Prime the Siphon Water System
At 4:32 in
I didn't expect this to happen again...
What happens here
Attach a DrillPump to a DeWalt cordless drill. The DrillPump is designed to pump fluids, and in this case, it will be used to create suction. Connect the output of the drill pump to the hose bib fitting on the 3/4-inch poly pipe water system, which is part of the siphon system that delivers water to the cows. Activate the DeWalt cordless drill, which powers the DrillPump, to draw out any accumulated air and water from the poly pipe. This action re-establishes the siphon's prime, allowing water to flow continuously down to the water tanks for the cows. Observe the water flow from the drill pump to ensure the system is fully primed and operating correctly.
Goal: Restore water flow in the siphon system by removing air
