Well vaccum

[Jamouk]

Anyone know of an industrial vaccum that is capable of clearing out a well bits of debris and rubble etc

How deep is the well bottom? Now would be a good time to get down there if practical and safe as water table at its lowest.

Have you considred starting investigations with fishing to see what 'goodies' you might land?

One day I'll get to desend to the bottom of my 75ft well and extract whatever I'm able to grab!

Don't know till I clear it out ! Sometimes u can see water other times dry but now its filled to only about a foot and a half from the top !

Was considering an ice auger ?

I've seen vacuum excavators with big long hoses if you are prepared to throw money at hiring one. A vacuum slurry tanker might be another option if you know anyone with one.

Put on the light I suspended in mine recently after dark and then got out the 8X56 Zeiss Night Owles. Was fascinated by the critters swimming around in the crystal-clear chalk encapsulated water!

There is however some historic debris I'd like to clear which no doubt includes timbers used in the original mode of water extraction:

Trash pump on Machine Mart - £454.80 will suck up to 28mm particles. I am sure that there are better ones....just had a further look and some take up to 35mm
