best value water tanks??
FarmI wrote:
snip We have 2 tanks on the other farm (both concrete) - they gravity feed the house and garden there. When the header tank runs low we use a fire fighting pump to move water from the tank on the house up to the header tank on the hill. At this farm we have 3 concrete water tanks solely for house water. In addition, for the garden and very occassional stock use, I have one concrete tank and the plastic tank. These are supplied with water from a dam and a bore. 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. Interesting thread, despite the arguing Dare I ask about pros and cons of the various brands of pressure pumps commonly available? Are they all more-or-less the same or do some stand out as better (price ranges being similar). More importantly - any to stay away from? Cheers |
