neighbor put one--at least similar --in this summer.
said less than 1500$ but he had the tank and other stuff
sposed to be 5 gpm, and it was, midday. about a gal, just before sundown
about 20' lift.
an 8' round tank, so maybe 700? gals.
It kept up with 50 pr, maybe got down to 1/3 full------I had concerns about everybody wanting to drink at once but it worked fine.
I do know nrcs likes to see 2 days worth of water in the tanks.
I had 50 pr in there, very hot and dry. I know they will drink over over 20 gal a pr ---field over the hill, I got 1,000 gal 10' tank in, pumped manually, 40 pr drank it dry every day.
I've got a well I dug with excavator out south. water will be from almost surface to 14' with extended pumping. I'm thinking a 12 volt battery, a 12 volt panel and a boat type bilge pump. seems like 12 volt pumps I've found are either hi dollar submersible or low lift boat type.
I'm thinking if I set it so it keeps tank almost full and cyles fairly often, maybe static level will stay fairly hi and boat type will work. Gonna play with a bit, got spring over the hill so altho it's remote--12 miles----not a wreck if something goes wrong---and I've got about 60 gal of tank capacity per pr out there----on the well, been pumping it with 2" Honda, as needed. Anybody try anything similar? tia. | |
