Well drive point best brand to get?

rodm1 · Apr 20, 2020

Hi everyone,

I'm in need of a new well point and would like to try one better then the hardware store models. I know construction company's use better ones that are made in the USA and all stainless just can't remember the name.

Several companies supply the drilling trades. One I am aware of is Johnson Screens Division of UOP. Makers of stainless steel wire wrapped well screens.

If it's a driven sand point and not a drop point in a jetted well. Then go with a Midwest point will take the abuse of hand driving better. Can get them in 40 to upto 120 gauge

Yes it's a driven well.

We use plastic points now and wash them in. If you have access to a trash pump with some hose, you could build the rest of the setup and buy the point for less than a good stainless point would probably cost. It takes less than 2 minutes to put one down 20 ft here and the plastic wont plug up with calcium and iron like the metal ones do. Mine has been in for 20 yrs, and my dad has some going on 30. If you'd like more info, send me an email.

There's been a few discussions here in the past about plastic vs steel points.

I thought the choice of well-point is supposed to be based on your soil conditions where the water-bearing area is. Not who makes the point. Different types of mesh available.

As far as quality goes instead of design - my trouble is usually smashing the pipe with drive caps that get mashed.
