How my father-in-law and I cleaned the well without a bailer with a plastic bottle for 25 rubles

I want to share my life story: the task was to revive my own well (depth - 25 meters, D pipe = 110 mm, "sand"), which over the past 6-7 years gave 30-40 liters of water in hour.

Repeatedly they turned to the balers, who did not give a result - the debit did not increase: the same 30-40 liters per hour, and the money was spent.

Therefore, on the Internet, they found an original way to clean the clogged bottom of the well. He sketched the whole process in the figure:

How it works:

1) We take a 2 liter plastic bottle, cut off the bottom, insert the end of the garden hose into it, and inside - 15 cm of a steel pipe of slightly smaller diameter. We fix with electrical tape and / or clamps.

2) We connect the hose to the second well (we have it, but it gives bad water, but the pump is right in it - the pressure is strong). Most likely, you do not have a second well, so you can use a Eurocube with water.

3) We lower the bottle into the well to be cleaned. For 15 seconds, we turn on the pump in the second well, and we feel how the hose with the bottle crawls down - a stream of water washes away the sand that got into our well.

4) Turn off the pump after 15 seconds and pull the bottle up by the hose. You can see the result yourself:

The bottle is full of sand. We repeat the iteration until the bottle is half-empty, and increase the water supply time (we got it up to 25 seconds).

I hope this method helps you too. Good luck!
