Creating your own source of clean water is one of the main stages of arranging a private plot. Typically, water supply problems are solved by creating a well. The most significant cost item for such an event is payment for the services of specialists involved in drilling.
DIY drilling rig
However, if you really want to, you can save a lot on such an event by assembling a homemade drilling rig and doing the excavation work yourself. The manufacture of such a unit will require significant labor and time costs, but everything will more than pay off.
There are several types of homemade drilling rigs. Familiarize yourself with the key features of each existing option, choose the type of installation that best suits your application, and start assembling.

Preparatory stage of pit construction
The top layer of soil is prone to crumbling, so the well is protected with a special structure - a pit, in other words, a hole one and a half by one and a half meters, the depth of which is no more than 2 meters. Boards are used to strengthen the walls, and they also line the floor. The strength of the floor depends on the thickness of the boards, so products no thinner than 5 cm are used. The pit is covered with a second flooring on top.
The holes for sand wells are small in size and are located at shallow depths, while the holes for artesian wells go several meters into the ground
Then prepare the holes in the following order:
- erecting a drilling rig;
- remove the top flooring;
- find the center point on the lower flooring;
- make a hole whose diameter coincides with the shoe and couplings;
- cut out a second hole - in the upper flooring.
The vertical precision created by the two guide holes guarantees high-quality drilling.

Screw MGBU
A do-it-yourself auger drilling rig is built around the main working element - the drill. To make it, you should use a steel pipe with a diameter of 10 cm. An external screw thread is installed at the upper end of the pipe. The opposite end is equipped with a screw screw, the diameter of which is approximately 20 cm. You can limit yourself to one or two turns in the screw. A pair of steel knives are welded to the ends of the auger so that when the pipe is installed in a vertical position, there is an angle between them and the horizontal surface.
To ensure more convenient rotation of the drill, you should weld another piece of pipe (about 1.5 m) and a tee with an internal screw thread. The tee is screwed onto a collapsible rod. Such a rod should also be 1.5 m in length.
The drilling rig consists of: 1 – drill; 2 – knob; 3 – tee; 4 – collapsible rod; 5 – couplings; b – tripods; 7 – holes; 8 – winches; 9 – gear.
The drill is deepened into the soil, followed by turning it three times, after which it is removed to remove loosened soil. These steps are repeated until the depth of the hole approaches one meter. After this, the rod must be extended. To do this, another part of the steel tube is mounted on it using a coupling. To make a well whose depth exceeds 8 m, you will have to secure the structure to a special tripod tower.
The upper part of this unit must have a hole through which the rod can move freely. Since the bar will become increasingly heavy, the use of a winch will be required to lift it. The tower can be made of either metal or wood.

2. Downhole equipment is presented as a cross-section of a well (production string, tubing string, screw submersible pump (pump stator) on the tubing below, and a string of rods inside the tubing string with a rotor inserted into the pump stator). Stator in section, solid rotor with rotation of the rod string from the surface drive, with light indication of fluid flow from the formation to the surface (fluid flow from the formation along the internal part between the rods and tubing), anchor at the bottom of the pump, as a stop for the lower part of the tubing string into the production string .
§ Homemade winch and gear motor
When manufacturing a mini drilling rig, a “RA-1000” winch is used. You can take another one, but preferably one with a carrying capacity of at least 1 ton (or better yet, more). Some drillers install two winches, one electric and the other mechanical. In the case of a drill string wedge, it is very helpful.
To make the work easier, it is advisable to buy and connect two remote controls: one for reverse and engine speed, the other for the winch. This will save a lot of effort.
A gear motor for a homemade mini drilling rig will need 60-70 rpm, with a power of 2.2 kW. Weaker will not do. If you use a more powerful one, you will need a generator, since it will not be possible to connect to a voltage of 220 Volts. Recommended gear motor models for hydraulic drilling: 3MP 31.5/3MP 40/3MP 50.

What is a hand water pump
Having a source of water in your garden plot is the key to an excellent harvest. You also cannot do without it at home. However, water supply may be intermittent, and electricity supply in remote areas is unstable. In such conditions, it is necessary to purchase hand pumps for water at the dacha.
If you have shallow aquifers, you can drill a well yourself and become completely independent of the presence of an external water supply and poor-quality service from energy companies. The main thing is to choose the right hand pump for pumping water so that it gives maximum results with minimal investment and downtime for repairs and maintenance.

§ Do-it-yourself drilling
To make a water well manually, auger or shock-rope technology is used. The hydraulic method will require a drilling rig. A collapsible model of a small-sized model can be made according to drawings from our website. And perhaps drilling water wells with your own hands will become your business.
Screw method
Working with an auger is the easiest manual method. It is used only to obtain shallow sources, the water from which will be used for technical purposes.
To perform independent drilling, you need a drill, which, when screwed into the ground, destroys the rock and grabs the soil with its blades. Periodic removal of the auger is necessary to clean it of sludge. This work is done without assistants.
In addition to the drill, you will need a tripod to which the auger is attached, and a lifting mechanism (manual with a winch or mechanized). Without these devices it is impossible to drill. Even several people will not be able to lift the drill with soil from a sufficient depth.
The greatest difficulty is drilling strictly vertically. Only a fixed drill will provide the necessary verticality, without which the pipes will be deformed. To ensure proper verticality, after passing 2 meters, you need to install a temporary metal pipe - a conductor, which will set the correct direction of movement.
A downhole conductor is an additional pipe with a larger diameter than the casing. The conductor in the upper part of the wellbore protects against wall collapse during drilling and does not allow surface water to pass through.
The auger method can be used in soft soils. If the auger hits a moraine, you will have to repeat the process in another place. Quicksand are also more difficult. Softened soil is difficult to pull to the surface. Only an auger with blades curved towards the top helps.
Shock-rope method
To make a source in clayey and loamy soils, it is better to use the shock-rope method. This method is more labor-intensive, but reliable and simple. For work, a drill glass is used - it is a cylinder with sharpened edges.
The essence of the method is to raise the glass (in other words, the cartridge) to the height from which it is dropped. Upon impact, the cylinder becomes clogged with soil. Raising the glass to the surface, remove excess soil.
The shock-rope method is good for almost all soils. But it takes a lot of effort, so hydraulic systems are often used to lift the cartridge.
Impact-rope technology is also good because it shows when water-bearing sand will appear. When reached, a bailer with a valve is used, capable of lifting liquefied soil.
A bailer is a hollow metal cylinder used to lift liquefied rock and mud from a well to the surface.
