Q1: Planning on option 1, however a concern is that pipe friction generates enough resistance that the bladder tank fill to cut-out pressure before the storage tank is full causing extra stops/starts of the pump.
Q2/Q3: Correct. Storage tank is to be fed by well pump. Not shown on the drawing...
Closed system. I'm intending on using a float valve. It's difficult to know peak demand exactly since I'm thinking of future herd size and thinking of the hottest days in July/August. I would say 200 gallons over 15 minutes would be about right though. Also, as I mentioned above, I would like to...
The idea is to have a short stock tank that young calves can drink from. These shorter stock tanks only hold 50 gallons or so. Cows on pasture will all come to get water at once, and they'll drink a lot. So I'll need a storage tank in the back of the farm that can rapidly fill the stock tank...
I think divorcing this system from the rest of the farm would be pretty complex, and batch filling may take hours.
My well pump supplies the house and farm. If I tried to use a low/high switch on the storage tank and not rely on the bladder tank & pressure switch, then I'd need complex controls...
Hmm. Shouldn't the well tank sufficiently reduce the starts/stops? I have a submerged jet well pump, 3/4 HP (need to confirm). Beyond that information I'm not sure how I could find a pump curve for my pump. The previous owner of the property didn't keep (or share) any records related to the well...
Unfortunately I do not have a pump curve for my well pump. I was planning on leaving the water supply open to the storage tank all the time and regulating flow with a float valve on the storage tank. The stock tank would also be on a float valve. Based on how long it takes to fill the 325 gallon...
Hi everyone. I'm PV engineer for carbon steel vessels by day and a farmer/rancher by night. I need to run a water line to provide water to my cows during the warm months. Currently I am using a 325 gal (US) tank in the back of a pick up truck to carry water, and I'm tired of doing it this way...
I have a batch of partially used pickling acid (sulfuric acid) which mistakenly had some flux introduced into it.
The ferrous concentration is about 4% currently.
The flux is a mixture of ammonium chloride, potassium chloride, zinc chloride, and sodium chloride.
Is there a process to remove via...
