Hello, I would like to try to surge or jet my hand dug well. It looks like this.
4 inch casement pipe with many slits in it from angle grinder. Pea Gravel then dumped around annual area. At this point I learned my lesson about sand. (I didn't know about mesh sizes) and found out what I should have done. (proper mesh screen, etc)
I then bought a 2 inch pipe that has .010 screen that has 20x40 pre-pack sand around it and placed it in the rookie casement system described above.
Now I would like to surge it to try to remove the fines away from the casement area.
Can someone describe to me how would one surge a home drilled well. I dont get this description.
"By moving a surge block up and down the well, water is forced into and out of the aquifer, and mobilizing the fines"
How would I do that and surge a home dig well with normal tools and equipment.
thanks
