Our pump keeps kicking on everytime we flush the toilet and with what seems like little water use. We cannot find a leak so have no idea why this is happening? Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

My question is how do you make a private well a community well. My mother recently passed and her house is being sold. The well on the property currently supplies my sisters home and my futer home. Each home is on it own plot of land. If some one buys this property we are afraid they will deny us water. The deed to the property is in my name and I would like to get this proplem resolved immediatly. thanks for your help. PS I live in Texas.

Hello my name is Tracy I bought this property 3 years ago and there is a Well on the property, here is the deal I went down in the Well and replaced the pump then couldn't get it to stay primed so I replaced the injector the Well is 44 feet deep and when I measured it the water was at 39 feet. today I replaced the two lines with the injector on the end back into the Well primed the pump and got it to work ran a water holes out of the hole into the yard and watched the water come out it was very dirty and rusty , I just thought it was because the Well had sit dormant for so long then it quite pumping water. I removed the water lines again after trying to get the full again. it seems as if the Well is dry. If I where do use this driver point and hit water can I still use the lines and injector I have will the well fill back up if I were to hit water it 5 feet or ten feet will the water come back up to the point it was before or will I need to put in 2 new lines
If I used the drive point to hit water can I pull it out and will the water start up to where it was before. If not can you please give me so advise on how to do this and get it done.
I called a Well drilling company and they said I needed to have a new Well drilled I just don't have $7,000.00 dollars at this time thanks for you help.

Thanks Tracy Bentley Phone 720-620-3071

Have a 90' 4" well open hole w/6' of screen (homemade & gravel packed # 3 blasting sand). 1 H.P. sub pump14.6 gpm set @ 85'. The well makes a small amount of sand ( gravel pack and water sand when started up and will clear up but there's still a few sand particles in it when running full open flow (14.6 gpm). Haven't pulled pump up any or put a sand filter on water tank. I've ran it for 2 hrs and it stays @ 18 psi and pumps 14.6 gpm all the time,still small sand particles in dicharge of well.How would you fix the sand problem?

Currently have submerged pump to run water to two ponds and new house with construction nearly completed. Want to add jet pump with bladder tank to current system. I want to be able to run water to the ponds but I need the jet and tank for consistant pressure in the house. Is it feasable to use the two pumps in this manner? If so, how should I set up the jet and tank? If not, what do you recommend?

Have funds available until end of DEC (3 days only) to purchase water well drill that I can use on my property to get water, possibly 100-200' down through rock and clay.
I've considered the following (just cause I happened to find them online):
1. Rockbuster R-77
2. "HowToDrillaWell.com" using air pressure (although their demo of rock drilling seemed to do nothing)
3. Rockmaster TX 450, or possibly bigger?
4. drillingfab.com R-77 magnum or is this the same as Rockbuster?
5. and possibly Hydra-jett also called hydra-fab.

I am disabled and on SSI but have done house construction in the past. If I hired a couple of helpers with muscle would any of the above, or something else, be suitable and reasonably likely to get me dependable water. I live on top of a knoll that is Merced or Wilson's Grove (geology terms) that has an interface, somewhere down the hill not too far with hard sandstone (Fransican). Although this is a very, very dry area generally, my immediate neighbors on the knoll have found water between 60' and 200'.

What do you suggest?
Thanks so much for your help.

Where can I find imfo on building a homemade power auger for boring a 4 inch well? Can I just use a store bought unit and make my own extensions? Will this work or is there a cheaper solution?
