We have 3 pressure pumps and a fire fighting pump. We've never had a
problem with the fire fighting pump but have had to replace all three
pressure pumps. We've lost 2 full tanks of house water (that I can
recall)
and lost so many tanks of gardening water that I wouldn't be able to give
even a rough guesstimate of the number. Reasons include: cow eating poly
pipe, cow eating tank fitting, stock trough failure due to cow eating
fitting, stock trough failure due to stock trough fitting failure, pump
failure, multiple and differing human failures.

Shit happens.

I certainly hope it did, with little bits of poly fittings in. Or do cows
not
survive eating plastic bits?

We haven't lost one yet to poly pipe but I know of producers who have had
thier animals die from eating the stuff. The sodding things just love it
for some reason. They also like to chew bones too.
