Set up a Gravity-Fed Water Storage Tank

tank I told you it's cold and windy it's cold and it's windy you might have a little wind noise right now but this is a water tank this is a th gallon water tank from Northern Tool and Equipment it is partially buried in the ground the reason it's partially buried in the ground is that I had to set the bottom of this tank below the frost line the water comes from the well over there and is pumped to this water tank and then it falls via gravity to the rest of the farm you don't have to do this this is something that I thought would prolong the life of my well pump and would help me to have 1,000 gallons of backup water in case the cows wanted to drink at night which makes total sense to me there is one and A4 in poly pipe that comes from that well and goes right over to here and keeps that tank full with 1,000 gallons of water there's a valve in there that floats so when the water level goes down that valve falls down it's a sensor when the water level goes up that sensor goes up floats upright closes a circuit and keeps or excuse me opens the circuit and keeps the water tank from overfilling okay so this Falls to our water tanks I'm going to take you and show you the two different types of water tanks that we have on the farm freeze proofing your water system is super important and you want to make sure you get all of your water lines in place in the right place and deep enough
