Advance Hydro Well Development Tool

We’ve done it!

Pumpman NorCal has developed a new well-development method that works better than the old air lift methods.

The Old Method

Previous, similar re-development tools used an air lift method, at best this will only you give you a rough idea of how you are progressing during the re-development process.

Why is it so ineffective? It only provides a guess or estimate.

  • There is no way to accurately measure
  • Cannot measure Sand Production
  • Cannot measure Draw Down (pumping level) with the air-lift method
  • Cannot measure the flow rate with the air-lift method requires a container and stop watch, (but you can’t measure the flow on a constant basis)

Most specifications call for swabbing, brushing and or cleaning a well for so many “minutes per foot” of perforation, or a “prescribed number of hours”, with no mention of “Let’s Do This Job Until You See The Results You Want” The only way you will know if you have done any good, is when you re-install the permanent pump, and if the job is not complete, or not up to your expectations, it would be very costly to remove the permanent pump, and re-swab the well.

The New Method

Gives you accurate data on:

  • GPM
  • Specific Capacity (draw Down)
  • Sand Production
  • Accurately Measures Your Improvement, while you are in each perforated zone.

You see all of this information or data (or both) as you perform the re-development work.

Water Wells

Advance Hydro Well Development Tool

Advanced Hydro Well Development Tool provides accurate GPM, drawdown, and sand production data for efficient well redevelopment.

Best Practices In Well Management

Maintain well integrity by keeping the area clean, performing monthly inspections, scheduling annual professional checks, and keeping detailed records.

Hot Water Wells

Expertise in installing submersible and line shaft turbine pumps for hot water wells up to 215°F, suitable for spas and commercial uses.

Rehabilitating Water Wells

Well rehabilitation restores water flow by clearing debris and silt from perforations, enhancing production and extending well life.

Well Abandonment

Proper well abandonment prevents contamination. Methods include blast perforating and sealing to protect water sources.

Well Capacity and Water Quality Testing

Well capacity and water quality testing determine flow rates, water levels, and safety for domestic, irrigation, and municipal wells.

Well videos and well rehabilitation

Well videos diagnose issues like casing splits or reduced flow. Rehabilitation methods include brushing, swabbing, hydro-jetting, and chemical treatments.
