    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....

    Duckweed question?

    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...

    Odd pump question?

    wireless water pump controls?

    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...
