dirty water. There is about 2 minutes of rest and then the pump cuts back on with the same 20 second, dirty-clean-dirty pattern.
I can tell that it was not a very professional install but all the basics are there. I would like to be able to use this well for a hybrid geothermal system, which requires about 2 GPM.
What do you think is wrong and what do you recommend?
Pump motor bearings are shot. Replace the pump. It's over heating, cooling down & runs again til it gets hot again
Jus bought a house how do I find out how deep mine is ???
I've just changed the well pump with a stronger one because the previous one didn't had enough power, once installed and switched on, the pump is shaking like hell and when I opened a valve at the top of the pump to let water out after a few seconds it stopped shaking but, the moment I would close that valve the pump would start shaking again, any idea what am I missing that's causing this? Thank you and appreciate the input
About how far should you have your well house and pressure tank from your primary residence? My parents well house is about 350' from the main house currently.
Will one of those pump covers protect the water from freezing?
You don't put a cover on the well head?
Thanks for sharing! You mentioned you used schedule 80 fittings, did you use schedule 80 for the whole run too? And why schedule 80 vs 40?
He used sch 40 pipe. Not sure why he upped the 90's to sch 80.
I noticed you didn't install a checkvalve on the water line between the week and the tank. Wouldn't you want a check valve?
I was going to ask the same thing the other videos are watched had it
Why don't you put double cover #wire in #well??
I have envoy so muche go
Were can you get the well seal
What brand of the pump as well as pressure tank did you guys use? Model numbers would help if you know them by chance. Also I have white plastic pipe in my cabin here in West Virginia that I installed back in the late 1980's that currently uses a gravity fed spring to it so I know that I want to use the least amount of PSI as not to burst the plastic pipe inside the walls. My drilled well hit 15 gallons a minute when drilled at 70 feet back in 2019 and is 80 feet deep. I was told to set the pump at 10 feet above from the bottom of the deep well is that correct? I am a retired IBEW electrician who bought this cabin back in 1987 in the mountains of Pocahontas county West Virginia. It gets cold here in the winter time because I am at 3600 feet above sea level I have been told to trench down to 3 feet so not to have the water line freeze when the temps have hit to 20 below at night on occasion.. Thanks for any help you can give me.
Any pump that's uses a Franklin electric motor is good (Goulds, j-class, triseal ect) as for the tank, Well X-trol 20 gal is great quality. Some of my most popular Videos have links to Quality products I'd recommend. 3ft trench is perfect. 2ft is acceptable as well.
I used sch40 pvc in the trench and black 200psi poly in the well. 10ft off the bottom of the well is fine for such a shallow well.
Lots of helpful tips throughout my videos. (Well Pump Q&A Playlist)
How you make out?
@@bunnyman6321 I have not run a line for the deep well yet. I will do it in the late spring this year. I am clearing land now! But thank you for asking.
@@tommyfuller103z Keep me updated!
May you have much success
How come you don't use primer on your joints???
Glue is 2in1. It's not necessary unless it's cold, I do use primer on bigger pipe and older pipe. But new pvc is still soft enough to melt just using blue glue.
Again, nothing on shocking the well. Please explain. Thanks
Was there a water heater on the 1st floor?
why not rigid line vs that flex poly?
What wire gage can I use on an hp2 230 volts water pump and also what dobble braker size?
6awg wire 50amp double breaker
@@h2omechanicmy well 47' to bottom, 37 to water can I use jet pump or need submersible pump?
Yeah I have a question how much would it cost to install a pump all set up with pressure tank The world is clean hundred feet deep producing 5 gallons per minute what’s the usual price for these kind of jobs
A complete system install is 1800-2200. Add another 800 if there's trenching to be done
Why do you like pvc over poly or pex for the underground run?
Pvc has a 2-3 X strength, less likely for rocks to push on pipe & split it.
Poly & pex are too plyable for trenches.
If done it both ways. Pvc lasts way longer from my experience & way tougher.
200psi poly does the trick
Was that a gecko I see peeking out from behind the breaker box after you begin drilling a hole in the brick for a power line?
i saw that lizard when i watched the video as well. 13:13 footage into the video.
I've never noticed that til now 😆
What size wire is that
What's the life span of the pump on average?
1900 box outside?
Absolutely, it will never hold water because it drains so well... 😉🤣
I'm curious why you don't use unions at the well head? I'm sure there is a reason haha
No need for one. Normally it's good for 15 years. I use unions on jobs I frequently visit. But residential jobs, a tiny leaky union isn't worth the gas & lost time. I've drove 100 miles round trip bc of a drippy union. Not doing that anymore.
Commercial systems get a union though
@@h2omechanic I see, makes sense! Thanks and love your videos!!
Guess they don't go by NEC code e where you are from.wouldn't pass
It is code to not put cables in. Conduit. No romex or anything
Pump name?
Your videos are interesting to watch but you audio is at best not so good. Fades in and out a lot! Need to get better mics, maybe bluetooth mics.
RODE 'Wireless Me' mic/transmitters are the cleanest way to go. I use these and the 'RODE Wireless Go II.' TH-cam reviews and discussions of the differences and similarities of the two units by DSLR Video Shooter: th-cam.com/video/erG4AoQYFc8/w-d-xo.html
