Allan, Bill, To dryice a well........
This is done on older wells that are weak or seem to not be producing the water that they use to. Discalmer...Do not do this to a Slimhole well, on one that isn't cased plum to the bottom. First make sure the caseing isn't the problem by ...1st a down hole camara to visiualy inspect the caseing. If needed the caseing can be brushed. Our well guy had a smaller caseing with flared cable ends pulled through it. Simular to a smaller version,like a round hair brush or roung toilet bowl brush.
He runs it up and down to get rid of scale,rust, and such.This opens up the old openings that may have correded shut. Now,Need a 3ftx3ft of 1/2 plate steel,
get about 200 lbs of dryice, get the paper off it.
Make sure well platform is clear of all obsticles.
IN A HURRY now! 1 Throw the ice into the well
2 Get plate over the hole
3 Back a tractors rear tire on
plate that is over the hole.
Leave it all alone for 24 hours.
If the hole isn't covered the ice can and will shoot out like Old Faithful.
The theory is the dryice will freeze the water bearing layers, At the caseing , causeing more fishers, thus to improve the amount of water the well produces.
There is a down side risk,too. In some instances it could lower the amt of water it produces also.
Again I saw it done a few times, Knew of many more that were done. Large margatity improved quite a bit.
Hope this helps
John A.

I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
