That's the problem with solar and where the sun shines. A friend spent a lot of money on solar, and here in the Northeast the sun doesn't shine everyday, in the dead of winter we can go for days without seeing the sun. His conclusion is, it ain't worth it, in this part of the world. Another great video, Thanks David.
Thanks Kevin! Yeah, thank God I'm in South Texas. But definitely worth getting the generator outlet in case I need water in a pinch during cloudy days.
I think you are really close to the garden of edan ! Off grid and self sufficient ! That well and solar setup ain’t cheap and as far as the silt goes , keep the water from getting stagnant with a fountain and a filter on the fountain, that should do the trick !
Hey, Im a few miles north of you on FM 536. If you have gophers on the property, you may want to reconsider Poly Pipe for your pond. I made that mistake years ago. Apparently gophers love to chew on it and before long you will have a perforated water pipe. I don't see the tell tell signs (mounds) in your videos, so you may be safe.
Thanks for the tips! Yeah fortunately no gophers here. But that would be a big issue if I did. Hopefully there's nothing else that will take a liking to the pipe or I'll have to bury it.
I would not recommend hooking the large pipe to the bigger outlet on the right pressurized side by doing that your pump is going to be constantly running and it could burn it up. I’d keep it just like u got it with the garden hose or let the rain do it. Also never ever run the left side non pressure side for a long time that side is only flowing when the pump is running so u can burn your pump up running it for a long time like that. I have a well just like yours at my house and have installed a lot and work on customers Wells all the time so I see what makes them fail. Do you know what brand pump they installed by chance? Was it zoeller? Or any idea?
Instead of having a generator power it at night why not just have a bank of batteries that way u can hook a inverter to them and have 120v AC on the whole property so u can power all your things without having to crank a generator every time. You have a great system that was a lot of money!! I’d try and get every bit of my money’s worth out of it!!
@@24acresofparadise Contact a solar contractor and have them change your system around so it is more versatile. Have them install 10 to 20 kWh of lithium iron phosphate batteries and a proper inverter so that you can have power on-tap for the rest of your property as well as the ability to pump water at night when needed. That's a decent sized system and with all the sun you get, it's a total waste not to capture the extra energy and store in batteries. You could even expand upon the system you already have there and not need to run any utility power into the property, period. Might as well use your investment fully.

@@24acresofparadise Water is life.
@@circlethewagons That is the truth!

Thanks Dave. Yeah I plan to get a big solar aerator to keep the water from getting stagnant. About $3k so might not be able to get it right away.
@@24acresofparadise wow !!! 3k is huge to me anyways ! Lol. Nice place !
Dc is for if your running from a battery AC is for generator or outlet anything that has alternating current
Nice! Thanks for the explanation.

I wonder if a person could put a battery bank in and charge it off this system to provide power to the RV.Nice set up.
I would think so. Probably will investigate at some point.

Thanks! I'll look into the type of pump and let you know. Good info!
