When choosing a compressor for the waterwell sector, your decision should primarily hinge on the maximum drilling depth needed and the diameter of the drilling hole. It's essential to ensure that the chosen compressor meets the requirements for your specific drilling project.

Chicago Pneumatic provides a variety of waterwell drilling compressors tailored to different drilling depths and bore diameters.
The specifications provided below detail the requirements for the most commonly used Down the Hole (DTH) hammers available at WORD Rock Drills. Each hammer generally requires a minimum pressure of 150 PSI for optimal performance. By increasing the CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) along with the corresponding PSI, you can significantly enhance the capacity of your hammer, thus improving your drilling efficiency.
*Refer to the chart specifically for DK hammers acquired through WORD Rock Drills. Please verify the PSI and CFM requirements relating to your hammer make and model before proceeding with the purchase or rental of a compressor.

The size of the compressor plays a critical role in the performance of your Down The Hole hammer. Achieving a balance between compressor efficiency and size is pivotal and often depends on project priorities. If speed and time are your main concerns, investing in a more robust compressor may be necessary, though it can lead to higher operational costs. Conversely, for budget-conscious projects, smaller compressors are less costly to rent or purchase and consume less fuel. Consequently, running the minimum sized compressor for your hammer may result in significant cost savings. Notably, increasing the size of the compressor to the higher end of the PSI range can yield up to a 40% increase in drilling capacity.
When selecting a compressor for your hammer, the altitude of your project site is a critical factor. At higher altitudes, where the air is thinner, a compressor's productivity and capacity can be affected, potentially leading to a decrease in the performance of your Down The Hole hammer. To avoid operational issues, it is recommended to check the compressor specifications for performance at altitudes beyond 8,000 feet. The specs should indicate functioning PSI across different elevations, allowing you to assess if it meets the requirements for your hammer.
Many customers opt to rent compressors due to their cost, maintenance, and transportation challenges, making rental a more pragmatic choice. However, this can complicate decisions regarding which compressor to acquire for each job and their availability. Ultimately, your primary consideration should focus on the PSI output alongside the specifications of your hammer.
