could this be used to drive the point and pipe for a shallow well (&lt;25 ft) ?

That's a good question, I never intended to use it that way. It would probably depend on the type of ground you want to drive the point and pipe into. I really wouldn't know for sure, but it sure makes fast work of breaking up concrete. For the price, you could give it a try and wouldn't be out much money if it didn't work but the motor is very strong, give it a try! ;&gt;)

in theory yes. But it would probably have to be about the same size at the output shaft. So no.

Yes, but it would be slow: perhaps up to 1 inch per second. Be careful to avoid large lateral loads on the output shaft. I wouldn't hang a 10 pound weight cantilevered on a direct mounted spool, for instance.

It would work. But I think u should go to 500 gph or higher. These pumps were made to pump short distances

It would 'work' but not optimally. A better choice for that type of wor would be a hammer drill.

It is used to drive into the ground for a shallow well. My husband screwed it to a piece of galvanized pipe and pounded it with a heavy object until he hit water and then hooked it to a shallow well pump.

That will work... But, keep in mind, water is also the cooling medium for the pump. Also, the pressure coming out isnt as strong. For a drill, you would probably need something with a higher output.

Yes, as long as its not pumping up hill. This is a powerful pump but keep in mind distance and angle will make a difference. If its flat or downhill you are good to go. How long of a distance is the street from the middle of your house?

Why not? As long as it's not to far and go easy on the elbows. Use solid pipe and check with your inspector.

I don't think it's that powerful....not enough to reach high places if you're spraying siding on your house, etc. We used it to spray deck cleaner on our deck and porch railings...worked great for that. You would most likely need a pressure washer to reach 25 ft...just a guess. Hope this helps!

This is for inground pools and they do not have 30ft pole. So answer is no.

I think you can. It's a very simple design with one solenoid valve. Be sure that whatever you use isn't the type that would clog up small tubing. Liquid fertilizer would be by far the best. To be sure, check wit the manufacturer.

The pump isn't that fast as you would just using a wetting can. And as long as the distance is below the maximum head there should be no problem.

I managed to dig 30 inches down with this in unmodified form. I have read of people using this post hold auger to dig 20ft deep wells by extending the handle. So it is possible to get 6 feet deep, but not without some DIY modifications.

I wouldn't recommend this for a height over about 12-15 feet. The pipe would get unweildy and heavy. Also the outlet shoots air to the side which produces a sideways force(torque) on the pipe that you must manually counter. With twice the height, you get twice the weight and twice the torque. It will tire you out quickly.

It can be done, but you would have to mount the pump on its side. Putting a PVC elbow on the return would be better, unless that's not feasible.
