Very professional. And well done.
Cool video well done!
Thanks!
Just did this over the weeeknd and it did the trick thank you !!!
Fantastic!
GEFCO, all you need, would have been done with that rod already. 👍
Did you even read the description of what I was drilling through and what size bit?
Hermoso equipo
Where did you find the troughs?
Concrete product manufacturer.
It's very pretty where you are at. Which state are you in?
Looks like Central California.
Excellent video!...very thorough....thanks
Your welcome

Great choice on the pipe Bubba. Very nice work. 👍
Thanks
Can you just replace this from a junkyard part ? I notice the module is at the BOTTOM of the abs-assembly -- so, can you still remove/replace it without removing the entire abs-assembly ?
Like the labels. But, they did persist over the years?
Labels are still on and look good. these are heavy duty vinyl labels.
Can you provide me with more of these videos. Nice work
I am asking for my 86K mile 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo with the 4.0L I6 engine. You said that your ABS module went out. Did this cause any operational issues? How long did you continue to drive after the ABS light came on? I assumed you had no ABS function, but other than that were you able to drive and brake normally (as with a standard Non-ABS car)?
Do you need a booster pump from the tank to the house?
It's all gravity fed down the mountain to the house
@@eric91780 how much water pressure and output flow would come out of a 5k gallon tank if the tank is on the same level as the house but just elevated by a 6ft water tank stand. Do you think He’s 6 foot Water stand would be substantially more pressure and flow Or you would recommend a booster pump? Thank you
@@MaddoxVicRealtor The relationship between PSI and feet of head is that 2.31 feet of head / distance above source of water outlet = 1 PSI. So if you have a water tank that is 10 ft tall and it is completely full of water up the top of the tank it will only have 4.3 psi at the bottom of the water tank at the outlet. The volume of water has nothing to do with the amount of pressure it makes. It's all about elevation / height / head of the water in relation to where the outlet is. You can have a 10-ft round by 10 ft tall water tank or a 1-in pipe that is 10 ft tall and they will both have the same pressure at the bottom. I know it's hard to believe that all the extra volume of water wouldn't create more pressure but it doesn't work that way. It does great more weight of pressure that the surface that that water tank sits on though.
@@MaddoxVicRealtor so let's just say you wanted to have 50 psi at your house then your water tank would have to be approximately 115 feet above your house.
@@eric91780 hello thank you So based off your information, If the home is positioned at the highest point of the land lot, then - unless we are willing to put the tank on a very tall stand - the only way to get any decent pressure is to do a booster pump? Is this correct? (Because the house and lot would be relatively the same height on the land. (Plus or minus about 10 feet)
Where are you located?
Most impressive. Well thought out, well executed, and you described it well. The system looks nicely done, and the labels are super handy/professional-grade. Please forgive me if I missed it, but where does the water then come out when this tank is used to supply water? I saw a Tee between the tube from the ground (the inlet) and the tank with the "reserve" valving/tubing, I assume that's where the water will come out and feed to the lower-elevation tank you mentioned having. Is that correct? Again, very nicely done all the way around. I wish I did projects that were this nice.
The pipe from the well to the water tank is bi-directional. The water comes up when being pumped and hits a check valve at the bottom which then forces the water to go up in through the top of the tank. Then when water is coming out of the tank the check valve opens and allows the water the pass through and out.
How did you make the well seal?
I just bought a regular well seal with three holes and added two more with a hole saw.
Thank you👍
Where did you. get your schedule 80 from and is that 3 inch? How far did you put the strut in the ground? Thanks
I got the schedule 80 PVC from a local plumbing supply. You won't be able to find this at home Depot or Lowe's. The pipes are 2 inch. I drove the strut approximately 24 in into the ground with a post driver
Looks like your in Santa Barbara, CA
Another repair thanks to your video. I repaired a friends 2001 Grand Cherokee, the lower pin for the motor plug in, just like your board was the problem. I had to take a pic with my phone and enlarge it to clearly see the broken solder joint, thanks man!
That's awesome. I'm glad this is helped so many people out of a major expense.
who paid for the repair utility company or home owner
The developer company that sold the home. It was a design failure on the utility company engineer. You should not have a pole box uphill from a service panel. Otherwise under heavy rains or heavy irrigation the pull box fills up with water and then flows down into the panel.
Very good of you to post this. It basically shows everything you could ever want to see or know about a tank install. I appreciate it.
Do you have a part 3 to this video? Please
Great video! Can you refer me to the source of the "wireless float valve" system?

This is indeed the Most impressive water storage system I've seen so far !! How would you STOP it from freezing during COLD weather ??
You can install foam insulation. It does not get that cold here for us.
keep the videos coming!!
Definitely a nice set up the only thing that concerns me is you using brass fittings if this is potable drinking water. The reason BRASS is not used for fittings for drinking water is it can lead to high levels of the LEAD which does not leave your body, and just builds up overtime. Really nice set up though and only thing I would change is change those brass fittings to plastic or stainless steel.
Awesome. I am thinking of sticking 2 pumps in a 6 casing. I have a 400 watt solar pump and think the other one is a 110v pump.
I'm getting ready to convert the other pump to solar now as well. RPS solar has conversion kits that can take a conventional 120 or 240 volt well pump and make it into a soft start solar pump. Their controller will allow you to run the well pump on regular AC voltage as well so you will not lose out on any options for AC or DC voltage with their setup.
Thank you for shairing your knowledge. I have 2500 gallon tank for my horses and garden and this will really help
In your videos you use wireless float control devices, but I haven't seen any references to the parts list or vendors - Could you supply some info ??
Can't tell, is there a shield on the front of your cab?
I have a 1/4 thick sheet of polycarbonate.
@@eric91780 Thanks for the reply, good to know! Am thinking of using that mulcher on a similar machine for pine trees in the 4-10" Diameter range. Do you think this type of setup would get the job done?
@@oriordansproductions6802 Hard to say from my experience because I have no pine to test that out. It does handle the hard stuff I'm working on up to 6" but it can get a little slow because it loses power and you have to let it get spun up to a high rpm to go back in and shred some more.
@@eric91780 Good info, thanks for sharing! Happy with the RUT unit? I found your vid searching for information on RUT Mfg.
Hi,what type of solar pump are you using? Thks nice wk!
Hi Eric. Simon here. Been watching your good work here on the videos Wondering if you’re in the Bay Area ? I’m hoping to be able to contact you about doing our existing well & pump upgrade. I’m trying to either do it myself or get some help Maybe even I could pay you to help me either in person or virtually by directing my job.
sjireland@yahoo.com I’m up in Sebastopol California
how are you liking the mulcher so far
I have an 11,000 lb excavator, should I buy the 36” or 42” tree slayer, also is the up grade to the mulching teeth worth the money?
I am looking for about your products place lave me a message. When I post this , I am looking for more information no this . Everything you set up in this video on the lectronics for your pump and everything when it can pump water and what it can't one of their work on a spring to and how much did it run and want to more information on this appreciate keep updates on your videos I like to watch him take care of yourself and be safe out there for me coronavirus or whatever else you're doing
So is the water supposed to be used through that T that's on the pump side of the fill pipe? Does that mean the pump will activate whenever there's a call for water? I don't understand where the water exits from.
The water flows in and out from that pipe. The system operates wireless from a sensor in the tank. When the water levels drops to a set level then the well pump turns on and fills the tank.
@@eric91780 So when there is a call for water and it is being drawn down in the tank and the pump kicks in doesn't that mean that the water is being fed by the pump? If that's the case, why the need for a tank? It seems like you might as well be pulling water right out of the well, or spring, or wherever it comes from. Is the refresh rate too low or something like that?
that big solder can probably handle 100s of amps now
Haha I was thinking the same thing
Do you have a pressure tank on your system?
No. This is a gravity fed system. The well pumps the water up to the water tanks and gravity provides pressure back down .
Thank you for the useful video on the SmartWater pump controller. It has been over two years since you did this install -- would you still recommend SmartWater? I am on the fence, because it is kind of a hassle to convert this New Zealand product to US electrical usage: a 240VAC -> 12VDC power supply, a contactor with a 12VDC coil that runs 240VAC, possibly a fuse block, all the wiring, and THEN the SmartWater product itself. That's a lot of stuff that can and will eventually fail, but I have yet to find a US-made product that competes with the SmartWater featureset.
Have been waiting on mine for a few weeks now. Looks to be doing the job very well 👍🏼
How do you like it?
It does what I need it to do. No regrets. I like it for around the homestead and I’ve done several jobs away from home with it. A drum mulcher probably does a better/finer job but it’s all in expectation and price. Drum mulcher is 3x cost.
@@AllstarVentures Nice. Thats what I was thinking.
Does the mixer still work?
Nice running machine and attachment. How mays hours / days did it take to clear the 1,700 feet? Do you like the mulcher?
is this video in CA? The Oak trees, dry grass, and hills look like the foothils near where I live, anytime other than Jan-April (the only time its green).
Yes. Central Coast.
