Letter Re: Drive Your Own Sandpoint Well

Mr. Rawles,
After reading the excellent article about drilling one’s own sandpoint well, I did a little more research, thinking this would be a perfect solution for backup water for our situation. I found a great resource with basically the same instructions, but he also includes diagrams. The best part, though are the instructions for a do-it-yourself “inertia pump” that can be used to draw water from wells deeper than a pitcher pump can handle.

Thanks for all the info you share on your site, I’ve learned so much from you and your contributors. – Trucker Girl
