Single Packer Hydro Fracture

    The single packer hydro fracture procedure is the most commonly used method when dealing with a domestic water well. Producing an average increase from 1/2 gpm (Gallon Per Minute) to 5 gpm. This method will satisfy most homeowners needs, and with a national success rate of over 95% it is by far the most economical and successful way to get water for your home.

    This process is normally completed twice in the average well. The first time the packer will be placed 20' below the casing with 60' being the minimal depth. The entire process is performed here and then the packer (Balloon) is lowered to depth below the initial fracture that was opened (usually within 100' of the first set) and the process is repeated effectively opening up two different fractures in the well. It normally takes 2 1/2 to 3 hours to be completed.

The single packer set is the most common method used. It is designed to be used in circumstances where a minimal improvement is needed. After a well has been drilled silt and deposits may start to build up in the water producing fractures causing a decrease in overall well yield.
	A packer is lowered down the well to pre-determined depth (Usually 20' below the casing or a minimum of 60' whichever is deeper), and water is injected into the well at  high rate of volume and pressure. This will remove the obstruction and open up the water producing fractures.
Now that the obstructions have been forced out of the water producing fractures, more water is able to flow into the well increasing the overall yield of the well.
