No plastic pipe. We use "inch and a quarter" galvanized steel pipe. (1 & 1/4 inch). Each section is held together with an outside coupling that screws to both pieces. If your area is right for this kind of well, then your local plumbing supply store should have the parts.
I live in eastern NC and everyone here has that kind of well. That's how we do it here. But not everyone has a pitcher pump. That's the next purchase on my list.
in ur case, i been told they would have to go down to 300ft for sweet water and 150 for salty water. Including the pump for sweet water $6500 and $5000 for the other. It seem like you had it ease
@disclosurenow9 I don't think you can do this in every kind of soil, it works best in sandy soil. I'm not sure where engineer775 lives but he obviously has the right conditions. We drill our wells that way in eastern NC too, but its all sand, no big rocks.
(continued) We actually use forced water under high pressure to drill our wells. You start the pipe with the water forced through it and as the water makes way for the pipe you drive it into the ground in sections with a big mallet. As each piece is driven into the ground you add another section and start driving again. Around 15 ft, you strike the water table.

Hey that's pretty neat.
If you're going at a rate of 5 GPM, how much effort does it take to pump the water, like in pounds of force? Is there any way to measure that.
