Water well drill plans
These plans show you everything you need to build to start drilling for
water for your own backyard water well. Maybe even use the drilling rig for oil and gas exploration too.
This rig uses 2 gas engines and is trailer mounted for portability.
This simple design uses a small vertical shaft lawnmower engine and through a belt drive reduction turns a bit to drill through soil to a depth of 150 feet or more. The drill pipe is 1-½ Schedule 80 black pipe in 10 foot sections to ease handling during the drilling process.
A secondary motor drives a water pump to both cool the drill bit and remove loose soil. An air compressor can be used intermittently, but is not necessary. The drill is easily transportable if plans are followed and fabricated on a bolt together utility trailer. Speed reduction is by belt sheave (pulley) reduction.
The basic drive component is a modified wood lathe chuck. The basic indication that water has been found is that the water returning to the surface is cooler.
Water may be drawn from the earth using the typical well pump from a maximum depth of 33 feet at sea level. This includes the height of the pump. Water at a depth greater can be drawn using a positive displacement pump with a mechanical operating rod. This type of pump is seen throughout the country as a western windmill.

Very deep wells require a jet pump be placed below the water table to deliver the required amount of water. This well drill can be constructed using off-the-shelf items and standard steel shapes. It is a welded assembly mounted to a steel trailer frame available for less than $200. 2 gasoline motors of the Briggs variety power both the water pump and the drill. The rotating collar is similar to an oil drilling rig similar to a Foster Cathead. The rotary union for the
water injection is unique and if necessary it can be replaced for less than $6.
This detailed set of cad assembly drawings for building a portable water well drilling rig is printed in black and white on roll paper and includes 3 pages printed on (1) 36" x 48" sheet.
