Hey Ken, Thanks for the comments. Do you per chance have a camera you could take any pics of these systems? You could post them here and someday I would like...
Hey Tony, There are some that use timers to reduce the use of electricity but you have to ask yourself a couple questions though to get the whole picture. Are...
Greetings, I too have had many people telling me I should sell a manual of how I set up my system, when it is finished, but, since so much of the information...
Would plugging the pump that's on the timer into a variac prolong the life of the pump by conditioning the line voltage? electrically challenged, ernie.j From:...
I've been looking for a water driven valve that would automatically rotate the water flow between two different outlets, one back into the tank, one to the...
What gets the pumps is the windings getting hot on the initial startup. By lowering the voltage (which is what I expect you re talking about) will only increas...
Aloha,  Currently my 600gph bilge pump is run off of our wind generator. I do have a stop switch in-line so that the system can drain and then I have to...
I'm not going to hit you or anything like that. What you are talking about would be a mechanism that is basically a geared down water wheel to control the...
<ROFLH> You have SO nailed me. Adult ADD. <ROFL> I'm the tinker queen, so this might be fun. <grin> I can already envision how it could/would work. I'm...
The way I figure it - Many people probably want to do aquaponics, but don't necessarily have the time to do all the research ( not to mention all the effort...
Greetings, I run harbor freight submersible pumps on a timer, no problems, they don't get hot. In the oil field, the pumping service companies cycle their...
I was thinking a simple timer with a solenoid valve salvaged from a washing machine or dish washer. Since water is much like electricity - taking the path of...
If you underpower your pumps, you will significantly reduce their life. Be well, Mike -- Zone 8, Texas http://www.taroandti.com/ Exotic Plant Info and More......
I'm doing research (my fav thing) and found this. Because there are those in the group who go forth to do good works, I thought someone might find this of use....
Ooo! Great idea! ... From: Greg and April I was thinking a simple timer with a solenoid valve salvaged from a washing machine or dish washer. Since water is...
I know I recently joined this group and haven't posted much, but have a question one of you might be able to answer for me. I have a spring flowing creek that...
Allot of it depends on your local laws regarding surface water. In some places making use of it, even on your own property could violate someone else's water...
Travis, being the "think outside the box" guy he is, said something that triggered something that . . . uh <restraining self>. Then Kim chimed in with the...
Just a bit of advice as you research this, DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR NAME or address. They may come check you out to see if you are doing anything to "Their"...
Hey Kim, I would respectfully disagree with your assumption that submersibles don't get hot. What I am talking about is the instantanious heating in the...
I'm actually going to be using that very concept on the Nile river in a year or so to run aquaculture ponds at a bible school that is getting reopened. We will...
Sounds like a good candidate for a trout pond. Divert some of the flow from the spring to a dug pond and take the outgoing water to irrigate a garden. Trav. ...
Hi Travis, Thanks so much for your reply. We will be focused on growing vegetables, greens, etc. The fish will be there primarily as a nutrient souce for...
Washer solenoid valve requires water pressue to work properly ... no water pressure you have uncertain results and leakage. On Sun, Mar 1, 2009 at 10:20 AM,...
I have to disagree. It's going to depend on the type solenoid ( normally open or normally closed ), and how the valve ( normally open or normally closed ) is...
I was referring not to the electrical part of the valve but the hydralics. Water pressure is a key element in the working design of the valve in most washers...
