There's dozens of Helpful Plumbing Videos on my Well Pump Q&A Playlist, So go check it out!
In this video we return to the Muddy Mess Well Site we left 3 days prior. The customer wanted to finally be rid of the nasty red mud water he's been dealing with for over a year, so we scheduled his jobs first thing Monday morning. This Video shows our process of installing a Submersible Well Pump, Grouting the well, trenching pipe & wire to the home, along with the Pressure Tank hooked up to the existing filter system. Hope you Enjoy this episode!

Can’t find your second channel if you can link it please?
Also can’t find other site.

It's my hobby channel. Stuff none work related.
Should upgrade to milwaukee propex expansion instead of the torch.
As an electrician one look at that panel and I pulled the covers over my head
Very nice installation young man nice and clean. Looks good.
Nice work, maybe next time do two 45 degree bends on the water line in the house or 22.5 bends. Thanks.
When he said time for the big boy. I was thinking either 3 inch or 6 but not 1in lol
Damn toilet inlet valve leaking water into the overflow running the water low, problem solved for $20 & no plumber, thank you h20 mechanic
Could you have trenched closer to the pressure tank from the outside to have less piping inside across the house?
Another fine job!
Nice work
Another fine job by the H2O guys.
Thanks!
u do such beautiful work; luv 2 watch it. peace
Like that outlet in the block wall
Wife and I are still Bing watching you! Up here in the Adiroundack mountains we burry our water lines at least 6 feet deep. Even at that depth in 1980 when we had the Olympics without snow many waterlines froze that year!
Click-it pipe clamps work great
I reckon its a good thing yall got that job done before the rain we're getting now (1/9/24)...what a swamp.
Omg its terrible here as well! 1.6" on rain in 1 hour! Flash flooding bad
The fact you start the video with well! 😂
Thanks for this and all your extremely interesting videos. Wondering if you've ever had too go through a stone foundation to get in a cellar?
Love your videos. You guys should get a mud bucket for your excavator. Makes it a lot easier to clean up your material.
Ha my dad has the same chimney brush for our wood burning stove at the cabin
If you drill a hole from the inside, always point your drill a bit downswards.
Hell yhea 🔥
must live in the south. we're 4 to 5ft frost line here
Great channel !!! Why does not the grout plug the actual well.
You all do fantastic work but I'll never understand why you don't push for pitless adapters on everything. They're superior for freeze protection
I was wondering the same thing. Seems like it could freeze.
Id do the pitless adaptor with a hydrant....but Id also hope to find some sulphur water
Not a freeze problem down here
362 days a year sure. But our friend the H2o mechanic does videos every year when the north wind blows and peoples water freezes up. What would a pitless and hydrant cost? Extra $500 bucks? Probably less. Most everyone wants their water to work 365 days a year. @@kevinblevins2612
put the fern on before you glue .... hahahahhaha then glue and stuff
The dust from drilling into masonry produces silica dust that can cause silicosis. Might not want to blow it up into your face.
Wow that breaker box is a huge fire hazard I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night if I lived there
That breaker box is top of the line Square D QO series, it definitely does not need to be replaced. Only the one breaker with the rusted terminals needs to be replaced and it appears it is not in use.
Did not find the 2.0 channel, you should add the link.😊
Noice!
Just found your channel...really impressed. Two questions for you...first is do you ship your products to Canada? Second is more technical...I'm going to install taps at my well head for easy access to water and just run the submersible from a generator as we will only use seasonally. How do I set up the line to drain so it doesn't freeze in the winter?
Install a pitless adapter and run it to a frost proof hydrant. That keeps everything below ground. Yes I ship to Canada, it's just a little more expensive. If there's any trouble ordering, just email me thru the contact link on the website
Do you use a skid loader and cleane up all the dirt and mud?
Hello H2O,
My well system is not building pressure. Pressure tank is old, but is not full of water (damaged bladder) and has air (correct amount). What is a good indication a well pump has bad check valve?
I recently purchased a 2 acre land where i will be moving in a manufactured home, there is a well at the property but no pump, i already checked it and the water starts around 70 ft, and the weight attached to the measuring tape went down to 250 ft and I believe it could go even further, my question is what pump do you recommend and how deep should I install it? Will be the first time doing something like this, so i am trying to get as much info as possible! Thanks in advance
Why dont you use pitless adapters to bring the water out below ground and no chance of freezing? Or can you not use pitless adapters on pvc well casing?
Curious why you just didn't bring the line into the basement on the other side of the basement (by the pressure tank) so as not to have to run the pipe along the inside of the wall.
Does your area of Virginia not require a backflow preventor on the pump line?
Another CZcams channel I saw they recommended adding an extra brass backflow preventer above the pump to prevent the weight of the water column pressing on the pump itself. They said it made the pumps last longer, especially those with weaker pumps and plastic backflow preventers.
Just curious if you were to use for that situation coming through the foundation used a couple of 45s to put less restriction on flow just curious as to why cause it just seems like it would generate a lot of restriction with each elbow
45⁰s have been proven to have less strength in areas of stress. I was taught years ago to not use a 45 below grade unless necessary. 90s only begin to be a issue in smaller pipe or in high flow systems.
I wonder if there’s gold in that Quartz
I am still unable to find your other channel can you help with with finding it
No gold in ya their quartz? It would help pay the bill!
Genuine question what of 3 wire pumps do you recommend?
Dumb question: For cases like this where the tank and everything is inside, wouldn't a pitless be a better approach so you don't have to worry about insulating or heating pipe outside?
State requires a water sample port directly at the top of the well head. To install a pitless requires a yard hydrant as well.
@@h2omechanic Gotcha. Seems goofy that it couldn't be right inside the entry point, but that's state laws for you.
@@h2omechanic That's idiotic. You could put a sample port on the line inside the house and get the same water out of it.
@@h2omechanic that's a ridiculous rule. In my area we are required to use pitless adapters. We have to install a non threaded sample valve ahead of any other part of the inside system. Typically we'll install them between the service pipe entrance and the bladder tank. We're also required to install a sample valve after each element in a water treatment system. Say you have a sand filter, a water softener, and a chlorinator and contact tank...you'd have to install 4 sample valves. The only one the health dept inspector is going to use is the one ahead of the bladder tank though.
With grouting your well casing, i assume you drill a larger hole than the PVC pipe, be do you then drill a small diameter inside that casing down to the water level? Just trying to understand how does the grout not get into your well?
Probably a seal at bottom before grout...
I have a lot of questions. Why use PVC with a hard these hard 90s up at the house? Why not use poly all the way so you can sweep it around gently? If you are not in a freeze area and are not using a pitless, why did you enter the house below grade? Why not enter above grade so you don't have to worry about that sleeve leaking? Why use the PVC sleeve with all the goo instead of just packing the hole with hydraulic cement? Are those black iron nipples at the brass valves and pressure gauge manifold?
Wouldn't it have been easier to dig back to the old well and hook into the line there, or did the customer want both wells to be usable?
in the 1st video they said that they are going to keep it as a back up and for watering the yard
Oh c'mon...the people who built our house ran the plumbing along the outside wall at the sill plate with no insulation and it was fine (until we had cold temperatures and flooded a finished basement)
14:30 Please don't blow on the brick dust like that, the pharmacist has a "bulb syringe" enema rubber bottle sort of a thing, about 4" dia? it works as a very effective blower. It will do a far better job than your lungs, will save you from eating cement dust and possibly getting it in your lungs and eyes, and it's small compact and light so it's not like you have to carry around an air compressor.
Looking for your other CZcams channel H2O mechanic 2.0 can’t find it. Could you put a link
czcams.com/video/TGeqQV_Cr_I/video.htmlsi=8bJjkC3sEpL0EVg1
Hi, just a small detail I keep seeing in your videos: it feels bit wrong to use electrical tape to be submersed in drinking water. It can leach all kind of unhealthy stuff into the water (PVC softeners like phtalates - BPA etc...). Probably not a big amount but still something to think about
What size wire should i use for a 300 foot 3 wire 220v pump?
What size hp motor
@@h2omechanic 2hp 230v 60hz 33gpm
@@brad2290 #10 wire both in the well & in the trench.
@@h2omechanic awesome thanks for all the help
I’m surprised that you haven’t installed a sand filter to remove all the iron from the water. The irony we’ll water needs to pass through a sand filter. The best way is to spray the water upwards within the sand filter so the water falls down in little goblets then through the sand filter & 9 times out of ten you end up with crystal clear water. Then you set up a reverse flow of water to force the water up from the base of the sand filter to back wash as you would do in a swimming pool filter! The water needs to be aerated before it goes through the sand filter! I’ve done this sort of thing & it worked 100% efficient! In certain places in New Zealand underground water is very irony & rusty & clogs up paper filter cartridges very quickly!
Your right, air injection filtration works great when dealing with iron.
Love the videos. Don't call me a hater, cause i'm not, but you cant run that pump wire like that. It cant be attached to the water pipe inside the dwelling, needs to be in its own conduit through the wall and along the wall, or at least up to the wood plate under the floor joists then you can staple it along the plate or bore through the joists. NM cable has to be protected when exposed in the dwelling.
Depends on your state local codes. Not all states have the same requirements for.
@kevink4914 bingo. Our state simply states wire must be secured to the pipe. Conduit is required where wire goes from block to sub floor. But I do see his point & totally agree it's for the best, just not required in this specific county.
If your state follows the NEC that won’t pass code enforcement inspection. I think VA does.
He can and he did
