Thanks JedClampett and bimr.
bimr; what would be the methods for maintaining system pressure while the tank is drained? This is a very small system and its only reservoir.
On a 300,000 gal. steel 100ft tall tank with the inside coating actually coming loose is there any way of repairing this without draining the tank? Thanks in advance....
I have recently come into taking care of a simple two pond system. It relies on evaporation for its discharge. My problem is both ponds are @80% covered with duck weed. I know I can mechanically rake it or use a herbicide. But does anyone know more options? Any possible drawbacks to any of the...
well.........ok, how about another question. Can anyone tell me just what kind of professional or engineer I would be looking for to do this kind of study?
Would any of the engineers on here happen to know (ball park figure)what it would cost to do a operation type study on a 2 lagoon system? Small municipal facultive, 1.5 acre primary pond, @3 acre storage pond. What I need is some type of study that would basically confirm what I may and may not...
Is there any simple way to decrease the amount of sludge in a small lagoon/pond. I've had folks tell me fish and different types of enzymes. Does anyone have any opinion?
Could Dicksewerrat or anyone else ellaborate on the old phone gizmo? Or any other tricks/ways of detecting leaks without the fancy techno machines. My small municipality can't afford the new stuff every time.
Just curious if anyone has any advise for someone that will be tapping his first small water main in the near future?
First one will be a 4 in. pvc with a 1 in. service line. Everyone has to start somewhere, right?
Basically 7.5 hp pump 260ft well. 3600 gph. That is my question, I'm probably not going to use the pump to capacity at all. If I restrict flow to much will it harm the pump? Since I have no reservoir or tank for the excess to go.
I have a 7.5hp submerged pump (well) gong into a pumphouse and not connected or used. Just a capped pipe. My question is this; can I use this well to water (irrigate) a surrounding 2 acre area. Has no reservoir, bladder tank nothing. Will I ruin the pump if I just run it and water the area?
Sounds like reliability may not be a issue. This would be supposedly a low wattage setup. Site survey should be done in a few days. One of the systems that has been mentioned is from Banner. Thanks everyone for the opinions and info.
It has a 12 pair direct burial cable that has seen better days. I've been told its alot cheaper to go wireless than to replace the buried cable. And it actually is broken. Every time I splice wires it basically takes about a week for another break to occur. This is a very small town that does...
I posted this question under water distribution and have not got a response yet, so I'll try it here. I would like some information on reliability and ease of use for a wireless pump control between a water tank and pumphouse. The small municipal communication system now is hardwired...
Definitely the new guy here. Have a water reservoir with pumphouse close to 1/2 mile away, (pretty much line of sight). Right now has a 12 pair direct buried cable communication line for controls. Has been suggested to move to a wireless system, because buried cable has seen better days. How...
