Well drilling question

[hosky]

Hey guys! I am going with the "no dumb question theory" here.

I have a 1800 ft well that is pumping sand (made posts about it before) and I need a new well. The well guy wants to drill a 350 - 600 foot well.

Two questions:

1) If the 1800 well is pumping sand can I move over an acre or so and get water art 600?

2) (Dumb question) Can we pull the pipe out of the 1800 and just replace the pipe down to about 600? Wouldn't that be the same as moving over a few yards and redrilling?

Thanks, Hosky (don't laugh too hard!!)

You can if the static water level is a few hundred feet above 600' so you don't pump it down to the inlet of the pump and run the pump dry and burn it up. The pump may be to big, so what gpm and hp is it? What is the static water level?

That's the deepest domestic well I've heard of. Your driller should know better than anyone where the water is and how deep you have to go.

Well drilling is different all over the country and the local driller is the best suited to answer questions like yours. That is if he has experience in your area.

Sammy, I was going to post the link to that video you were talking about. But I can only see half of the video. Is it just my computer?

Cary,
I'm not sure why it only shows half of the video but I can view it in full. Does anyone else have that problem?

Very cool! I didn't have the eye to see the silt but was able to watch the entire video.

I can see it too, but did have to scroll down to get the entire screen on my monitor.

By the way, it's not the most exciting movie I ever watched. Sorry Sammy, but don't get into movie making, It's not your cup of tea. I would have added some nudie pics every now and then or something to spice things up.

Good idea, along with the nudie pics, you could make a few bucks here and there.

Sammy,

I just tried to go look at the video again to see if I could figure out why some folks are having trouble seeing it. The site woudn't come up. Now you've done it, the movie is become so popular that and so many people are flocking to see the movie, have overloaded your server.
