In most areas simply call the department of water resources and they will tell you what the static water level is in your area. If they keep the info - which most of them do - they will also have all kinds of other useful info like the well drillers log from when it was drilled/ what the static water level was then/ what the drawdown was like in the testing of the well as well as the original depth. It won't work for everyone but many people it will

Really isn't that difficult if your ear is near the well top.

Glad it helped

I’d like to come, but I don’t know where the meeting is.

​@neatnateable I don't know where the mygs are either. I remember I watched a few videos awhile back and I think they said in Springfield. Not sure. I just remember it was somewhere close enough I'd drive to and I meant to tey to get more info. I just got busy with life and forgot about these mtgs. Maybe someone will reach out to give us both some information

We meet on the second Friday of each month at 6:00pm. We meet at the Northview Senior Center at Doling Park, 305 E Talmage St in Springfield, MO....We would love to have you anytime. Meetings are FREE and open to like-minded individuals.

@@neatnateable Cking to see if you got the mtg info

@@lunabeta3516 Yes, I did. Thank you for the information, and thank you for checking.

This video focuses on how someone can do it without a "machine". However, if you wish to spend the money, they do make more sophisticated "machines" that will measure your well depth. Here is a link: amzn.to/41PLVd8

Thanks for watching our videos. I am not sure exactly what I said, but the only video that I can think of is the one titled "If you have a well, then you need this..." Find that under our videos for water.

That's not a bad idea. Just make sure the floater is small enough to get around the piping and other items in the well pipe. Then mark the fishing line.

The devices is designed to protect the vehicle's electrical system. The EMP should not effect any other part of the vehicle.

Glad it helped!

That would be almost impossible to get an accurate reading with so many obstacles in the path.

@@preparedandmore It worked for me. I used the app just to test how accurate it was and it worked within 2 inches which to me is incredible. The well professionals that installed my well had already told me the depth when they finished the job. That's why I know the apps accuracy. Your welcome.

Yes, our meeting are free and open to any like-minded individual. We currently meet at the Northview Center at Doling Park, 305 E Talmage St in Springfield. We meet on the second Friday of each month at 6:00pm. We do NOT meet in September because we do our annual Bug-Out Camp in September.

@@preparedandmore awesome thank you. I'll plan on stopping by in October.

Not a bad suggestion. However, a laser device must be precisely targeted and it would almost impossible to get it aimed correctly down into the well AND avoid all of the piping, wires and the well pump. Using a laser measuring device could would likely only be accurate if all of those items were first removed from the well.

Not a bad suggestion, however, it would be very difficult to point it down into the well and blindly avoid all of the obstacles. If you have a larger diameter pipe with the well pump already removed, then a laser pointer might be a great option.

Similar idea to dropping the ice or chlorine pellets, but yelling down the pipe is not as accurate.

Thanks!

You should be able to hire a local well service company to come verify the installation.

We will collect the money when you get there. Yes, it is $20 per person and covers 2 meals. Make sure you send an email to swmoprepper@protonmail.com and let us know how many are coming. Thanks!

Thanks for watching!

That would be easy IF you have a properly labeled well, but many do not. Also the water level can change based upon drought and other conditions.

Most experts would say that the static water level is the most important of the two numbers. You use the static well depth to place the well pump. You don't place your well pump on the bottom of the well, but instead place it 30-40 feet below the STATIC WATER LEVEL. For the purposes of this video we are attempting to find the static water level to determine what type of water pumping system could be used to get water out without electricity.

Mine too old for the map.

Ha. Here in Tennessee. depending on the county one is in obsoletely NO RECORDS are kept on anything except maybe your septic. I lived in Florida for many years and my well depth was also irrelevant. If you listened to his video carefully he explains that it is for static water level. 🙄

Ky doesn’t require any registration of any kind.

My state has it , yet well driller did not report it !

Thanks!

Glad you like them!

We meet at the Northview Center in Doling Park in Springfield. We always meet on the second Friday of each month. You can get more information by joining our free online group at www.preppernet.net

You are correct that this method is for larger diameter well pipes. You could still use this method of getting water, but you will need to us a much smaller pipe. That means more work to get the amount of water you need. You will also to trim down the rubber flush valve or us something else like a piece of leather. Still achievable but you will have to get a little creative.

I think a small plastic ball would work as well.

We don't currently have gardening on our list of upcoming topics, however, many of our attendees do successfully garden in the Ozarks. I recommend coming to our meeting and getting to know others in the area who garden in this soil. They should be able to help. I know several use raised bed gardens due to poor soil conditions.

We meet on the second Friday of each month at 6:00pm. Meetings are currently held at the Northview Center at Doling Park, 305 E Talmage St in Springfield, MO

There's a myth that carbon monoxide alarms should be installed lower on the wall because carbon monoxide is heavier than air. In fact, carbon monoxide is slightly lighter than air and diffuses evenly throughout the room.

Great point. No I did not. Probably did make a few feet difference.

Glad it was helpful!

That's not good. You certainly don't want the pipe to fall but you need to be able to open the cap. Interesting dilemma.

Saffff1000 has an older type cap. Before the type you have was developed the pipe was attached to the cap. Usually, the cap was split the pipe come out the top. Older wells had these. That is why most farms or ranches had well houses everywhere. I have about 10 of them on our different ranches. The pressure tank and plumbing is installed inside the houses. And your trick with the tape measure wouldn't work on most wells. Usually there is a rubber arrestor on the pipe about every 100 feet. It to help reduce torque of the pipe, and reduce wire rub.

Great information. Thanks for the comment.

@@benjaminjohnson5469 Or they just don't live where you live. Well seals are still in common use where weather doesn't dictate a buried well head with a pitless adapter

When I installed my first well pump in a 165' deep well, I didn't know about arrestors and dropped the pipe and wires straight down. 10-15 years later, the wires shorted out and I pulled the pump to find the insulation rubbed off. Replaced the wiring and reinstalled with arrestors, and have had no trouble for 30 years.

Glad you found the information that you needed.

Bottom refers to the deepest point of the drilled well. There will be rock or dirt below that. The methods discussed here mainly determine the static water level which is the top of the water inside the well. However, the tape measure with a weight method can be used to find the bottom if the weight can be lowered past the well pump. Hope this clarifies.

You're welcome! Let us know if you have any other topics we should cover.

Glad you liked it!

We got those added for you. Thanks for the feedback!

Timothy, the description above has been updated to include links to the downloadable handouts.

Good call! Especially for those vehicles capable of helping tow something

Randy, sorry the audio did not work for you. We have checked it again today and it works fine for us. Maybe it was just a youtube glitch. Please try again.

@@preparedandmore seems like it's left channel audio only that's working. Right channel is out.

Thanks for the feedback we will look into this audio problem and try to have it resolved for the next video!

Thanks for liking!

Absolutely agree to both points!
