Well Sand/Gravel Extractor

thingiverse

I crafted this tool to extract sand and gravel from the bottom of my well. It fits snugly around 1.25-inch PVC pipes. My well casing is 10 inches in diameter, while this device measures roughly 7 inches across. After using it, I discovered a large rock or object at the bottom of my well that needed removal before I could utilize this equipment effectively. I can confirm that this tool works remarkably well. A 2-foot long 2x4 piece had accumulated at the bottom of my well during its construction. To overcome this challenge, I designed a lightweight ring that attaches to my 1.25-inch PVC pipe and allows for camera attachment. A GoPro was used in conjunction with this device. You can find the design for the light ring among my Thingiverse creations.
