Thanks!

Fantastic!

Did you even read the description of what I was drilling through and what size bit?

Concrete product manufacturer.

Your welcome

Thanks

Labels are still on and look good. these are heavy duty vinyl labels.

It's all gravity fed down the mountain to the house

@@eric91780 how much water pressure and output flow would come out of a 5k gallon tank if the tank is on the same level as the house but just elevated by a 6ft water tank stand. Do you think He’s 6 foot Water stand would be substantially more pressure and flow Or you would recommend a booster pump? Thank you

@@MaddoxVicRealtor The relationship between PSI and feet of head is that 2.31 feet of head / distance above source of water outlet = 1 PSI. So if you have a water tank that is 10 ft tall and it is completely full of water up the top of the tank it will only have 4.3 psi at the bottom of the water tank at the outlet. The volume of water has nothing to do with the amount of pressure it makes. It's all about elevation / height / head of the water in relation to where the outlet is. You can have a 10-ft round by 10 ft tall water tank or a 1-in pipe that is 10 ft tall and they will both have the same pressure at the bottom. I know it's hard to believe that all the extra volume of water wouldn't create more pressure but it doesn't work that way. It does great more weight of pressure that the surface that that water tank sits on though.

@@MaddoxVicRealtor so let's just say you wanted to have 50 psi at your house then your water tank would have to be approximately 115 feet above your house.

@@eric91780 hello thank you So based off your information, If the home is positioned at the highest point of the land lot, then - unless we are willing to put the tank on a very tall stand - the only way to get any decent pressure is to do a booster pump? Is this correct? (Because the house and lot would be relatively the same height on the land. (Plus or minus about 10 feet)

The pipe from the well to the water tank is bi-directional. The water comes up when being pumped and hits a check valve at the bottom which then forces the water to go up in through the top of the tank. Then when water is coming out of the tank the check valve opens and allows the water the pass through and out.

I just bought a regular well seal with three holes and added two more with a hole saw.

Thank you👍

I got the schedule 80 PVC from a local plumbing supply. You won't be able to find this at home Depot or Lowe's. The pipes are 2 inch. I drove the strut approximately 24 in into the ground with a post driver

That's awesome. I'm glad this is helped so many people out of a major expense.

The developer company that sold the home. It was a design failure on the utility company engineer. You should not have a pole box uphill from a service panel. Otherwise under heavy rains or heavy irrigation the pull box fills up with water and then flows down into the panel.

You can install foam insulation. It does not get that cold here for us.

I'm getting ready to convert the other pump to solar now as well. RPS solar has conversion kits that can take a conventional 120 or 240 volt well pump and make it into a soft start solar pump. Their controller will allow you to run the well pump on regular AC voltage as well so you will not lose out on any options for AC or DC voltage with their setup.

I have a 1/4 thick sheet of polycarbonate.

@@eric91780 Thanks for the reply, good to know! Am thinking of using that mulcher on a similar machine for pine trees in the 4-10" Diameter range. Do you think this type of setup would get the job done?

@@oriordansproductions6802 Hard to say from my experience because I have no pine to test that out. It does handle the hard stuff I'm working on up to 6" but it can get a little slow because it loses power and you have to let it get spun up to a high rpm to go back in and shred some more.

@@eric91780 Good info, thanks for sharing! Happy with the RUT unit? I found your vid searching for information on RUT Mfg.

The water flows in and out from that pipe. The system operates wireless from a sensor in the tank. When the water levels drops to a set level then the well pump turns on and fills the tank.

@@eric91780 So when there is a call for water and it is being drawn down in the tank and the pump kicks in doesn't that mean that the water is being fed by the pump? If that's the case, why the need for a tank? It seems like you might as well be pulling water right out of the well, or spring, or wherever it comes from. Is the refresh rate too low or something like that?

Haha I was thinking the same thing

No. This is a gravity fed system. The well pumps the water up to the water tanks and gravity provides pressure back down .

How do you like it?

It does what I need it to do. No regrets. I like it for around the homestead and I’ve done several jobs away from home with it. A drum mulcher probably does a better/finer job but it’s all in expectation and price. Drum mulcher is 3x cost.

@@AllstarVentures Nice. Thats what I was thinking.

Yes. Central Coast.
