I decided to start my own thread… so instead of derailing someone else’s thread I can just derail my own.
I guess you could say I didn’t want to muddy the water in the project thread.
As I said I haven’t got much shop time lately as we are getting ready to build a house.
This afternoon I got home from work and the well drillers were working. They usually show up 1 day a week so I went out to talk to them.The driller told me if things go like he thought they would they would get water out next week… then old faithful shot out of the ground. They were stunned. Didn’t have any of the parts to put on it so they had to call for backup. Within an hour the field was flooded.
Guessing about 20 psi. It was shooting 3-4inch rocks out of the pipe.
Tried posting a video. A still will have to do.
This was a couple hours later after they got a valve on it to control the flow a little. Originally they had planned to send a cutter down a perforate the casing in the gravel zone… plans have changed.
