Things like you did for your neighbor in this video; are part of why I’m subscribed to your channel! You’re a good guy, and good things come to good people! Just like the paving company doing your driveway from 2 hours away; if you did work here in Georgia where I live - you would have drilled the well and installed the pump on the property I bought earlier this year. Good on you, Philip; and happy thanksgiving! ❤
Agree on the Well-X-Trol pressure tank, mine has been in service for over 35 years now. Hard to believe but it is, same with the well, it is from 1989.
I have a Hallmark 3" 3/4 pump to fill our pond from a 1948 3' 90 ft. well. We have had the pump 2 years and the volume is decreasing. I purchased the protection plan knowing it would go out before 3 years. I'll most likely pull it and replace it in the spring. I love your channel. Keep up the good work.
A Megger is used to check insulation resistance of wire. Both ends must be open and it checks resistance to ground. But the wire must be in the ground to complete that test. Nice, yes a new reel of wire is much faster retaped and clamped and it should be good service. Good gesture.
You have great content. I was able to help a member of my community troubleshoot a bad pressure switch on their well when I was there doing alarm system work.
im disabled and i love watching your videos and work is quality not quantity you get what you pay for aqnd happy thanks giving to you your family and mum and dad etc
Man all those bare spots are just asking for major issues! Good on you for taking care of them! And I agree with what you said 110%, go get the wire and make sure to eliminate that as a problem, dead shorts in high amperage electrical can do a lot more than just cause a pump not to work
My well tank has been in place since the well was installed in 1991 and it's still going strong. I've had to add air once, in 2001... amazing how good quality parts make that difference.
Randomly ended up on your channel after searching for causes of low water pressure after just having a well pump replaced after 8 years. Watching some of your videos talking about how funny it is people close by finding you on here and being local looked ya up and your only about 3 hours from me. Love your videos and how detailed you are doing good work and helping people where you can. Will continue watching, as a 40 year old electrician they always put the j hooks in as practice with solid wire as extra safety measure to make sure the wire doesn't work loose and come out shorting out over time as it heats up and gets cold will work itself loose from expanding and contracting.
Our water plant got flooded so we were out of water for 3 weeks. I sent my family to my In Laws until the water ran again. I could get clean up at work but flushing the toilet with gallon jugs was hard.
Man, I just finished switching all my work socks over to those camelcity ones. They were spendy, but I spread the orders out over a couple of checks. Not having to battle my feet being tore up is huge.
This is what us real men do that were raised correctly, i am a mechanic by trade and have done a few well pumps and lots of diagnosing electrical issues on wells. Even in my world i help people all the time and it comes back later, having a good reputation is super important in a small city like mine and its the same where u are too i can see. My grandfather and father were always down to help neighbors or anyone who needed it but nowadays people take advantage of folks like us so u have to be careful. Ur a good dude and always will be, i am sure your pops is hella proud of u and how u turned out too. The knowledge u have in your field is what people need most just like in the car world, bet your phone is always going off from people asking questions or trying to get u to diagnose a problem over the phone. We mechanics hate that too by the way lol, most of the time u can make a educated guess depending on info given but its a crapshoot when all they say is it wont turn on. This customers problem is the wire for sure like u diagnosed, even though multimeter says the right voltage when u start throwing the amps through it the problem soon shows itself. Always take care of the neighbors man, got to buy em off somehow lol.
Well done. Appreciate your channel I think everybody's learning a lot. I know I am. Currently have a convertible one horse jet pump. 17 years or so old. Planning on replacing that with a submersible. And of course new tank. My Wells only 26 ft deep so it sounds like I would be able to get away with a half horse? Not sure if I should go with 220 or 110? If I remember correctly with a 220 you have to have a control board? Not sure if I have a pitless adapter. The well pipe is under a concrete lid which is actually my patio. I've had it off before but I never pay attention. You would think I don't have a pitless adapter with a pit...
Word to the wise:, if you think those socks are amazing, you've got to try felt/wool insoles. I have the same problem with cold, wet feet and since inserting those in my boots the difference is night and day. 5/16" thick 75% wool 25% poly blend.
I'm a Gould's pump fanboy, but that is based on a sample of one. We have a 3-wire 1/2HP 240V Gould's pump at our house that was installed in 1980 when the well was drilled. Can't complain about that. We have replaced the control box due to a lightning strike and the start capacitor several times over the years. So now I keep spares on hand. I agree with your comment about Well-X-Trol pressure tanks. I replaced our original pressure tank (forget the brand) in 2012 with a Well-X-Trol. Nice being able to help out your neighbor, Happy Thanksgiving.
I've done a test on the Vevor 1.5hp 120v pump with control box. Works great and pumps exactly what they rated it for. The videos are on my UA-cam channel. It pumps up our 84 Gallon pressure tank very quickly.
I would highly recommend the 1.5hp model. It's worked great so far in my mom's well. Using a 1/2 HP Meyers to fill the aerator. The Vevor is inside the aerator and actually feeds my mom's house 50-70 PSI with no issues whatsoever.
Longtime subscriber and follower… certainly appreciate your compassion and kindness and expertise. I have a question, I recently had my well pump changed and now I have low water pressure in the house. What could it be? Thank you.
My family of 7 lived in a house without running water for 6 months because there was a shared well and the other property changed hands and the b!tch of a new owner decided she didn't want to share. We carried flushing and bathing water from the local creek. A new well was drilled and we had the best water ever.
I have been watching your videos for a short time now and they have helped me considerately with what's been going on with my well, through the process of elimination......need to replace the pressure tank, pump works fine fairly new less than 3 years old. Thinking of replacing the pressure switch also....current switch still works fine even though I don't how old it is. Thank you for the informative videos. Keep them coming, learn something new with every one......really enjoy the go cart videos too.....Happy Thanksgiving to all your family!!!
Great video! It was a pump test video of yours that helped me decide which pumps to purchase for my wells. It was a troubleshooting video of yours that helped me fix a broken well. It was the go cart racing video that has me looking at a new hobby. Life has been better because of your videos - THANK YOU!!!!
Great job helping out your fellow man. (and neighbor). Phil, we need more people like you. Have a great Thanksgiving to you and all your family and co workers.
When it comes to submersible pumps, you definitely get what you pay for. Vevor/Hallmark pumps would be great for irrigation systems fed from a large storage tank, but not for domestic water. They would also made a decent emergency pump for domestic water, just to run short-term until you get a good Goulds or Franklin replacement.
You know what would’ve been really nice is for you to actually help that man out and do the work for him and show him and help him do the work. with a family of 12 Thanksgiving right around the corner it’s great to help out a family once in a while on your channel. I’ve been following you for a long time and to help out a family in a time of need would be absolutely amazing and huge for your channel. But then you leave his house and go to brag about your driveway is not the coolest thing I’ve ever seen anybody do on a channel bragging about how your house is getting a brand new driveway and this guy is without water. I love your channel, but not too happy about this one.
I wish I could give 2 thumbs up. I can’t think of a more deserving person to help. God Bless You for your kindness. BTW, your toys look FAST. I’m so old my R/C flies. Have fun. Be well.
Hey brother i just wanted to let u know when your pulling up to your home in the video you showed your address for a split second idk if it matters or not i just figured id let ya know just lookin out for ya Keep up the hard work brother
My 1978 Well Extrol pressure tank just went out. Bladder went bad. 46 years is not too bad.
Things like you did for your neighbor in this video; are part of why I’m subscribed to your channel! You’re a good guy, and good things come to good people!
Just like the paving company doing your driveway from 2 hours away; if you did work here in Georgia where I live - you would have drilled the well and installed the pump on the property I bought earlier this year.
Good on you, Philip; and happy thanksgiving! ❤
Nice of you to help out your neighbors out….
Tanks for helping your nabors. I hope he fixed it that day and replaced his wires.
I enjoy wells the plumbing installation pump test
Bless you Sir.
Agree on the Well-X-Trol pressure tank, mine has been in service for over 35 years now. Hard to believe but it is, same with the well, it is from 1989.
You're a good man, Charlie Brown! Pay it forward. Everyone needs a drink of clean water...
13 people in the house and as many dogs!!
I have a Hallmark 3" 3/4 pump to fill our pond from a 1948 3' 90 ft. well. We have had the pump 2 years and the volume is decreasing. I purchased the protection plan knowing it would go out before 3 years. I'll most likely pull it and replace it in the spring. I love your channel. Keep up the good work.
happy thanks givingto u aswell
Neighbors helping neighbors is what America is all about!!!!
These dogs lol. I love this video, so much love all over the place.
A Megger is used to check insulation resistance of wire. Both ends must be open and it checks resistance to ground. But the wire must be in the ground to complete that test.
Nice, yes a new reel of wire is much faster retaped and clamped and it should be good service. Good gesture.
Had a Myers shallow well pump 55 years old used regularly, put in a Zoeller.
❤❤VIDEO ❤❤ “” KUDOS”” you’re a good man..for helping your neighbor out❤❤
May the Lord bless you and your family.
I am proud of you ;-)
You have great content. I was able to help a member of my community troubleshoot a bad pressure switch on their well when I was there doing alarm system work.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Tell your dad he needs to catch a fish and share with us. God bless.
I agree with all the others here, helping the neighbor is gold!
Good man to help out like that. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
We need more people like you in the world.
Happy Thanks Giving to you and your family. Good job
Well done for your neighbor. Four days without water with a house full of people, you became a knight in shining armor. Very generous helping them.
If you went 4 days without water... you would be dead ❤
@@Curt-b2x You're a moron.
i wish i could help him buy some wire, cause i know he aint got it. Good on you for helpin him out man, good on you
Good man helping a neighbor always comes back around.
Hawk eye on wire failure. Trained eye very good
Happy thanksgiving ....definitely a worthy cause for a free pump..good one
good stuff bro God bless you
Well done Phillip!
Good Man! God Bless!
Very generous for you to use your talents and gifts to help a neighbor in need. It's nice to see some holiday charity in times such as these.

What an awesome channel man!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family...
You are a good man, have a Happy Thanksgiving
Sweet. Now if I could get the well guy to come back here and tell me why the 120 outlet in my well house doesn’t work would be amazing. lol 🙄
That's not a bad price for a driveway, Philip, mine cost $10,000 12 years ago and its only 110 feet long.
Thank you for your being a good person
Your a good guy
You helping out your neighbor is what makes livin' worthwhile. Thank you for doing that.
You rock. Man.
Hope ya have an awesome thanksgiving too 😊🎉
Till the next one... 🙏👍🤙
geez how many dogs does a person need? I can only imagine how much that pump is running

Proud of you for doing this for a family in need.

Geo locators have found you in 30 seconds
Bless you, that's wonderful.
God bless you brother....That family definitely appreciated the help.
It's always good to help your neighbors. I occasionally help my neighbor run a grain cart when he's combining.
Cheers to you Sir for helping out a neighbor. 👍

That’s what people do to help the less fortunate . Ur the man Phillip !!
Very cool. Thank you for take care of people
Thank you neighbor!

Good on you for taking care of your neighbor. Andy always said that you were a good man.

Thanks!
Nice Job... Helping your neighbor is great.
Dude replace his wire and tell me where to send a check, I'll cover it!

Good man, Charlie Brown. Can't wait to see how the driveway turns out. Have a great Thanksgiving Phil, hopefully you don't end up working this one.😂
God bless you for that charity...it will come back to you...

Alpaca socks are awesome but, 31.00 pair.
You're being a good neighbor. Available if necessary.
Awesome that you could help that guy out ! Happy Thanksgiving to all here !
Great job helping out your fellow man. (and neighbor). Phil, we need more people like you. Have a great Thanksgiving to you and all your family and co workers.
Hay I'm not 60 yet.... I have 6.5 months to go.lol

I haven't had water for 2 years 😢
Way to help your neighbors out, good man God Bless, great video
Happy Thanksgiving to you and you family also. Thank you for giving back. That shows a lot of character.💗
I wish I could give 2 thumbs up. I can’t think of a more deserving person to help. God Bless You for your kindness.
BTW, your toys look FAST. I’m so old my R/C flies. Have fun. Be well.
Helping out a nabour ❤
Nice looking place. Finding good contractors is a challenge. Good man for helping your neighbors. 😎👍
You're a good man. Love all the information you put into your videos.
Looked like 13 dogs also
What is your best recommendation to deal with an extended power outage and having water? Is there a good soft start system for well pumps? Thanks
Hey brother i just wanted to let u know when your pulling up to your home in the video you showed your address for a split second idk if it matters or not i just figured id let ya know just lookin out for ya Keep up the hard work brother
Happy T day to you and all..............................................
