This shallow well point is the driven-pipe drive point for water tables within 20 feet of the surface — the most common scenario for hand-driven home wells in rural and homestead settings. The 1-1/4 inch diameter pipe drives directly into the ground, with the point’s filter mesh acting as the water intake that draws clean water into the pipe.
Rugged ductile iron point is attached straight to the body (unlike cheaper competitors that taper or bend during driving) — this resists wandering as the point is driven, keeping the well pipe straight and vertical. The stainless steel jacket is four times stronger than common brass alternatives, surviving years of soil and water contact without corroding or weakening. The #60 filter mesh keeps out dirt particles as small as 0.01 inch while still allowing high water flow.
At 41 inches long and 9 lb, the well point provides enough length to drive past surface debris and reach the water table cleanly. Use with a cistern pump and 1-1/4 inch pipe — the driven pipe acts as both the well casing and the drop pipe for the pump system. For rural homesteads, off-grid water systems, and emergency well-installation projects, this is the right kind of equipment. Pair with the matching couplings and pump hardware.
