Water from the new 2600 gallon tank comes to this valve, then out through the new copper pipe.
|
The old tank line to the cold water faucet is cut off and the new is brought in.
|
But not tight enough - slight leak. Tried this out:
RectorSeal® Pipe Repair Kit. It worked!

The water pressure is much better. Nice!

The final leveling. I used to drop the trailer tongue while away to shed rain. Added a carport last year.

Plumbed in a
Tankless Water Heater.

Insulated only the hot water pipe so far. Also seen
here: the cold water pipe & the solar electric conduit.

Preparing to build a wall of farmed redwood and cedar.
|
Notched the rock to hold the frame - and get a little more width for the gate.

3 shutoff valves are being used here. The top one turns the water off for soaping down without wasting water or loosing the temperature mix. The bottom 2 serve as inexpensive handles but they are difficult to fine tune.
Warning: the hot & cold must be shut off when done or they will backflow into each other, messing things up elsewhere in the system.
|
The PVC valve is closed and the system is drained prior to leaving for an extended period of time.
|
Making sure gale force winds and/or critters can't lift the lid and move on in.
