The 7 Basic Items You'll Need to Drill a Water Well
1.
The Drilling Rig
The Hydra-Drill is the most popular water well drilling
rig in the world. With this amazing machine, you'll not
only drill your own water well, you'll also have fun
doing it!
2.
Drill Stem
The drill stem connects the drill bit to the
Hydra-Drill and is a conduit for the drilling fluid.
First decide how deep you would like to drill, then
order enough drill stem to drill the entire depth of
your well.
3. Drill
Bits
The drill bits are attached to the end of the
string of drill stem and cut through various formations you
encounter. They have a tungsten carbide surface which provides
an extremely hard cutting edge.
4. Well Casing
The well casing is the outer pipe of
your water well. You install the well casing
after you have completed the drilling process.
The casing is lowered into the hole and keeps
the hole open. You will need the same amount of
casing as drill stem.
5. Well Screen
The well screen is a section of pipe
perforated with thousands of small slots. The
screen attaches to the bottom of the well casing
and filters out sand and sediment from your
water. Using a well screen prolongs the life of
your well.
6. Well Drilling Pump
Water flushes the cuttings out of the
hole as you drill. Besides using far less water,
the re-circulating pump allows you to use
drilling mud to improve your drilling success.
7.
Drilling Additive
Powdered natural clay and an organic liquid
polymer are two important ingredients of a professional
drilling fluid. These additives help remove cuttings
from the hole and keep sand and gravel layers from
collapsing. Drilling additives can only be used with a
re-circulation pump.
