Passive water system keeps failing! The cows need your help!
What happens here
The creator prepares for troubleshooting by showcasing equipment. A John Deere 1100 generator will provide power. A submersible/sump pump, acquired from Amazon, is set up with a garden hose and a T-valve for easy connection to the poly pipe. This pump will be used to forcibly prime the system, eliminating the need for manual suction. Additionally, a new roll of 150-foot, 3/4-inch poly pipe is on hand for replacing any damaged sections. For areas where the pipe might be crossed by vehicles, heavy-duty interlocking yellow and black cable hose protectors, sourced from Palletforks.com, are introduced. These protectors are designed to house cables and hoses, preventing damage and maintaining integrity even under heavy loads. The immediate plan is to locate and replace any squashed sections of the pipe, then re-prime the system.
Goal: Prepare equipment for troubleshooting and formulate a plan to address pipe damage
