4 Low-Cost Ways to Install a Shallow Sand Point Well
To hammer in a shallow well, you can get by with an electric (non-pneumatic) jackhammer with at least 35 foot-pounds of impact energy and 1,000 blows per minute. To power the jackhammer, you can use a 115/120V AC/DC, 20 Amp outlet or, if working off-grid, a gas-powered generator with at least a 2,500-watt output.
