How to Surge a Well: A Step-by-Step Guide

Writer's picture: David BennettDavid Bennett

Surging a well is an important process in maintaining the performance of boreholes and wells. This process involves the use of water to remove any blockages or buildup of deposits within the well. Surging can also help to prevent the growth of bacteria and improve the quality of the water. In this blog post, we will provide a step-by-step guide on how to surge a well.


Step 1: Prepare the Equipment

Before you begin the surging process, you will need to gather the necessary equipment. This includes a surge block, which is a rubber block that is placed over the wellhead to prevent the water from flowing back up the well. You will also need a surge cable, which is a long, flexible hose that is used to deliver water to the bottom of the well. Additionally, you will need a water source, such as a garden hose, to provide the water for the surging process.


Step 2: Lower the Surge Cable

Next, lower the surge cable into the well until it reaches the bottom. As you lower the cable, make sure that it is not kinked or twisted. The cable should be long enough to reach the bottom of the well.


Step 3: Attach the Surge Block

Once the surge cable is in place, attach the surge block to the wellhead. The block should fit snugly over the wellhead to prevent any water from flowing back up the well.


Step 4: Begin Surging the Well

Now it is time to begin surging the well. Turn on the water source and allow the water to flow through the surge cable and into the well. The water will push any buildup of deposits or blockages out of the well and up to the surface.


Step 5: Repeat the Process

Repeat the surging process several times to ensure that all blockages and deposits have been removed from the well. You can tell when the well has been completely surged when the water flowing out of the well is clear and free of any debris.


Step 6: Remove the Surge Block

Once the surging process is complete, remove the surge block from the wellhead. This will allow any remaining water and debris to flow out of the well.

In conclusion, surging a well is an important process in maintaining the performance of boreholes and wells. By following these simple steps, you can ensure that your well is free of any blockages or buildup of deposits, and that the water is of the highest quality.
