Grupo:Get a plumber to add a flushing discharge. It basically consists of a ballgauge and a T- pipe. The whole idea is to monitor the water before you lock the discharge and start sending to your overhead tanks or containers. 1 Like |

brandybria: Wow. But I want to get something. Would your own bring out dirty water first before bringing out clean one? Or was the water usually dirty all through? |

That shows that the well still have some silt beneath that has not been cleaned out. The solution is to pump the water for 2 to 3hours non stop. It will be clean afterwards. Grupo: |

stagger: The geologist who did the survey assured me 65m was okay. And most wells around here are also around that depth. I can't really say something about the casing. But I believe it was full casing. |
Re: My New Borehole Pumps Out Dirty Water First, Before Clean Water. Help! by ejieddy: 11:02am On Jan 20 |
You need to carry out your own investigation with your neighbors. 65m means over 20 riser pipes and that entails that getting water in that area is quite difficult. So if anyone has gotten water by drilling a borehole, inquire if they experience same thing. Then at what depth did they get clean water. Though I reckon ground formation might be different for diff places. Even if you flush with chemicals, I doubt this will work because you have been pumping for quite long. I think the drilling company stopped too soon on drilling when they discovered water and it's on them. You would have paid quite a lot of money especially in Ebonyi because you have more rocky and limestone formation. So talk to them again or sue them. I feel this is a breach of contract because you might have to drill another borehole. 1 Like |

I think you have a well not a borehole. Go deeper! |
Re: My New Borehole Pumps Out Dirty Water First, Before Clean Water. Help! by ajadematanle: 11:11am On Jan 20 |
There is no cause for alarm. Borehole needed to be pump continuously for minimum of 24hrs before the water could be crystal clear. Pumpinf for 20minutes before getting clear got to show that you're getting closer to get completely clean.Just continue to pump.That's is the process.The driller will only pump to clean all the mud from the hole and also be sure that the pumping is not cutting, once it's established that the borehole is pumping well, the onus in on you to get generator or electricity power from the grid to continue pumping until no sand coming with the water from the borehole, then you can connect to the tank for use.I think this has allayed your fear 2 Likes |

LagBlogger: More over when the geologist told him there will be water @65m, He should had told him to drill for either 75-80m, there he will be assured of clean waters |

Reading through the thread I see alot of ignorant people saying things they know nothing about. Dear Op,I've been drilling boreholes for more than 20years. You need to conduct a water quality analysis; that's the only way to tell why your water is not clear. I'll also advise you stop making use of the water for now cos there's a chance the discoloration may be caused by harmful substances. I can help solve your problem whenever I am in the east. |

Similar to mine, After pumping for hours and another flushing operation with chemical and all that, I have resign to fate and connected a bleeder (flush discharge) to pump away water for 15 minutes before I turn on the tank tape. Most people that complain about dirty tanks do have this issue unknowingly because after installing, they were not there when the connection to the tank was completed. 1 Like |

I just checked Ebonyi state's altitude on google. It's about 125-250m above sea level so you still have a lot of work to do. Where I lived before, in Ijede, Ikorodu, Lagos, it was just 13m deep. 1 Like |

Grupo:Are u sure it was properly fushed after drilling? Since it's newly constructed, I think flushing is the issue. Just disconnect d water from d source. Pump and allow it to flush for hours. Den check for difference. 2 Likes |
