Roy and Skip also realize that you may be interested in their rigs even if you don't plan to become a professional driller. In fact, the two men recently developed the small EXPLORER 200 (which costs less money than many people would likely have to pay someone else to drill a well) just to suit folks who want to bore only one or two water holes for themselves or their neighbors.

RELATED CONTENT

Both fellows are primarily interested, though, in setting things straight-in a profession that they think often overcharges its customers-by helping individuals get into fulltime well work. So if you're interested in becoming a well borer, check out your local market, then write off to Piper Hydro and consider spending a few days in the of "Land of Enchantment". After all, no home business idea is right for everyone . . . but, folks, this one is bound to suit some of MOTHER's readers mighty well!

EDITOR'S NOTE: For more information on Piper Hydro's water well drilling equipment, send $3.50 (refundable with purchase) to Piper Hydro Drilling, Dept. TMEN, P.O. Box 237, Alamogordo, New Mexico 88310.

    How deep does this machine drill? Does it need special accessories to get the water or would I be able to purchase
    equipment from other sources to make water wells. Do I have to purchase special accessories from your company each time I use this machine to drill?

    BE AWARE; Most all states require you to have a Drillers License
    for that state. To obtain a Drillers License you have to pay a fee,
    have two to five years drilling experience, pass the state drillers
    examination and in some states you have to be referred in writing
    by a licensed driller in that state. Buying drilling equipment and
    learning to drill is easy compared to becoming licensed to drill
    your own well or drill for others. Master Ground Water Certified

    The same question ¿Can the machines drill through rock? Do you
    have an internet page? Thanks
    Mother Responds: This is an article from our magazine from 1980.
    We have no additional information on this drilling rig.

    Can your 2000 and 3000 systems drill through rock? If so, how do
    they accomplish that? Thanks
