Just in the last couple of days I have been getting stuck into a small project.
How to get water from a Creek/River/Dam, to use for washing etc.
I started by consulting with a friend about his effort.
I purchased a pressure switched pump from a Caravan accessories outlet. And I purchased a BEST water filter to go with it.
A Shurflo pump 12V 5.5Amp. with a lift capability of 1.5 to 2.0M and a head height of at least 6M., flow rate of 11.3Lpm.
A nylon/teflon cutting board 300Wx400Lx10mm.
Various hose fittings, an in-line irrigation filter (similar to the ones on the Tvan, only bigger) and a roll of 6mm wire (pair in a sheath).
And an air release valve for irrigating things. It gets the diaphragm removed and some lead added and becomes the pick-up.
4 door stoppers (for the feet), packet of small diam. bolts w/nuts, and a couple of the spring steel tool holder clips you screw down (to hold the filter).
Question: How much hose length would be needed/good to have, for the run from the pump to the trailer?
The answer 'However far you are from the water', is unacceptable.
I just want to find out what others have found works. I also don't want to be dragging a B-triple to cater for all the equipment.
Just have to get a box to keep it in now.
