Pro tip: pound the tubing in above the city water line.

A few notes from a well industry professional: If you live somewhere that has winter that buried line should be at least 4ft deep to avoid freezing. There's special adapters (called a pitless) you can buy so that the junction with the well casing can be buried as well. Also, if this DIY well is to be used for drinking water you need to check with your town hall. You may need to file for a permit and prove that the well is a safe distance from any septic systems.

The amount of times i rewatched this when I was younger is crazy💀🙏🏻

I have been using the similar/possibly the same Harbor Freight pump without the pressure tank fed from a water source and have been very impressed. It easily supplies 4 impact sprinklers. Those pumps are definitely on of HF's hidden gems.

Amazing how you are able to do this where I live in California and have a better chance at finding gold than water underground. You are lucky to have all that water available on tap....literally

[ryanalexander]

Brilliant. Information like this is something that should be taught in like high schools. We can’t teach American history anymore without someone losing their mind. So just replace it with info like this. So helpful.

That particular Aquor attachment, that angle valve, has a very fine strainer in it. That's likely why your pressure was so low. You can use some needlenose pliers to unscrew it and remove the screen.

Yes I was asking for this. THANK YOU 🙏

This guys is amazing and blessed with the perfect tutorial voice.

Excellent video! Very instructive and the flow of the video was perfect! Well done, sir!

[S.E.C-R]

What a great idea… you make everything look so easy and your narration is great also, your explanations are clear and and easy to understand!

[BRONXDEVILDOG]

Loved every minute of this video. Such a resourceful system. Awesome.

I'm loving the evolution of your shed from delivery to full off grid test setup :D Can't wait to see it fully stocked when you do the organization video later!

I did something similar at our lake this summer. If you end up hooking this to a sprinkler system, go full 1" supply lines and then half inch to each sprinkler. Rigiht now your pex will be a bottleneck and restrict the GPM. Likely not an issue with one sprinkler, but will be with more heads

There’s a few mods you might want to make, as I’m in MA as well. Did you forget about winter? Might want to add some way to blow out the water out of the lines, to winterize the system, or bring that HF pump and portable battery indoors during the frozen tundra time coming up. Good job, very creative.

You are a channel of many talents. Those well systems are fascinating. Wish we could do that in CA.

Pro plumber here, you did a phenomenal job! I was in shock at all the small, but pro stuff you did. Like that drip pan, I was like, Woah!!! Then you added the drain, and I was like WOAAAHH!!! If you would have ran that tilube out to the side of the cabin as an indicator that it's leaking, I would have just about lost my Sh***t!!! :DDDD.

One small criticism I'd have is more of an experience thing, but the stronger material is always your female. The connection you had on your pump, you used a 1" brass nipple and connected it with a pvc female. The plastic is molded in two halves and can split, resulting in a leak down the line. Next time, plastic MIP into the pump, or brass coupling and plastic mip.

Tl:Dr plastic mip > plastic fip

Just an idea for when running your hose through the studs. Put a metal plate on the front side of the stud to protect the hose from future projects. You don't want to drill into a stud later and screw into your hose creating a leak.

"Inch anna quartah, " yep, you're in New England, all right. :)

In New Yawk City in the 70s our social studies teachah was from Boston (or Baastin). As a recent transplant from Colorado, I found his accent entertaining, but when he got around to agriculture in Asia, "Da fahmah in Chiner" set me into such a laughing jag that I had the first of many trips to the assistant principal's office. Mr. Zuckerman heard me out, agreed somewhat, and sternly ordered me to suck it up and behave.

Good times.

Idk why I watch your videos and I don’t even own a house yet 😂 I’m storing the information for later! Good work
