Best Water Well Plumber on KZhead!!!

In my personal experience, this is probably the most accurate description of what a KZhead channel should be!!!! Great content and great work!!!!
I’ve been a pump technician for about 6 years now, you do a really good job of explaining things. Keep it up I’m 100% certain you help a lot of people out there with videos like these. I just subscribed
Yeah! What this guy said!
He helps more people than he knows. Thanks to him I did my own complete pump install, started with nothing - even had to build my own insulated/heated well pump house (no structure on my property) Next year hopefully will be changing to the pitless adapter. Love this channel.
We live in Ohio and everything here is on a pitless adaptor. Great video. The last minute explaining the connection was golden. Well done video.
And our water table is really high. IE about 2’ for me.
@@mikesbarn1858 Yeah I can't dig fence posts without hitting water in the bottom. My well is only 46' deep.
Mystery solved! I haven't seen a pitless installation before. I can tell from the cap on top of the casing that this is what we have up at the family farm. It's been sitting idle for 10 years and I will have to work on it at some point. Thanks for another very clear explanation.
My house has 2 wells and a cistern. Both we buried over. Im kinda bummed that my parents picked to do that, but oh well. Both were pit less into the basement.
I have the pitless adapter style connection and I have never seen a video that explains it or anything else well related with such clarity! Your professionalism and guidance is very much appreciated by those of us who have been fortunate enough to have found you & your channel! Subscribe & Smash That Thumbs Up!❤️
This is probably my most favorite video. I have a well that I just pulled up of 225' of PVC. The pipe had broken about 4' up from the pump at the bottom- and had burned up. I used a hitch deer hoist (I dont hunt....but now own a deer hoist. LMAO), vise grips, two 8' long ratchet straps, and a 2"X6" board with a U shaped cutout for pipe and wire to come up through. It wasnt bad...just time consuming...a lot of cranking. Sure beat the hand over hand removal. Now I have a new pump, polypipe, pitless adapter and all new fittings. So glad I found your channel. Thanks so much for your tips and knowledge.
I’m so glad you covered a pitless adapter setup. I’ve followed you for awhile now and your tremendous tutorials have really educated me and helped demystify water wells. I’m in the NE and have a 325’ well installed 24 years ago so getting prepared! I have sent a donation in appreciation. Thank you so much!
Yes Sir! Thank you so much for that! Seeing that really put a smile on my face! Thanks again for supporting my channel!
You are a great teacher, great content creator, and doing such a service to many sharing your knowledge! Thank you sir!
Northern Minnesota here, my pitiless is down about 8 feet. When I had my well refurbished with new parts after building a new home it was interesting to learn that the previous owners had actually buried the pressure tank down 8’ where the pipe ran to the house. The pressure tank was inside a plastic garbage bag which we hit with the excavator when installing the new pitiless. And no, I didn’t do it that way on the new install😆. People do sone crazy stuff.
It's crazy someone would bury the pressure tank that deeply. How do you ever service it.
@@arthurr8670 I think it was common up here to ensure they didn’t freeze in winter. Secondly it was servicing a mobile home so I’m guessing they didn’t have room? I don’t know why anyone would do it that way personally. My well guy said he made some good money over the years fixing them though! Ha
Thank you for this! We’ve got a leak really close to the well. I’m digging to find it but didn’t want to mess around until I understood how a pitless works. You did an amazing job of explaining. Again much appreciated!
Been waiting for a pitless video!! Did my parents well 5 years ago. 300 foot of poly pipe. Just about killed my dad and i. One of the hardest things ive done in my life! Once the pitless is free you own it lol. Didnt have a pipe dog. Thanks again for taking us along!
It sucks big time. I pulled one once 450 foot. and you are right once you start you are totally committed
@@thomassullivan2674 thank you for the reply I have been seen more SS fitting options and was curious. Let’s see what happens.
You needed a roller rig that attaches to the side of the casing. Hook up to a vehicle or 4 wheeler and away you go!
@@davidmark805 Great idea. I'll be doing that on any future repairs.
Watched quite a few of your videos, as soon as i seen most of them i figured your down south. Remember folks some pitless adapters are keyed, meaning most likely if a piece of pvc comes to top, and a metal piece is threaded into the top and resting on top of the casing with a hole in the center down the pvc, you need to make a tool from 1/2 steel pipe to slide down the inside of that top pvc and unluck the pitless lefty loosey, remove and then thread 1/2 t like he did but shorter to pull it. These are very common in the upper Midwest
Thank you….I never knew how to disconnect a pitless adapter. Very informative!
This is about the only type of well you see in the midwest due to the cold air, cool to see one being worked on cause I have a property with one!
I just saw another video where someone made a "Pump Dog" tool using a block of wood cut down the middle, a door hinge and a C-clamp. Superb piece of hillbilly engineering.
Great clear instruction! Another great tutorial! Thanks for sharing!
Good information.
Great video! Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge.
good to see issues and repairs ! kodo to you for educating.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your knowledge. VERY helpful!
your good at your job and at your videos. great work
Another excellent video! Thanks for demystifying my pitless adapter well.
I learned so much just from a couple of your videos. Thanks!
Thank you. Learned something new today
Clear, concise, well done videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Excellent description of this adapter.
That opening on flooding the house, just down the way a pipe froze and the water ran from upstairs to the basement for at least a week. Drywall was falling off the walls. Good advice.
Thanks, great explanation on how these pitless adapters work!
Very fun to watch. It helps to see everything in detail like this before working on my well.
You do a great job
Excellent detailed explanation of my 90’ well, which is a pitless style here in NW IN. Thank you.
That explanation at the end was super helpful! Thanks
The first understandable explanation and demonstration of a pitless! Thank you!
Great video!
My pump quit working yesterday morning and though my system doesnt exactly match this one, it was very helpful to steer me in the right direction. Hopefully all goes well.....
Thanks so much for this vid. You are great at explaining the important details.
Thank you. Your ability to show and explain what is happening is excellent.
You're awesome brother! Thank you for what you teach!
It important to mention that the pitiless adapter needs to be below the frost line….he mentioned 2-3 feet but in the northern states it’s minimum 4 feet
Best video ever made on the subject!
Explains the pitiless process perfectly 👍
Good explanation of pitless adapter!
Your videos are great, great explanations, My go to video if there I have an issue or just plane knowledge. Always great stuff! thanks for what you do and how you do it!
Thanks for this. I’ve been 23 days without water. New well drilled yesterday, trench from the well to the house dug today, and tomorrow we hook it all up. This really helped me understand what will happen and what to watch for as the work is completed (a friend who knows this work and the driller are doing that). 😊
Awesome, very informative, enjoying your videos and explanations
This is the best video ever
You are the wizard of water. Thanks from British Columbia.
Great explanation. Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Thank you for the close up on the adapter at the end of the video.

Great video! The ending is what I needed to see to understand that fitting. I plan to replace my pump this summer and its this pitless setup.
Excellent video. Found myself shaking my head yes, like I understand what your saying.
best explanation...Thx
You are definitely a great instructor! I like the way you put it in "laymens" terms for the averagat guy. KUDO's
well explained thx
I only recently came across your channel. I've done a lot of plumbing over the last 70 years, but very little well work. I'm sure I've watched over a dozen of your videos this week and there is NOT ONE that I didn't learn something from. I've lived on this property for twenty years, it has three wells and so far I've had NO issues. And, thanks to you, I'm pretty confident that with the acquisition of a well dawg, I can handle whatever happens in the future. Thank you immensely.
Thank you I wish you were in Montana to help us out I would hire you for our new well. Great information..... God bless you my friend.
This is the most thorough video I've seen yet. Trying to figure out how I can get emergency water from a well on my property and this has me a lot less nervous!
You are a very good teacher with attention to detail, mechanical aptitude, and problem solving. Anyone hiring should have these on their checklist.
Good job
Great instructions on pitless well pump removal plus tips . In rural Maine your channel provided a wealth of important information. Thank you n God Bless. Cliff
Finally found a video, showing a pitless adapter type install. Thank you so much for a great video. My hope is that my pump holds up til the weather warms a tad.
Between this and other videos, you've saved me thousands of dollars. Thank you so much for making these videos. I've liked and subbed.
Fantastic video!!
Well done . You my friend are a good teacher.
we have to use food grade lube for pitless installs. another good vid, ty for the content.
Thanks
Just came across your channel. We’ve got an old cabin with a well. Our pump was installed in 1974. It’s still working but,I’m expecting it to take a powder at anytime now. Saw your pump dog and knew I had to have one because I’ll be replacing the pump myself. Found one on eBay and bought it! Thank you for the valuable tip!! Be safe and the best of luck in your business!!! As I write this it’s - 22 in Montana 🥶🥶🥶
Great video bro.
Helpful information.
You are the "grand master " what a wealth of information you provide. Thanks for sharing your experience and talent.
Smart young man.Your dad has to be proud of your accomplishments. Thanks from Sc
Only pitless connections here in the Northeast. Good video
Yr excellent teacher...!!!!
