What happens here

Go to the main water source (the pond) and turn on the primary valve for the siphon system. Allow water to flow through the entire poly pipe line until it reaches the farthest end. Keep the valve at the farthest end open until all air bubbles have purged from the pipe, ensuring maximum water flow and pressure. Once the line is fully primed, turn off the valve at the farthest end. Then, proceed to each individual water trough and open its respective PVC shut-off valve. The float valve will automatically fill the trough to the set level and maintain it, ensuring a continuous, demand-based water supply for the livestock without manual intervention. The water will be ambient temperature, which is generally acceptable for livestock, especially when mixing in a large trough.

Goal: Once all poly pipe and float valves are installed, prime the entire system by allowing water to flow through and clear air bubbles, then activate individual water troughs.

line by the way the plastic one is exactly the same okay just so you guys know and again we put this where we wouldn't bust a knuckle when we turn our water on and off and at the end of the video here in just a few seconds we're gonna finish up we're going to turn the water valve on to all these we'll show you how they work [Music] so we've got our pipe all the way down here we're gonna do the same thing we just did we're going to put our tea in kind of mark it with our finger take our pipe cutter and not cut our fingers off with it there we go little little twist off comes the scrap piece pick that up in a minute here is our tea we're gonna just press fit this again remember we're gonna press fit it I'm actually gonna drop just encase this for fun here I'm gonna drop a clamp on here in case it starts to leak right here I'll already have the clamp in place in case it starts to leak so we're gonna press this one down again our tank is right down here a valve in our tank nice and snug now if a cow can tear it up a cow will tear it up here's where we go from here so toss those zip ties over there so we're are line is all the way here from the pond way way up there and the line is going to continue down the fence line here I'm just going to go and I'm gonna put the line out there and on the end of it I'm gonna put a valve and I'll turn that valve on until I see water after I basically energize this whole system so I'll turn it on down there once I see water at the end I'll shut it off and I know what our pipe is totally full of water and then I'll turn on our tanks and the cows are kind of chomping at the bit a minute ago they were trying to get water like they hadn't had water in like three days they were all down here drinking just a minute ago so let's go out to the end I'll see you in just a second when we turn the water on from the pond all the way down this hill this is 300 feet almost 400 feet we're gonna turn on our main valve we're gonna go to the end and wait till we get water all the way down here at the end this is probably going to be a total of I'm gonna say 1,500 feet when we're all done with this so 15 runs each roll of 100 foot 3/4 inch pipe cost 23 bucks not too bad now we will go ahead and bury this line at some point and on this side of the farm at some point you guys stick around on the channel will probably be drilling an agricultural well over here we'll talk about the difference in an Ag well versus a well for your house so let's go…
