Awesome. This what I'll be doing Monday and now have seen what I hoped would work. I'm a 127' with 6" steel casing that had a windmill over it in the 50's and60's. Current pump has been in since 1990 and is tired and slow, I expect a pickup load of sand and grit to blow out. Thanks for demonstrating this process.
I send you positive vibes that it works. All it did for us was buy us time we had to drill a second well. That second well has the same issue🙄 we don’t even know what to do anymore.
@@Sam2boyz Sorry to hear you're having such problems with sand. Surely there is a driller in your area that can over bore the hole enough to get an adequate gravel pack to catch the sand. But oh! the cost involved especially drilling for the third time.
@@Sam2boyz hope you were able to get you well issues resolved! We have to do the same in a 220' deep well in Northern Nevada when the weather clears. Blessings to you and your Family!!
Hey great video! Im looking to clean my well casing of built up rust, im hoping to wash the loose rust down then possibly use the compressor to blow all the CRAP out. Would the cimpressed air method work for my case, my well is 75 ft deep.
Thanks for the kind comment. I think that a long as you have enough cfm in the air compressor it should blow it out. Another thing we were going to try as we are still having sand in our well is dumping a 1000 litre tote of water as quickly as we can down the well to offset the water level and hopefully push back the sand. When we do I’ll post a video of it.
@@Sam2boyz Great! How long did it take in total and has the well remained clear? I flushed my well for 24hrs, over 2.5 days, the water cleared with occassional sand when it stops and started again. Looking at all options to save myself the cost of a new well.
Jayne Kelley we flushed for about 8 hours off and on just like u see giving the well time to refresh the water lever in between. We stil get sand in our filter that is on our water line after our holding tank but it’s never been completely plugged like it was that day.
@@Sam2boyz I added a 60 micron filter in the same area but it filled with sand quickly & affect the pressure. Im going to flush the well this weekend, on and off for an hour at a time to change the well level and see if that changes anything. If not, Ill pull the pump and measure the depth, the pump sits at 40' per the company who installed it. Don't know if its sitting too close to the bottom and sucking up sand since we have a high water table here in FL and its a 1hp pump.
Jayne Kelley we had to remove our pump to flush our wel. We pulled it as the video says what depth it was at and flushed the sand out. We wanted to flush more but we had to return the large air compressor we rented or we would have had to pay for another full day. It bought us so far a year. 🤞here’s to hoping we can keep cleaning our sand filter regularly on our water line and that our pump keeps pumping. Sending u positive thoughts and best of luck

This is what I need to do, just had one dug in uk and I don't think they flushed it out properly, getting loads of sediment.

What was the top pressure you used? Good video.
Honestly we don’t know we ran that air compressor and it had a butterfly valve on it to allow more pressure and less the gauge was not in a good spot.
Did you clear your well using the compressed air? The video didn't say.
Jayne Kelley yes we rented a large air compressor and the pipe my husband made and put down the hole to blow the sand ip
