  • Enough Water

    I decided recently to redo my well point.
    The one that I had gave water 24/7 but at a rate of about 200 litres per hour. I was too slow, so municipal water was more economical, but also too expensive.
    When I was on leave a month ago, I blew three shafts witha water jet to 5 meters (15 feet) and I linked them.
    Now my water is about 2100 l / hour at 2 bar (roughly 500 gal / hour).
    This is available for 24/7, but at the back it take 75 minutes to wet everything down to 15 min at a spot and in the front 45 minutes. I wet three times a week.
    I am fortunate that the water do not stain our walls as some spots do.
    Regards

    Hmmm wonder if I should try sinking a well at the lottie?
    What do you get if you divide the circumference of a pumpkin by its diameter?

      ask first,as it may be classed as a hazard,or do it very discretly,like put up a small shed over where your shaft will be,i would not want to see you chucked of site,also where will your dug outs go,you will find mostly stones and clay,and heaven knows how far you gota dig down,a winter project coming on eh

        I always get a big puddle at the end of the path when it rains - its deep enough to get a fishing gnome, possibly called Genghis sitting there.

          On our old farm we had three wells, they were a tremedous depth, my father reckoned 180 ft. I often thought about the men who dug these wells, apparently Irish Navies. The death rate must have been horrendous. Our water bill is getting beyond a joke and yet I expect we are sitting on top of thousands of gallons of free water. in my garden there is a concrete patch with no obvious purpose I suspect that could well be a well maybe its worth having a chisel.

            Some information on boreholes in the uk

            I want a borehole on my property as a source of drinking water, irrigation water or for industrial use, what should I do?
