to “stack” additional points to allow a greater flow of water. This may cut
down on the number of or eliminate the need for additional wells. This can
be done by repeating Step #8 until you reach the desired depth or cannot
continue any deeper. If it is necessary to repeat Step #8, 5’ sections of ¾”
pipe will also have to be added as well as additional sections of 2” casing.
If you have succeeded in obtaining an “Adequate Depth” which will allow
you to “stack” additional points, you will need to remove the tip from the
well screen. To do this, simply cut the tip off with the Hacksaw,
1” above
where the point meets the pipe.
8. After you have the 2” pipe down to the depth where you will have a
minimum of 18” of water over the well point(s). which was determined by
using the string and weight, you are then ready to pull out your ¾” pipe, if
it was needed, and install the plastic well point(s). Solvent cement the well
point using a 1 ¼” flush inside coupling to enough 1 ¼” PVC pipe to extend
a minimum of 10” above ground level when lowered inside the 2” casing.
9. After the well point and 1 ¼” pipe are lowered inside the 2” casing, pull
the 2” casing out of the ground, allowing the water bearing sand to
collapse around the well screen and pipe.
NOTE: Make sure the well point does not come out with the 2” casing.
10. After the 2” casing is pulled, lower your garden hose inside the 1 ¼”
pipe to backwash the screen. Backwash the screen for about two
minutes. If your point is 18 to 24 inches below water level within the well
and takes water at a rate of 2 to 6 gallons per minute, this indicates you
should have a water producing well. A pump is needed to determine
exact well output.
