Drill2Water, LLC has sold millions of dollars of our new water drilling rigs to the African market.
Our water drilling rigs and support equipment can be used in most situations requiring mud, or air
drilling, in the most difficult conditions to depths required for individuals, businesses, or for whole
village water needs.
Whether for an individual, business, missionary work, NGO, USAID, UNICEF, or other governmental entity,
the information below is meant to assist in your water well drilling rigs, borehole drilling rig equipment,
and water drill rigs research.
Drill2water, LLC Model Water-84 water well borehole drilling rig is equipped or optionally equipped with:
1. Diesel engine(s)
2. 14,000 lb rated trailer with electric brakes on both axles and hydraulic leveling jacks.
3. Trailer uses 12" I-beam carriers for years of dependable service under extreme conditions.
4. Optional Hydraulic mast tower extension to allow installation of 20 foot or 6 meter length casing.
5. Optional Hydraulic powered casing winch rated at 2,000 lbs at 130 feet per minute.
6. 2x3 variable speed hydraulic motor powered centrifugal mud pump.
7. Optional Twin cylinder piston pump capable of 625 psi for deep bores or pumping grout.
8. Feathering hydraulic speed control for tough formations.
9. Hands free drilling! Set you rotation speed and downward speed then let the rig drill for you.
10. Optional Forced air cooled hydraulic oil cooler for continuous duty in severe heat environments.
11. Optional Swing away drill head to allow line of sight to borehole for casing installation.
12. Hammer drill in formations as hard as quartzite with our top of the line down hole hammer packages.
13. Optional Hydraulic actuated wrenchless pipe breakout. No pipe wrenches required.
14. Removable pipe holding plate for easy access to the borehole.
15. Solid and hollow auger capable.
16. Variable speed chain drive for superior control and safety. Only cable used is for the optional winch.
17. Hydraulic mast raise and lower cylinder.
18. Twin hydraulic pumps assuring you can add future items if needed such as grouting equipment.
19. more items for your drilling needs that are to numerous to mention..............
What to consider with your drilling rig purchase!
- You should know or ascertain the maximum water well drilling rig drilling depth, maximum borehole diameter, and
what type material (sand, granite, clay, etc.) you must drill through.
- After gathering the information in "1" above determine which drilling rig model matches your drilling specifications.
Be careful of what you read on the Internet because some websites provide maximum theoretical drilling depths and
maximum borehole sizes that could realistically only be reached on a perfect day with all the planets in alignment.
You will need to use some common-sense to determine if the stated water well drilling rig drilling capabilities are
reasonable under every day drilling conditions.
- Our well equipped water well borehole granite or rockbuster drilling rig will have the ability to operate with drilling
mud and/or air using an assortment of drill bits or a down hole hammer, have the ability to immediately apply at least
2500 pounds of downward pressure on down hole hammer bits and even more downward pressure for tricone roller
bits, incorporate a high pressure water injector with foam injection, and employ a down hole hammer oil injector.
Hydraulic controls should allow very fine feathering of drill bit rotation speed, power-head travel speed, and allow for
hands free drilling.
- When diesel engines are used look for international brand names from Japan, USA, or Europe.
- The water well drilling rig must include, or have as an installation option, the ability to set 20 foot (6 meter) lengths of
well casing using a hydraulic powered, electric powered, or even a hand operated winch line. If you drill the well but
do not case it immediately you take the chance in the hole caving in.
- Future service and parts. This component of your rig purchase is important because one day when a part fails either
you will be provided with rapid service and shipment of the replacement part or you rig will be worthless because
without replacement parts the rig will not be operational.
- In the end the decision to purchase a water well borehole drilling rig is yours and not being sweet talked by your new
"best friend" salesperson into hastily purchasing a water borehole drilling rig that does not meet your needs could be
one of the best things for you.
- When you understand the meaning of 2 through 7 above you are most likely ready to purchase your water drilling rig
from us or another manufacturer. If you do not understand any one of the above then it may be best to spend a bit
more time learning.
Drill2Water, LLC has received thousands of phone calls and e-mails concerning portable water well drilling rigs destined to
Africa (especially from Nigeria, Kenya, and Ghana). The vast majority of inquires are for water borehole drilling rigs that
may encounter hard rock, borehole drilling depths from 20 meters to 200 meters plus, and varying water borehole diameter
sizes. The one common thread among all inquires is the rig price. There is a saying 'you get what you pay for' and the
uninformed may end up purchasing the least expensive water well borehole drilling rig they find on the Internet then later
find out after spending a lot of money for the rig and for shipping costs they do not work for very long or at all in hard rock
and they will not drill deep. The most common explanation we hear is "I will start with an inexpensive water well borehole
drilling rig then move up to a big water well drilling rig with the money I make." In the end that line of reasoning typically
means more broken dreams then successful wells completed.
At the Africa Maps link you will find geologic maps for every country in Africa. Choose the country the water bore hole
equipment is destined for and then determine by the maps legend what the formation(s) are that you must drill through. If
granite is indicated in the area you wish to drill in you will need to use a DTH (down hole hammer) which requires a very
large air compressor, a pneumatic oiler and/or high pressure water/foam injector for the hammer, and very good quality drill
steel. Combination mud/air hammer water drilling rigs, depending on the drilling depth, borehole size, and the size air
compressor used can easily cost over $100,000.00 /USD.

Some of the maps at the link below are very large..... You are encouraged to take the time to locate your area of concern and
then you will be able to determine the appropriate water well drilling rig that can do the job. If you cannot determine the
material to be drilled through contact an experienced geologist or well driller in the location of interest.
