Going shopping after work!
I will be finding some large plastic totes to use as my tanks and I need to find a good pump. I think 1000 gph should do the job. If you have a suggestion please comment.
Think 1000 GPH would be more than enough for what you have so far. Hopefully you can adjust the flow on it. Think i'm using a 396gph and I have it turned all the way down. This is the one i'm using.
I still have to add the lower level which will have 4 more 3inch pvc lines and that top level is over 5 ft off the ground. The higher the stronger I need it. I couldn't find a big enough tote tonight so I will have to look around some more. Biggest they had was 50 gallons. I would really like to find a couple 100gallon totes.
Good call. I gave them a call and they have the 110 gal in stock I will go this afternoon and pick it up. Only $49 is a great deal too. They may even have a pump that will work. I never thought about Tractor Supply and they are just down the road from my house. Less than 5 min away.

ReplyDeleteDo you have a tractor supply up there? Wondering if one of these might work.
