Spring has sprung and I still don't have the outside water operational. Let's do something about that!!

I have set up a pump in the boat house that pumps from well crocks under the boat house. This water is the same as the water in the lake basically and so we use this water for outside needs. Things like washing the car, the windows, watering the gardens and so on.

I have a bored well for potable water.

Last fall I let the water down completely. By that I mean I drained the pump and pressure tank as well as the water lines that run up the hill to the water outlets at the camp, shop and garden.

So this will be a try at getting the pump primed and water flowing to all the outlets starting with a completely dry system. Check out how I go about doing this yearly task!

Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy the video. Please 'thumbs up' me and leave me some comments. And if you haven't done so already, please consider 'subscribing' to my channel. It sure helps my videos get noticed and my channel grow. I hope you all have a great week.

We'll talk to yas ...
