This video shows how you can monitor the condition of your well. In times of drought this is a great tool to help you make wise decisions about water usage before you pump your well dry.

Thanks for the great video engineer775. Great to see the units out in the field!
wonderful tools both-a dem. will definitely consider getting them both.. thanks a la.
That is a really cool tool
Nice tool
What, why didn't you show the bow & arrow tip to do the same thing? LOL sorry I still have the fishing pole tip on my mind. This is really good information for drought areas! Thanks for sharing.
nice video friend thanks
I have one of these in one of my wells, you don't need an inverter and power supply. The wellwatch runs on something like 9-14dc. You could just hook it to a lead acid battery like you use in a UPS or security system. Then put one of the RV battery tenders on it and voila.
I heard somewhere ,cant remember where , that there is a source of what is called 'Prime Water' underneath the Whole of the Earth after a particular depth - sort of like a huge underground lake of natural fresh water
Do you have any info or knowledge about this at all , sir. . .??
Holy Smoke! How much power is required in a pump to pump water from a well with a static water level of a thousand feet?
Thanks for the good info! Will these devices shoot through cable guards and torque arrestors to water that is 200 to 400 ft down?
yes
Spiders love to build webs over the sensors. On the well monitoring devices I have used, it's nice to install so that it's easily removed for service.
I've tried to find out how deep my well is, with no luck. Is there a way to find this info, without buying expensive equipment? I think well installers should mount a plate to the housing with depth, volume, pump model & S.N., etc. Also, a nearby well, about 75 feet from mine, makes a lot of noise... sounds like a waterfall inside the housing... What's that about? It doesn't seem to coincide with rainfall. My property dates back to 1789, a filled and covered dug well is nearby (about 20' away) and every so often, my water turns rusty for about 24-48 hours. I'm always cleaning out the airraters, clogged with what looks like ground salt & pepper. Would love some advice and help understanding what I have here. Thanks, +Blessings
Fishing string and a weight.
In many areas I compare well water to solar power. It helps to have external storage capacity. You can take advantage of periods of high production and have a nice buffer for periods of low production. This is especially useful if your well water requires treatment for iron, sulfur, or biological issues. Batch treat it and store it in underground tanks. In all fairness, it helps to know (monitor) your water levels, but at the end of the day, dry is dry and it doesn't really matter why. I guess what I am trying to say is that a fuel gauge on a car should tell you when to get fuel, not when you will have to walk the rest of the way. You don't really have the option to "re-fill" your well. Recovery can take hours or days. Harvest the well water and store it while you can.
There are benefits to knowing when you are close to bottoming your well beyond just a warning of the inevitable. You really don't want to have your pump sucking silt or muck or nothing at all. Bad for the pump, bad for your down line systems. Even if the monitor can't help you prevent a drought, it can definitely help protect your system. I'd like to see some easy ways to use the monitor to automatically shut off the pump if the level drops. Maybe use a simple microcontroller to debounce readings and eliminate false alarms, allow overrides etc?
sreyemhtes Any good plumbing contractor, with a well certification, can rig a small, mini float switch that kills power to the pump. Much like a sump pump in your basement, but killing power rather than engaging it.
looks like you only need this device to check the water level not the one in the other vid.
thanks 4 the info
this one is for long term monitoring while the other is a portable tool.
So it stores the data into internal memory of some sort until you download it? I assume if you run out of battery, then the data is lost?
Yes it stores 25million readings at an interval you specify. if the power is interrupted you do not lose existing data. I just import the file to excel and graph.
+engineer775 Practical Preppers I have natural gas in my well. do you know a way to capture the gas and store it under pressure. thanks
without wireless capabilities and 12V option for power looks like a pain in the ass
These things are wildly over priced. Last I looked it was over 800$.
