We bought a tank that can be put underground, that way it doesn't freeze in the winter. I'm in a part of the country that at times doesn't have much water. So I really needed something to have some extra water for the winter. The underground tanks cost more. Have you figured out a way to keep your tanks full during the winter time without freezing?
Don't you afraid of chemtrails sprayed from the jets.
Is this solely for irrigation system or you will be drinking out of it?
Have you thought about putting in an artisan well / hand pump?
Not sure how the water level is in your area. Shallow wells work good here, between 5 and 20 feet gives good amounts of water. (I'll be doing an artisan well myself in the future, just low on the priority list.)
Is this the well thats going solar?
Eric, good morning. I believe you will need a 1 way flow valve right before the inlet of the pump. And you should install a P trap on the overflow to keep critters out and use a larger mesh as it may clog too frequently.
Unions are your friend. Found out the hard way.
I maybe wrong but I think you just hooked your incoming water pipe to the the outlet side of the pump. I have a similar pump from Amazon. Mine is configured inlet at the end outlet at the top. I am building a similar system. I buried the tanks 2’ in the ground so as they won’t freeze the lines. I am also using Polly line I may suggest two hose clamps at each connectors. I have seen them fail and seep water.
Good video… Pump is bolted direct to the concrete without a 'rubber-shock/vibration-absorber'???
Great video Eric,
Thanks
Adding the upright for priming us a great idea. Hope you got some rain today to sttart filling it.. We got a little out my way. I have 8 275 gallon food grade IBC tites for my system. Wish I could afford the large tanks as you have. Still haven't got it installed yet. Hopefully I'll be able to get a lot done this off season. I do lawncare.. Another great video appreciate them……. Jeff
It is looking great! I'd like to set up some rain catchment for the garden as our well water is soooo high in iron. Getting some good pointers. Thanks for sharing with us! 🤠
