Subject: Installing a liquid feed set up questions


Kingdom of Callaway - Fulton, Mo 65251

I am installing a tank and pump to use liquid feed.  I'm deciding where to put the tank that makes the most sense to access electricity for the pump, easy access for the semi bringing the product, and the shortest distance from the tank to the TMR wagon.  I can set the tank 10 feet from my electric pole that already has a breaker box on it, but then the discharge point for the product is 50 feet away.  The electric pole area is also easy to access with a semi trailer.

So it comes down to a decision of am I better off having a longer run of buried electric wire, or a longer run of buried hose running to the discharge point?  

Also, is there a limit to the length of hose you can have after the pump?  Having the discharge so far away from the pump will also require I have a remote off-on switch so I can watch the scale on the mixer to know when it is full.

Is there any issue with keeping the line from freezing?

Anything else I should keep in mind?
