   Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming

   WOW!!! What a Ride!

   dropping the ford in the lake is too good for it...

   What is it, the waterhose slides inside the pipe meeting the soil and the water/sand continues to flush out the top?

    IMERC | Dec 22, 2007 06:54am | #9

    water goes down the tube abd moves the soil out of the way and lubes the pipe in at the same time...

    excess water and soil comes back up around the outside of the pipe...

   Is PVC suitable for well casing?

1. 
   VaTom | Dec 22, 2007 04:36pm | #13

   PVC well casing is suitable. 

   I stuck 30' of it in the mountain here (until I got down to hard rock).  Not many use steel casing here anymore.PAHS Designer/Builder- Bury it!

   You could have a lot of boulders, but maybe not.

   My uncle had a well on the atlantic shore in NC.  Water jetted and PVC.  Did it himself and had no problems at all.

   450 gpm, 3" pump on 4 cyl engine of '84 chrysler at 3000 rpm,

   20 gal of clorox into the pond, brought up a few yards of sand from 60 ft. in about 4 hours,  rock and boulders above that though, probably easy if you are pure sand.
