  • @ravenbarsrepairs5594
    @ravenbarsrepairs5594 2 ปีที่แล้ว +84

    Most of Brent's water problems are with a poorly designed system at the bottom. The hump in the pipe between the water source and pump is creating an easy way for the pump to lose prime, which is the #1 problem. The pump is also taxed fairly heavily pushing the water up 600+ft. Id add a second line to the bottom with the function of being able to pour water down and re-prime the pump from the surface, as well as adding an intermediate reservoir and second pump half way up so that the lower pump isn't having to lift as far. As I recall, Brent has found ways into some of the upper levels without using the shaft Also flattening the run of line between the pump and the sump at the bottom so there isn't that downhill slope away from the pump on the feed line.

    • @kevinafrank104
      @kevinafrank104 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Yeah, I know it might not be in the budget but two more tanks: one right at the top of the shaft to cover the prime problem, and a dedicated fire irrigation system so you always have full tank available for fire suppression would be ideal. How much water can the aquifer provide? You would have to be able to assemble a drill system on the bottom level to drill deep enough to supply the town. That’s a huge hassle. Also, thinking about off grid solutions for the other utilities. That’s a major headache.

    Thank you so much! I have deep roots in Cerro Gordo having grown up in Bishop and my dad going up there all the time for his translators. I don’t know what we would’ve done without you. The history is so important and I’m glad you see the vision. Thank you all so much!

    Dave. No words can say what needs to said! You, your team and all the associate persons and companies that step up to make the impossible, possible, are a class act! Brent couldn't have taken this town back from the brink of being lost forever without you and your team, as well as the numerous volenteers that also put their own mark on the Cerro Gordo dream. You're a smart business man, TH-cam, your sponsors and more; but your heart go's way beyond keeping a business afloat, and you and the quality people and companies that you surround yourself with, help me keep faith in my fellow man. Thanks for all you do brother, and keep on inspiring us to be better! May God Bless You and Yours!

    I know too many people with big trucks that the heaviest or most challenging thing they've ever put in them is a set of golf clubs.
    So fun to see you using your vehicles the way they should be.
