FL Well Driller cheat sheet
FL Well Driller · Keep the key ideas within reach.
Florida licensing, permits and accountable records
Distinguish contractor licensing from well and water-use permissions.
Use Florida statutes, statewide rules and actual district conditions.
A definition of construction is not the entire scope of pump-and-tank authorization.
Record work and resolve noncompliance before proceeding.
Drilling, casing, screens and sanitary barriers
Select methods from the actual formation and approved design.
Know circulation paths, fluid functions and loss-of-return concerns.
Casing, filter packs and seals have different functions.
Use actual product ratings and verified placement methods.
Florida aquifers and interpretable well performance
Distinguish pore space, transmission and storage.
Aquifer names do not guarantee fresh water at every depth.
Record water levels with a consistent datum and pumping conditions.
Interpret test performance without claiming unlimited sustainable yield.
Pump selection, system head and controlled troubleshooting
Size from flow and system head, not hole depth alone.
Use actual curves, cooling requirements and operating limits.
Distinguish nominal tank volume from usable drawdown.
Investigate cycling and electrical faults with isolation and qualified procedures.
Safe rig operations, water quality and professional decisions
Assess site support, lifting, rotating and pressurized equipment hazards.
Isolate and verify all relevant energy before maintenance.
Never rely on smell to clear a possible gas or confined-space hazard.
Use proper sampling and approved site-specific treatment, not generic recipes.
