Here is some additional information from a groundwater professor: Groundwater (well water) temperature is the average atmospheric temperature. It doesn't matter where the water comes from, groundwater moves super slow. It moves about 1-100 feet per year. The water levels within the pump pipe will only drain down to the static groundwater levels. It doesn't go down to the bottom of the pump piping. Also, are you planning to place concrete around your well head? It is a good idea to put an impervious surface around the well to make sure you eliminate groundwater contamination. Imagine some type of surface spill (like oil, fecal matter, or urine) running down the side of the well and entering the aquifer. Could be a major source of contamination. Let me know if you have any groundwater questions.

I really have enjoyed the series on your well. My granddad Robb was in the irrigation pump manufacturing and well drilling business in the Texas Panhandle all my life. I spent my summers building submersible and turbine pumps and drilling wells for irrigation so this whole thing brought back a lot of memories and it was interesting to see a small residential well go in. You’re a little submersible pump fascinated me, I wish I could’ve had a better look I’ve never seen one that small with such short stages. Some of my fondest memories as a child are my granddad climbing the sand pipe with a coffee mug from the truck to get us a cool drink of water straight from the well. To this day I’ve never had water that tasted so good, when you talked about how delicious your well water was it made my mouth water and almost brought a small tear to My eye I wish I would’ve known this was coming I probably could have got a pump sponsored for you. It would’ve been such a thrill to see a Robbco pump in your well. In my opinion this has been one of the best video series you have ever done. Thanks for the hard work I enjoyed it

Percolator well pump system. Lower a large garden hose with a ¼" air hose taped to it. At the bottom end you have a copper "J" tube that is fitted into the air hose and clamped. The other end is "J-ed" into the open end of the larger diameter of the garden hose. The upper end of the garden hose is upright and position so as to allow the output of water to fall into a collection tub and any air to escape. An 12 vdc air pump is attached to supply air. The air BUBBLE rises under a bit of water as the end of the hoses is below the water level of the well. The water rides the bubble up and out into the tub. JUST LIKE A COFFEE POT PERCULATOR ALLOW WATER TORISE ON A STEAM BUBBLE.

Exactly what I was thinking Gary. Once this check valve is installed, not only could the discharge line and everything after the check valve freeze in cold weather, but the pump itself would no longer drain back to it's 4 foot below ground level, as there would be no area that air could enter the system, unlike when it's left as an open discharge. The only other problem I see with this system is that unless there is a screen or aerator on the outlet, insects seeking a warm, moist living environment tend to try and crawl inside piping like this. Then they die, causing a bacterial problem in the well potentially. That is why most modern wells that are drilled are required to have a well cap that keeps, insects, vermin, and other surface contaminants like rain or surface water out.

@@kentlange5338 did you watch the video of the pipe being installed into the well pipe ? The seep hole on the draw pipe is surrounded by air when it is in the well pipe , so it is not air tight and can drain .How can insects and vermin etc get past the check valve ?
@kentlange5338
4 жыл бұрын
@@PaulA-il7ms if the pump is used without a check valve, as designed, it would offer an entry point for insects, because it's open to atmosphere. Unless, as I said earlier, there was a screen or aerator. Now, when a check valve is installed, it wouldn't allow air into the discharge pipe upstream of the weep hole, causing a vacuum on the pipe. Think of it this way. Put a straw in a glass of water, put your thumb over the top of the straw, making a water tight seal, (like a check valve). Pull the straw out of the glass, what happens? Does the water spill out from the bottom of the straw, even though it is surrounded by, and open to atmosphere? Nope. It stays in the straw, as long as your finger or thumb remains on the straw. This is why I believe, with a check valve left upstream of the weep hole, it will defeat it's purpose, potentially causing a freeze hazard. Hope this helps.

Hi Cody. Thanks so much for your videos. They've got me thinking a lot more about prepping/homesteading to the point where I've already made some changes in my life to become more self-sufficient. Still, it's very difficult living in a more urban area, renting from a landlord. But every little change I make helps somewhat towards the end goal. EDIT: One example... With all the Corona hysteria going on, I realised I didn't need to panic buy anything. I literally have 95% of what I need right here because I focused on stocking up on long-term storage items while everyone else was worrying about buying the latest gadgets. It feels good to be prepared for any eventuality, knowing I can get through it AND help my family at the same time with spare food, water, heating supplies, medical things, homemade high purity alcohol for disinfection, etc.

Not all well systems include the large bladder tank as described here. That system typically operates with a pressure switch that energizes the pump which operates at full power or off. It is true that the large tank helps by allowing the motor to turn on less often thereby making the motor last longer. An alternative is a pump motor that has the ability to start slowly and the accelerate based on the amount of water required. This approach typically involves a much smaller pressure tank. My current tank is not much bigger than a basketball. The system with the small tank would not benefit much by the pump’s ability to “pressurize” the system. Good video. Thanks.

If the out put of the pump is not going to a system by way of a hose, then a check valve would not be needed. The check valve is there to keep water from being sucked back into the well and pump mechanism possibly contaminating the well. As a note to using a hose to hook up to the house or other system, make sure the hose is clean and sterilized to keep from introducing contaminants to the system.

i have a honda generator. not worried at all about that not working when needed. And yes, i store 40 gallons of gas at all times. If that runs out, than everyone has bigger problems. Rotate the gas every 1 to 2 years. Yes. I said two years. I use Star-tron in the gas and i proved the gas will still power equipment up to 2 years in storage.

my grandkids and parents moved here to Oregon a long while back, from Florida. My grandson was 15 and he opened up the tap ,took a long drink of water and then opened the cabinet door under the sink and took a look around. Wondered what he was looking for so asked and he said ,wide eyed, " how do you get the water so cold and good, grandma?! ". Florida water is warm, nasty, and been thru the human body two or three times when it comes out of your tap!!! No, just no thanks! Our well water is precious.

I've had a simple pump for several years with no issues. Runs about 182' ish. My only tiny complaint would be that I was not advised that there is an optional longer pump handle....which yours looks to be. To change out the handle is quite pricey so get it right the first time.

I am blessed with an artisan well. There is a constant 7 psi without the pump. You will probably use the pump more than you realize, growing up on a farm, we had an outside pump and during the summer we would drink the cold water from it all the time.

The bladder tank works with air pressure you pump air pressure into the tank, the air pressure compress the bladder and the pressure pushes the water out, when the pressure is low then the pump turns on

Cody, have you had the water tested at a local lab for purity, minerals, chemicals, and contaminants? As we all know, these things do get in our ground water, and it should be one of the first things you test for. Most can be filtered out, but you first must know if a filter is required. My well is extremely clean, so much so that after over 35 years, I have not had to replace any fixtures in my kitchen or bathrooms. No iron staining, no calcium buildup, and the water is perfect. Still, every few years I take a sample and pay a few dollars to get it tested, because one never knows if a containment has been somehow introduced. I would love to see you do an episode on getting your water tested, and why. Many people who live in cities have no idea this is a regular concern. Cheers from Winnipeg (actually about 30 mile northeast of Winnipeg)

My parents have a deep well....close to 200 feet. They can run their well pump off their generator- would only take a minute or two of run time to charge their system.

I'd prefer a rotory pump with handle. Like the ones for 55 gal. drums. Easier to attach a motor on it like a cordless drill, or pulley arrangement. Wonder if they make those?.

Something to think about. Maybe along the prepping idea is after an Earth quake don't run the well because the water is muddy and can't cause allot of damage to the pump, must wait maybe a week for the underground water to clear. Great video!! Thanks Len

Bison pumps also can pressurize the pressure tank. It may have been added over the last year or so.

A generator would be sucking the hind … trying to run a 1 horse well pump you'd need a 5500w generator even then it would bog down when the well kicks in. Most new well pumps are electronically controlled for soft start I don't know what a generator sending dirty power to it would do to the well pump. The simple pump is the only option to draft water from your well when the power is out. I used to be around industrial electricians and plumbers I learned a lot from them.

Thanks for introducing me to these pumps. I hope to get something like this when I eventually get my own property/house some day. I bet it provides a lot of peace-of-mind.
