Off Grid Water System

 It may be a while before we can get

a new well dug for Kyle's side of the property.

But we have a perfectly adequate well.

Just need a way to get the water to him.

Enter Buffaloe ingenuity.

First he built himself a trailer.

Welded it all together while I was teaching

Friday evening.

Got it all painted as well.

Then they looked for an IBC tote.

Found one about an hour+ north of us.

The same place Jim got his.

They called and asked if they could drive up

and get one. The people said they were there

now but leaving in an hour to run down to Malabar.

HA!

So they delivered it right to him!

And he got right to work.

There was only one part he couldn't pick up at Northern Tool.

So he had to wait for it to arrive from Amazon.

There is room on the front for his generator.

He and Jim did some brainstorming and came up

with a great design! Instead of ball valves and clamps

and hoses here and there and everywhere,

they did a simple Y splitter.

The right hand rigid hose goes into the stock tank

and the pump sucks water out and then the green hose

goes up and fills the tote.

Then when he get to his house or the garden

(wherever he needs water) he flips the switches

and the left white rigid hose sucks water out

of the tote and the black hose goes where he needs water.

He hooked up our sprinkler and got better water

pressure than with it hooked to our house well!

It looks like it's going to be a perfect solution.

Well played Kyle!
