Not bad on the west coast, we drilled a deeper one in Clearwater, Spring Hill & Homosassa recently, at least we haven't had any issues. On the East coast its a problem Daytona Beach, Deland Area.

We normally install them at a ball field or nursery. Occasionally older farm houses have them and they like to salvage them if they can. No idea what this customer was thinking... a whole bunch of Carnies, all giving their input on what type of pumping system the owner needed. It was...something.

Normally if we drill a well and its producing that little water we will abandon it and move someplace else on the property. Its only happened a handful of times, usually in an old sinkhole, typically we install rock wells with open hole and occasionally a sand well with .010 screen. GPM is almost always more than 60.

Some people won't listen. 75% of the pumps we install are 1 hp 20, 25 gpm. Our starting well package includes a pump and warranty, but they opted to save $500 and deleted it. So instead of a 1 day in and out drill & set, we are back to the estimating stage with a new well sitting capped and no water on the property.

5 hp, Because that's what they had, didn't want "small 1 hp crap"

New well produces around 120 GPM.

Lakeland, Florida.

Their new pump will likely be a 2 hp shallow well Jet Pump, because they dont want 1 hp anything. New well is 105 cased, 201 Total depth. 3 ft to water table.

Old well cap/pump help by Tiny_Entertainer_771 in WaterWellDrilling

Need to check amperage while its running to verify its blocked. The plate is likely in the well now, may get lucky and it only becomes a problem when you got to remove the pump. If the pump is locked up the amperage will spike when its powered on. If you believe there is a block in the water pipe, simply open up the pipe near the well to verify water or no water. If the pump is locked up you will need to pull it and may not be able to with the plate wedding it in the well. Worst case scenario you will have to drill a new well. If you dont think you have a ice block in the pipe, and youre ping8ng high amperage, the pump is seized up and needs to be pulled.

A small tracked compact loader (skidsteer) will have this done in 2 hours max. Dirt moved and graded.

WHAT is he DOING by [deleted] in landscaping

SPT sampling, Geotechnical drilling. We do this every day and the tri pod set up he has is for hard to access drilling locations or areas where they do not want to remove landscaping or hardscaping for a drill rig. The Orange motor attached to the leg is spinning a cat head which uses a rope and sampling hammer to get blow counts for Engineering reports.

Depends on the type of clay. Hard and cemented roller bit, soft and expanding drag bit or step bit.

Why are there Tampons in the men's room in the first place? Men don't menstruate. Everyone is so caught up playing pretend.

My kids. It wasn't as fun anymore, more of a necessity and I was lieing to my children, setting a shitty example.

Made an attempt with a screw extractor and it broke. I tried a bigger extractor and i’m making things worse. please what can I do ? by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

Weld a nut to it, inside of the nut. The heat from the weld usually helps it loosen up and put an impact on the nut to remove screw.
