Manual drilling: tips and tricks

Thanks to the well, it is possible to get access to water in those places where access to highways of communications is very limited. At the same time, the process of manufacturing such a design is quite tedious and requires the presence of certain equipment.

However, there is also manual drilling, allowing to achieve the desired result without resorting to the help of special equipment.

Phased process

First of all, it is necessary to say that this type of work is designed for the fact that the level of the aquifer is located no deeper than 15 meters. At the same time, manual drilling of a well is best combined with an Abyssinian well, or as it is also called a needle. The fact is that this is the most optimal design for this process, and it does not require much effort or special equipment.

Preparatory work

• First you need to purchase or rent manual drilling rigs for drilling wells. They have a different type and method of application, but the main task of such devices is to make holes in the ground of a certain depth.
• It is necessary to say that the chosen type of construction is quite comfortable with the original three-meter well. However, to facilitate the work of the master try to increase this distance to the maximum possible. Namely, to the depth that the equipment allows.

• Further, the installation manual recommends preparing special needles. They are made of a pipe, at the end of which a kind of pin is fixed, so that the structure can easily enter the ground.
• A little higher, the needles in the tube make several holes through which water will flow. Some masters in this field advise to place a wire filter for the well, although quite often it is simply not installed.

• Also, this technology of manual drilling of wells assumes that the design of the needle will be prefabricated for ease of operation. Therefore, it is made of several segments of 2 or 1.5 meters in length. They are threaded for connection through the coupling.

Tip! Professional craftsmen do not recommend the use of thin-walled pipes, since they will not only perform the functions of a water supply system, but also casing.

Installation

• First of all, it must be said that the water from the well is the property of the state, since it belongs to the category of minerals. That is why you must first complete all relevant documents and obtain a license.
• After all the formalities are settled, you can take a hand-held drill for drilling wells and get to work.

• Professional craftsmen advise choosing such a drill so that its diameter is slightly smaller than that of a pipe. So the construction will tightly enter the soil and securely lock in it.
• It is believed that to produce such a well enough depth of 3 meters. However, if the work is done by hand, then you should use the drill as much as possible. That is why professionals make a hole to the depth that their equipment allows.

• At the next stage, the pipe is inserted into the well with a pointed end down. After that, it is slaughtered.
• If the length of the needle did not allow to reach the aquifer, then it is increased and also buried as much as possible into the soil.
• For this work, use a special percussion instrument that does not damage the thread at the end of the pipe. However, it should be said that there is a drill for manually drilling a well, already equipped with the necessary blocking mechanism.

• Immerse the needle in the ground until it enters the aquifer. After that, a water pump is installed on top. It is necessary to mention that such a system can work fine with a hand pump.
• The fact is that the price of such a device may be slightly higher than the cost of the pump, but it does not need electrical energy and is highly reliable.
• Special attention should be paid to the fact that a huge number of various devices and devices were invented for the manual production of wells. All of them differ in their design and require a certain use of force. That is why the choice of the appropriate system should be approached from the calculations of the technical conditions of a particular area and the estimated well length.

Tip! Do not take these recommendations as guidelines for action. Therefore, if it is possible to use equipment, then it should be used.

Conclusion

Watching the video in this article, you can get detailed information on how to make your own well for water. At the same time, on the basis of the text outlined above, it should be concluded that it is entirely possible to manually create a well, which will have a depth of not more than 15 meters. For other water supply systems, the use of specialized equipment is recommended.
