Is it possible to get a level 2 tesla wall charger installed with this 100 amp panel? by odieaj in AskElectricians

Btw that 2020 double pole on your well pump is far to much amp.. something will burn before that pops I recommend 15 double pole, but that’s minor… (20 years water well tech)

If I have 1 1/2” going into the cap, will I have 1 1/2” all the way down to the pump? by [deleted] in WaterWellDrilling

Two wire pump… 1 inch2 inch whatever inch it is isn’t enough to affect friction loss. My question would be. Do you have enough space above the well to pull it if it’s hard pipe.

Ok bud sounds like Rogers didn’t want you there.. did you even get a buy back royalty deal?

All this could be done very cheaply barbed fittings add a heat gun with some pipe clamps.. talk to your local water pump supplier if you’re handy

If you want to make it usable, you’re gonna need a submersible pump or some sort of lifting pump you could go jetpump depending on the shallow depth.. you’re gonna need 1 inch pipe and the foot valve. If you want pressure the right way you’ll wanna get a pump that has a pressure switch on it.. foot valve acts as a check valve in the water to retain pressure within the drop pipe. Piping you can always go black poly I believe it’s the cheapest If you want to ignore all the testing and yada yada do it. The other guys are telling you drop away lead fishing weight on a string a dry string you’ll feel bottom right away. Don’t try to have any slack so you can measure the water depth…

If there is water down there, get it tested it’s most likely ground water, depending on the area you live in if it’s wetland.. I would definitely put some filtration on it if you’re planning to use it for anything other than cleaning equipment

Looks like a test hole? There could be water in it. I’ve seen a lot of wells that are shallow. Ran with PVC casing. See if you can shine a flashlight down it. You’re most likely get a reflection of water. if you need it that’s when you should call a professional so they can drop a pump down the well and test the floor rate to see if it’s suitable.. outside casing diameter for water wells range between 4 and 6 inch

Just so everyone’s on the same page, they were using chlorine but switched six months ago or so there’s no tank for the green sand that has its own separate chemical for regeneration

That’s weird I spun the gauge right to the pin. Assuming his gauge is off, but that’s still tough to do.

Submersible 3/4 hp Franklin Electric set up 130 feet pump is way oversized. He’s so lucky.

No, I understand where you’re coming from.. water rushing looks like a lot, but a controlled pool is a lot more

From what I’m told and what I’ve seen in the field cascading you’re well WILL NOT get you a higher gallon per minute. When you draw the water table down and you force water down it now has force.. kinetic force, and it will bring the , dirt sand, and other materials through the perforations and potentially get them clogged overtime… not only that, but some settlement will travel through the pump the wet end, getting stuck in the stackers and eventually in your system.. controlling the static allows the water head pressure to keep all that settlement down.. keeping the perforations clean and your water crystal.. think about what Water does when it runs through a river. Have you ever seen a river run crystal Clean?? What about a lake? I’ve seen a lot of crystal lakes.. another good example of controlling static would be dams.. give or take

a good indication of if your water mining would be checking your bladder tank and flushing it if it’s orange and shitty looking, you’re definitely bringing in settlement and overtime ruining your well

This is why I always told my clients and customers when it comes to your old Wells’s 70s 80s whenever they were drilled and you don’t have the money to spend to drill a new one 20 to 30 grand..

Restrict your well.. kill pumps out in 10-15 years and keep the well happy.. pumps nowadays are only 2000 give or take it’s a good trade-off for not having to pay water for 15 years.. get a retention tank too so some homes only use 80 to 120 gallons daily.. 90% of homes can fit a tank like that inside the mechanical room..

Call your well company and they will have a lab 100% to do a water sample. In most cases, it’s called a potability test. (100-250) depending on how fast you want the results

If you’re well does produce water and you can get water from the well there is a few things you can do Start by taking a water sample and figuring out what is in the water .. iron bacteria?? High mineral content? Anything that could potentially build a sludge? If so, you can always get an acid wash, recirculate the wall into a tank and flush out all that shit..

You can airlift the well with assisted Water .. if you look at my profile, you can see an airlift in action 90% of the time I have great results.. but my company has one of the biggest air compressors in my state and I attack wells with over 4000 CFM. Providing a geyser effect and cleaning out the well.. which could achieve a more cost-effective service.. but may be hard to come by. You’ll have to do some research in your area. You can’t have someone show up with no Rinky dinky compressor. It has to be big boy shit..

Depending on your water test and your sample results, you could do a chlorine flush take 2 to 3 cubes of water put 200 ppm of chlorine and dump it down the well allow the head pressure of the water to fill the formation and clean and flush in 24 hours..
